"Health care" bill withdrawn due to lack of votes

I love how for the first time in nearly a decade, its the GoP bitching about Dems "not working together with us."

Democrats should call the GoP's bluff and say the only health care plan they would support must include a single-payer option.

I would not be surprised if Real Time tonight was just an hour of Bill Maher jacking off while high. I don't mean metaphorically either.

Considering the one before the election was him literally drunk off his ass, that might happen.

Now, obviously it was still a terrible bill, but that's because they genuinely want terrible things.

If they had any measure of engagement with reality this bill would be stillborn the moment the ink on the paper dried up. Instead, they kept kidding themselves that they could ram it through. They all want terrible things, but they don't want to pay the price when enacting these awful policies.

Finally something good happens during this administration.

BEST NEGOTIATOR EVER

Maybe if they hadn't try to ram this through in a few weeks instead of spending the time to flesh it out and have a bill ready that can actually pass they wouldn't look like such idiots right now.
Give them a break. They only had 7 years to come up with a good replacement.

But Spicer said there was no plan B.
If they won't let women have it, why would they have it themselves?

So the question is with them failing this, what will they do to harm the ACA out of spite to make it seem like it's a disaster?

Without several legislative fixes the ACA will struggle with insurancs companies pulling out of market places and red states not expanding medicare and possibly the federal budget not funding the existing medicare expansions. Republicans can make the ACA "blow up" of they want to.

Lol Jack Kingston is now saying Trump didn't focus on repeal and replace as a primary campaign issue. And that it definitely wasn't number one.

Got grilled for it

OK America, he's had his fun.

You know how bad Trump is? He's even incompetent at being utterly fucking useless.

Can you get rid of him by April 1st?

Thanks.

Rest of World.

Silly to put blame on dems lol. Did trump have any meetings with them? Was there any attempt by anyone lol.

Ok, but Trump's new to this politicking thing. Expecting him to provide all the votes on an issue is just unfair. Democrats should have spotted him a few votes as a handicap to make it more fair. He's new at this and healthcare is, like, super complicated, AND his party is kneecapped by an incompetent leader AND a chunk of his team is crazy. Shame on Democrats, man. I hope they're kept up at night thinking about how much rich people needed those tax cuts which will now be wasted on treating dirty normal people.

Lol, they didn't want it but Trump batted fucking hard for this bill. Whoops.
 
Can someone post a TLDR for non-americans?
The republicans failed to pass their own bill?

Pretty much, yea. Hence the laughing by us.

Also you should understand the Republicans had been campaigning on this bill for 7 years. And they have full, unchecked power in the government right now. There's was literally nothing stopping them at all from passing ANYTHING they wanted, and they still managed to come up empty handed.

Freedom Caucus is a far right subsect of the Republican party in the house. They want a total complete repeal of Obamacare. These are basically the Tea Party zealots who shut down the government a few years ago. Regular ass republicans want to replace it with Obamacare-lite, because Obamacare is actually really popular. It's a shitty bill that favors rich people but keeps too much of the ACA for Tea Party psychos to let pass.

As I mentioned before, all the Trumpsters wanted it until Breitbart told them they didn't want it.

Talk about a true hivemind.

A good number of people were pointing that out, but the mods were quickly deleting those posts. Sad!!

The dissonance that must exist in their heads where they praise their "godmods" for removing critical posts but then complain about Reddit curtailing their free speech.
