This  was  called an " almost winner" on the Bozo show.

" Sorry GOP kids,  you're healthcare plan didn't pass.
That's ok, because you're an almost winner"

Now they ask Hillary how it feels to almost win. ;D

Can I just get my old health insurance back already?

The one I was told I could keep?

I agree, but you know congress.

If it's not broke, let's try to fix it.

As comic  Lewis Black said ;

" Congress is very bi-partisan. The democrat stands up and says I have a bad idea .
The republican then jumps up and shouts how they can make it worse."

LOL, Obamacare was a bad idea and the latest GOP bill proves  they cam make it even worse.

If you registered to vote as a Dem you have to keep Kenyacare.

If you're a registered Republican then you get new health care.

If you're a member of congress or the senate, you get Kenyacare and you have to pay for it yourself

The problem is that they have to work within the confines of an already overly intervened system. To truly overhaul it, you have to get rid of employer-based health care which has the effect of tethering people to their jobs, something highly inefficient in an era where people rarely stay with the same company for their entire career.

Don't know what all the fuss is about...

Step #1 - Repeal Oturdocare

Step #2 - Put back in place the same system that was around for 100 years prior that nobody ever complained about until recently

Step #3 - Take your time and both sides figure out if they can find something they all like and agree upon even if it takes a decade.


WTF is the problem...

Too many people (citizens and illegals) expecting something for nothing.

Too many people not realizing the difference between healthcare and health insurance.

A nation who has been replaced by a weak, frail generation.

I very highly suspect that the reason has to do with everyone's pockets being lined with health insurance money.

Think about it, the people in power were voted to lead the country to, among many other things, repeal Obamacare, and these senile OLD white men can't seem to gather enough enthusiasm to get rid of it.

Drain the swamp Donald!

Not only that, Congress has their own form of healthcare that is funded by taxpayers.

They should be forced to have Obamacare.healthcare.gov .fuckoff

Trump changed it to "Drain the Sewer" and he's right. Been reading how Hollywood leftists and leftists in general are singing the praises of McCain and what a "hero" he was for that vote....as if it was going to be any different with him. What does that tell you about McCain and the other GOPers that voted against it. All this is pure political undermining of Trump them wanting single payer.

This is hardly news. The Republicrats have one goal in common: To maintain themselves in positions of power for life.

If we all think that that isn't their goal, I've got a bridge I want to sell you.

John McCain was always a lying, grandstanding prick. He's a fucking RINO who will be dead before reelection.

Goodbye and good riddance

Within hours of major brain surgery, 80 yr old Sen McCain flies back to take part in the health care vote.
With one quick thumbs down, he stops Trump's latest turd-care bill.

You should be the majority Senate leader.

And people still don't understand why Trump won... Independent voters hate this type of shit, and both parties are refusing to change their message/platform.

I am praying for a true third party to form.

I would love for all the bigger name conservatives (Paul, Cruz, etc.) to go off and start a new party. That would give it immediate recognition/some legs to stand on and get things rolling.

I had to the chance to ask about "starting a viable 3rd party" directly to *Christie Todd Whitman.
She was the Gov of NJ back in the 1990's and was W. Bush's 1st EPA secretary ( 2001-3)
She was giving a speech and book signing of " My Party Too" in ATL.

Only 30-40 people were there so I got to speak with her directly.
Her view was that it would cost too much $$ to make a new 3rd party viable.
Plus, she felt the republican party should be a big tent party and return to reasonable compromise , like Reagan.

I read her book and sadly, her prediction that we'd become even more polarized came true.
A Pew study showed , that back in 2008, we had 147 "centrist " in congress.
In 2016, it showed only 4 were centrist.

The result = GRIDLOCK.
Nothing much gets down and both sides throw red meat to the base to raise campaign $$$.
