Oh dear. :/
Hopefully this bill dies in the Senate.
More importantly, every congressman who voted for this Trumpcare should be publicly branded with this "W" and everything that comes with it in 2018 and beyond. For people who don't want to vote against their own interests like last time and shoo out the clowns.

You been living under a rock? The largest protest in American history took place earlier this year. Many cities have protests every other week.

They were taunting the republicans that cast a vote for this on the assumption that they will lose their seat because of it. They weren't cheering the passing of the resolution.
Someone said they only need 50 votes. I don't know wtf anymore.
If you don't want this bill to pass, call your senators ASAP!

BREAKING: House panel approves bill to undo much of Dodd-Frank law enacted after financial crisis.

They did when they fucking voted against it. Think before you post. They're singing to tell the Republicans they're going to die next year.
The dismal thing about healthcare is that I don't trust anyone, the politicians, the insurance companies, or any doctor or dentist ... any medical professional I've been to. Give it 10 years and we'll all be taking heredity tests to assess our friggin' risk based on our gene pool.
they're telling the GOP that they're in for hell...I think.
It won't be spun as such and you know it.
Sadly, we have an incredibly stupid electorate. It also means Trump still has some leverage with his party, despite his daily stupidity and terrible approval ratings.

If this is seen as reconciliation, then this will just need a 50%+1 majority in the Senate. Which plenty there say lots of things, but ultimately fall in line on the GOP side.
If this needs to break the filibuster, it'll be nearly impossible unless Turtle nukes the rules again.

What was the vote tally? Party break-down? (I assume every single Democrat voted against)
But at least they aren't murderers.

Democrats always do this kind of stuff, if healthcare does get cheaper for healthy people guess who wins again.

Yeah there's an arcane law where they only need 51 before some budget period or some bullshit.

They voted unanimously against this (though that took a little arm twisting).
But sure.. fuck the *dems*.
Who paid for this beer? Taxpayers?
Yeah it wasn't the most tactful response.
The Democrats are right to privately gloat: I think there will be electoral ramifications if this passes that will hurt the Republicans, but I don't know if celebrating 2018 midterm prospects is the best way to respond right now.

I mean, it's a party mostly filled with old, rich white men hailing from southern states. What's surprising about them hating a progressive black president from Chicago?
yes, just like Congress won't vote on this again after last week :/

Guys I get the call your senator thing, but you also need to realize some of us live in states that it isn't gonna matter. If you live in a state that would actually matter get on that phone.
Nod.
Nod.
Because GOP senators cannot hide behind gerrymandering, and many of them are perfectly aware that this bill will kill their re-election chances. Dean Heller cannot vote for this bill, or he will lose in 2018. Susan Collins is mulling a gubernatorial run the same year; Lisa Murkowski would be cutting her own throat, if you've seen the CBO projections for what this would do to Alaska.
This scraped through the House by a single vote. It's DOA in the Senate without major revisions that would just send it back to the House.
DAE Milennials???? We have been protesting constantly since the Cheeto got elected.
Momentum of what?
Passing a terrible bill without any CBO report, and dozens of health care organisations decrying it?
Interesting bit of history
