It's not a house, it's a lifestyle.

A cbo score would just hurt feelings

The amount of hope that people are pinning on the Senate not passing this thing is distressing.

The Democrats aren't going to re-take the House.

they are mutually unlikely (voters aren't going to care what the house voted on if it doesn't become law), but not individually unlikely.

That was embarrassing on so many levels. Pelosi is such a dumbfuck

So after the new Trumpcare suppresses rape reporting, Trump will claim he personally reduced the number of rapes.

I think the senate will do w/e to tweak it and punt it back to the house, who will then pass it, and then it'll pass senate.

IDK if the dems will retake the house or not, they'll at least have a lot of firepower to work with if they can leverage it properly, can they get enough to change the closer districts.

I hate Pelosi as a person btw, just cause I lean left doesn't mean I can't find her an insufferably smug bitch.

More legislation to help the rich and kick the nuts in of the poor. Oh well

This makes some improvements, but it not a really good bill by any stretch. That is because the GOP lacked the intelligence and courage to scrap the filibuster and start from scratch. So we're left with carving out chunks of Obamacare while keeping some of its framework in place, which may help (or maybe not) but it sure looks ugly.

Again, it bears repeating, repeatedly, that if you supported the liberals who rammed through Obamacare, you don't get to complain about this. When you start the fire, you don't get to complain when the volunteer fire brigade demolishes your house putting it out.

Why didn't they just repeal obamacare fully? I thought that's what Republicans ran on?

I like ksuw's stance that if you supported Obamacare you can't complain when it's repealed.

It's Ron prince bold

your post is as coherent as anyone can muster in defense of this monstrosity.

the only positive is it may finally lead us to Medicare for all.

Closet obamacare supporters out in full force!

I'm glad the pubs finally figured out they can do whatever the eff they want because obamacare gave them a perpetual majority and their counterparty is a bunch of raving lunatics with zero credibility.

It's fun to watch.

Two problems here: First, if you supported Obamacare, and more importantly, if you still support Obamacare as premiums rise and the exchanges implode, you're a dumbass. Second, this bill does not repeal Obamacare - just pieces of it, sort of.

The honest answer is that these people aren't terribly bright, or bold. They claimed that Senate parliamentary procedures ("reconciliation") only allowed portions of Obamacare to be repealed (mainly the taxes) with 51 votes, and they would need 60 to override a filibuster for the rest of the repeal. That's not a very convincing argument, nor is it really a good excuse.
