How's that Obamacare Repeal Working Out For You?

[C-Mag]

FAIL !
FAIL !
FAIL !


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.

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

Well there is no telling what McCain and Lindsey will do tbh

They need only a majority.

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

But the entire thing is almost a budget reconciliation to begin with. Take the individual mandate take the penalty, which is a tax, which is budgetary lower it to $0.01 and viola obamacare repraled. The rest of the mandates, Tom Price can do whatever, that is what happens when every clause starts with "as the Secretary shall determine."

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.

The rules on such as the filibuster can only be changed before or after and not during a season. Since this year's Congress is now in session we'd have to wait until the Fall, if not later.

Whatever we individually want, we're all assuming they actually want to solve this mess, never mind having the courage to do so, which is big assumption. Unfortunately.

I refuse to believe Trump will sell us out. I do believe that no matter what happens it's not going to be great. I just want it gone. Fuck this gay earth.

[StCapps]

He could be selling you out, or he could be trying to throw Paul Ryan under the bus while pretending that he's doing all he can to help. You best hope it's the latter America.

[TheReal_ND]

That was my original hypothesis. The latter. Fife is gas lighting the fuck out of me and I'm going to kick his lilly ass.
