How's that Obamacare Repeal Working Out For You?

[Martin Hash]

This is a good thing: Trump needs to be in conflict with Republicans on healthcare to keep us Hopefuls in his camp.

[Speaker to Animals]

People really need to push for Medicare for all. I don't think Trump would be opposed to it. It's the republicans.

Then move on to other business. We just went through this thing a few years ago. Let Obamacare stand or perish on it's merits with no modifications, bailouts or anything. If it works, fine, if it doesn't. Pick up the pieces after it implodes and you've got a clean slate to start over.

Sounds good. Whatever you do, just don't get sick.

Trump can't just get away with this weak healthcare shit. Every Republican in the government has a mandate to repeal Obamacare, especially Trump himself.

They have sixty votes for that?

[Speaker to Animals]

They need only a majority.

[SuburbanFarmer]

They need only a majority.

Nope. Not unless it's a non-budgetary "Reconciliation" measure. My state-funded propaganda radio station explained this yesterday.

Huh.

[Speaker to Animals]

Wait. They need 60 to overcome a filibuster, but they can change the rules to prohibit filibuster with a majority (I think).

The actual repeal only requires a majority. It's the filibuster faggotry that is the problem, and ending that farce is almost as important, really.

[Speaker to Animals]

And that's not accounting the possibility of the Republicans resorting to the nuclear option.
