The tax package is the whole ballgame, of course. All the rest of this sh-t was just to put them into a position where they could stage The Heist, just like last time (Dubya) and the time before (Reagan).

Meanwhile they can engineer the .001% tax cut on health care by just eliminating that funding from the budget, which will also bankrupt the entire health care infrastructure after which Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Ryan can stand atop the burning rubble and say, "See? I told you tall buildings aren't safe!"

Yeah, I agree 100% with all of that. :)

The whole health care bill is basically a screen for tax cuts for the rich anyway.

No vote today, What a shame

Yes, it also appears that the really is the only part of Obamacare that they were upset with. It is interesting how the fiscal sanity party is the party that doesn't care if it has enough revenues to pay the bills.

New CBO scoring after various amendments added to try to win votes, and 24 million still lose coverage while the plan costs more money. Where does that money go if not to insure people?

So no vote on the plan today. What happened to the Donald's great negotiating skills?

Well that would be the best of both worlds for them. They get the tax cuts, and then they don't really care if it collapses under its own weight or not. To them it's just another reason to get rid of it altogether later on. For now it's getting the tax cuts and keeping the veneer of similar coverage (ignoring the CBO) until they dump that later.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is dumber than her moronic, racist, sexist homophobic father. But I pray she is right because when this passes the GOP might as well start ritualistic suicides :D

Paul Ryan + Donald Trump = John Boehner :)

My point is it may get Congress turnover but not a single Trump supporter will be swayed.

Who cares. Let them rot. We arent out to change their mind we are out to change the rest of the people's mind.

Trumpy's done with it. Too lazy to actually buckle down and do the job he was elected to do. Either vote tomorrow, or he's walking away. Can't be hanging around DC when there's golf to be played in Florida.

Even better...not only is this failing but it is doing so so spectacularly he is just going to walk away from it and leave ObamaCare intact! He couldnt look worse :D
 
Re: The PPACA Thread Part IV - Repeal & Replace, or Something...

He's not just walking away. He's going to go play golf. What a piece of shut.

It's hilarious. He's going to wak away from the presidency eventually. Isn't he?

They took even more out of it for the FC, including emergency room visits.
