This is the dumbest fucking shit I've ever seen. Can't even be given fives minutes? Over a bill they wrote during lunch? The GOP is pure evil.

I actually feel nauseated. There's no word for what this is. It's just gross, willful, violent negligence.
They did not, don't spread disinformation. They reworked the bill to be able to pass under Byrd's Rule.

Remember when the media was non-stop about how Obama and the Dems were ramming Obamacare through with not enough time for people to read the bill and other shit despite months of discussion? Yeah, I fucking remember.
Hi Zolo, I'm Iolo.
They could, and it would absolutely destroy House-Senate relations. I'm not sure even Paul Ryan is that dumb but I can't rule it out.
My aunt is on dialysis. My uncle has a brain tumor. they are getting divorce to have separate insurance cause they ran out of money for her medication for the next 3 months (insurance only paid so much). The GOP bill will kill her. He likely won't get surgery. They will leave behind a disabled daughter who will likely lose benefits too. Hard working people who did everything right all their lives will die for some rich tax cuts and a fuck you to women.
That's for nominations, not regular laws.
Because they're trash?
The individual and employer mandates will cease to exist the moment the bill is enacted, retroactive to the beginning of this year. That means for individuals on their taxes next April they won't have to pay any penalties. It also means enrollment for next year will be directly impacted and the overall effects on cost and participation in the exchanges will likely happen in time for enrollment next year.
But they've been blocking this shit this entire time.

That is a prayer that isn't gonna be answered, a win on this is required or Trump cannot move forward. This will be his Waterloo, he has to get a win. It might not be a great win, but the ACA is done. It might not be tonight, but it is over boys/girls. Elections matter, this one is gonna hurt and kill people.

They definitely care, that's why they're doing it now in the midst of the night.
They'll put some "continuous coverage" clause in and say "Fixed!". And someone here who's more entrepreneurial than me can them set up their own insurance broker that pushes and pops people off insurance when they need/don't need it and spreads the premiums + penalty out to give you gold plans for basically free. Everyone wins! (until blue cross goes out of business).
And the employed and the unemployed.

I don't wanna hear another GODDAMNED thing about how being a republican is hard on these forums THIS IS WHAT YOU SUPPORT. THIS IS ON YOU
I think that is a naive view. There was backlash against coverage for people who folks thought were undeserving, who hadn't earned it. There was anger about poor people and waived fees and discounted plans.

If McCain votes yes on this, especially after his speech, he can rot.
Doesn't the Parlimentarian weigh in a few days later?
I've basically shut down my company now that Humana pulled out of the ACA market

Seriously. People still don't grasp how interrelated the health sector is. You cannot be insulated from the effects of this.
Are you talking about Collins and Alaskan Woman? They aren't voting for this.

Schumer is always smiling and this can pass with a McCain no.

Murkowski likely is.

Schumer smiling even though he's screaming inside.
There's been talk that they might have flipped Murkowski. That way McCain can vote no, be a MAVERICK and still nothing changes.

Yeah, I am expecting that they're allowing McCain to vote no because they can afford it.
