You didn’t actually think Trumpcare stood a chance, did you? The only form of healthcare that would be supported on the right is nothing at all — wild west corporate hegemony. The left wants socializedcare — but a fucked up version that crushes the hearts and souls of the middle class. I’ll say it again, no healthcare plan worth its salt will ever benefit both the consumer and the corporate America. There must be significant controls and concessions made by the healthcare industry, else we’re just shuffling chairs on the Titanic.
Naturally, the rightwingers are so upset over this debacle. Here’s VP Pence, angered, telling congress to ‘get to work.’
Spare me the fucking platitudes.
Or how about this nutcase, Senator McConnell, pretending that he cares about the poor little American people.
The whole thing is a farce and I knew it because healthcare stocks have been rising ever since this Trumpcare horseshit was revealed. They rose with Obamacare too, so don’t act like the democrat plan was any better. For this to work, we need to fucking fleece the healthcare and drug companies, communist style. Raid their offices, club to death a few senior management, and order them to lower prices — else face death.
The Senate must go to a 51 vote majority instead of current 60 votes. Even parts of full Repeal need 60. 8 Dems control Senate. Crazy!

With only a very small majority, the Republicans in the House & Senate need more victories next year since Dems totally obstruct, no votes!

President Drumpf seems to think the best way to pass this crooked piece of legislation is to lower the bar to pass laws in the Senate from 60 to 51, a simple majority. Libfags were proposing this in 2010.
WRONG.
Americans don’t trust any of you and would prefer to keep the 60 vote majority in order to stop faggots from ruining the country. It’s nice to have a majority — but it’s also important to at least get a handful of people from the other party to agree, right?
So, for now, healthcare and repeal are dead. Obamacare is the law of the land, and the market is yawning as a result.
UPDATE: Trump responds — ‘Let Obamacare fail.’
Trump won’t own this because he’s a lame duck, one termer and he knows it. RIP GOP.
President’s aren’t considered lame in their first 6 months in office.
“There must be significant controls and concessions made by the healthcare industry, else we’re just shuffling chairs on the Titanic.”
That’s exactly right. Honestly, I don’t see how this is a left and right issue. Who doesn’t want to be able to have a health care issue without it causing a bankruptcy and/or stripping one’s patience and dignity? My family makes well into the six figures, pays $1500+ a month for health care for family of three, and my wife, who has had a tough time with her health this year gets treatment as if we lived in a hut in Biafra. It’s completely maddening. We can’t possibly be the only ones feeling this way, yet nothing gets done and things just get worser and worser.
+1 Same situation in my family.
Get the government out of the healthcare business except for Medicare and Medical.
I think this is a great idea. Hospitals, pharma, anyone in the supply line should just charge what the market can bear at that moment. Think of what a team of used car salesmen could get done with an emotional mother or father in a time of crisis, “So how much of a down payment can you afford, and how do you want your monthly payments to be for us to save little Suzy’s life?”
Very sad, this shit is a joke.
Fake fucking News. Unlike the Satanic Democrats that vote to sell infant body parts as one demonic hell source of evil. There is no fucking “Republican” party. It is a con.
Id like to knock your teeth out.
