GOP ACA Replacement Imminent....Predictions

[Puffnstuff]

Their donors don't give a shit.

I disagree good sir. They do care but only about themselves and damn everyone else.

 

[dainthomas]

As a side note the GOP is furnishing the press with some crazy bad footage of the police literally dragging very handicapped people out of the capital. Not exactly going to be winning hearts and minds.

How generous of them to write every democratic campaign commercial for next year.

 

[UNCjigga]

Can't wait for cable news to keep looping video of the GOP forcibly removing people in wheelchairs. Own it Republicans. Own it!

"Sorry kid, those assholes in there would have my job if I didn't kick you out, and then I'D lose healthcare too!"

Death Race 2017!

Death Race 2017!

And there is beer all over my pants... SOB.

Oh this is hilarious... While all these protestors are being arrested and/or kicked out: https://twitter.com/jstein_vox/status/912380980119384064

Bill Cassidy is literally yawning in the corner: https://twitter.com/mepfuller/status/912381148160020487

Hey that $3 billion slush fund you setup for Louisiana was a pretty nice add to the latest bill, right?

 

[K1052]

Collins now a no vote after preliminary crappy CBO score is released. Bill is dead. Again.

 

[K1052]

In other news Sen. Ron Johnson wants to combine healthcare with the upcoming tax "reform" push under reconciliation rules.

When one fails to juggle oranges I guess the next logical step should be to juggle hand grenades with loose pins.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

The CBO report is about as expected. Millions will lose coverage. So many variables since it depends on what states do. Come 2026 everyone is fucked since the block grants vanish.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Senator Collins is a definite no vote on this iteration.

[Triloby]

Collins, McCain, and Rand Paul (really?) have officially decided to oppose the Graham-Cassidy Bill. This has effectively blocked the bill from being passed.

They will keep going at it. Never belive otherwise.

I never pretended otherwise. That said, the GOP sacks of shit are trying to get this bill voted on before the end of the month. Hopefully, they won't succeed on their vote on Saturday.

Even so, that's not going to stop them from sabotaging the ACA at any cost.

How generous of them to write every democratic campaign commercial for next year.

Don't worry, they'll still fuck it up.

 

[OWR88]

Trump is a failure compares to the black guy. Trumpcare is apparently not nearly as popular as Obamacare.

 

[vi edit]

At this point...this is how I can summarize the last nine months....

 

[Blackjack200]

Yup, and it seems like this is going to continue indefinitely. Now, instead of passing horrible bills that they know the president is not going to sign, they debate horrible bills that the president WOULD sign, and rely on a few senators to kill it.

 

[K1052]

The Senate GOP is supposed to decide today to either give up and not have a vote or to force a vote that will fail. Obviously the considerations are merely optical at this point since the actual result is the same.

I'm so hoping they try to tack a new effort on to tax "reform".

Or they could start working on help for Puerto Rico and USVI.

Or reauthorize the FAA and CHIP but fuck that noise...they have rich people to make wealthier and poor people to kill.

 

[K1052]

There will be no vote on Graham-Cassidy. The current effort is dead.

There are still 4 more days until the 30th. If at first you don't succeed, lie lie again.

They swear that is the final disposition on this dead horse.

Trying to cram it into the, already contentious, tax bill would be weapons grade crazy. I doubt they'll really try.
