Love the quotes in the title.

How long until enough GOP legislators figure the risk of political suicide by yanking the healthcare away from tens of millions of citizens is worth it?

I guess here come the tax cuts that people will praise for a year, and then end up having to pay for twice over once the inevitable recession they cause hits years down the road.
 
Okay, fine. Doesn't negate the rest of what I said.

The GOP cannot make a healthcare bill that pleases every part of the party. It just isn't possible, and it's a big reason why the AHCA failed. I don't see how they could make a second bill that somehow pleases everyone.

I hope they will try to fix the ACA instead of screwing everyone over.
Ryan saying ACA will stay the law of the land for the foreseeable future.

The bill had a 17% approval rating, huge amounts of republicans hated it.

I think we've learned that facts are pretty useless now. To the kind of person that voted for Trump, this is just "big government" never going away. Screw the fact that this bill wasn't going to save anyone on taxes and that it was going to be a huge disaster. I think we've learned that a lot of this stuff is down to weird principles and emblematic causes. My biggest worry is that something is going to fuck up in the ACA that could have been prevented by good governence, but out of spite nothing's going to happen and it'll all get blamed on the dems.

STILL, I do revel in the fact that this is what the republicans had been whining about for years and years and yet they were too incompetent to do anything about it when they finally got the chance.
 
Republicans have had a hard on for repealing this thing for 7 years. It's been a unifying feature of their party for 7 years. They practiced by passing repeal votes in the house for 7 years.

And they can't even do this. Sad
