Doesn't surprise me in the least was written by the Establishment and was meant to fail, just like the UACA...

Hi guys,

So, what's the take away from this news. Is President Trump going to walk away as he has said? Or, will we hear him once again claim that he didn't say that, but it was some report that he read of something that someone else said?

Are we the laughing stock of the world yet?

I guess President Trump will spend another 6 million dollar weedend at Mar-a-Lago licking his wounds.

God bless you guys,
In Christ, ted

Judging from Speaker Paul Ryan's remarks just now, they will revisit healthcare later and focus on other matters which have more agreement now. Ryan specifically mentioned tax reform.

In the mean time Obamacare will continue to implode and those aspects of it which do not work will become more painfully obvious ... and hopefully easier then to dismantle.

It isn't really obamacare imploding but the healthcare system following the same course it was before at a slower pace. the ACA was a speedbump. So all joking and proding aside, we really do need to tackle our healthcare problem. The ACHA would have sped up the problem instead of further slowing or reversing it.

Looks like the 6 years of saying no to everything coming from the president and ruling party left some permanent damage.

Without any intention to flame america or any board member.. people indeed have been laughing a lot about your country since the last election. I don't think this is going to change many opinions.

The longer it runs, the better it runs. So every month they put off taking it down, the harder it will be...

Obamacare update: Still succeeding, repeal fading

And keep in mind, this is with millions more people with healthcare, and many others with better insurance than they had.
The graphic above embodies the latest good-news story connected with the Affordable Care Act. It shows how projections of U.S. healthcare spending growth have come sharply down since Obamacare’s enactment in 2010. The latest projections are $2.6 trillion lower than the original post-ACA baseline forecast through 2020 — a reduction in projected spending of almost 13%.

This is known as “bending the cost curve”: Americans will be spending more in 2020 than they are now, but the rate of increase looks to be significantly slower than anyone expected. In raw numbers, the new expectation is that 2020 spending will come to about $4 trillion, compared to the $4.6 trillion projected at the time of the act’s enactment.

It seems that the primary thing about Obamacare that infuriates republicans is that it works as intended.

 

[The Barbarian]

Is it any surprise that so many republican congresspeople are frightened at the prospect of repealing it?

This is particularly true when they consider that the very people repeal will most harm are those who voted for them.

It seems Trump is bracing for a third humiliating defeat as his party turns out to be too partisan to compromise and too weak to govern.

That certainly eases my mind.

I, for one, look forward to the coming days of healthcare Nirvana.

I'm watching Trump on TV right now, and can't help but think: For the love of all that is holy, get this guy a script.

Nervous laughter, most of it.

Ha Ha!

"No one knew healthcare would be so complicated."
Trump

 

[JGG]

I'm also loving that he keeps saying "We got no Democrat support." No. Of course you didn't. The moderate Republicans rejected the bill. You had control of the House and things were going to be worse in the Senate. What a shock that you didn't get Democrats supporting it.

 

[Gene2memE]

So tired of all this winning.

It is exhausting.

Once upon a time,(so the story goes) the Texas A&M football team decided they were tired of getting whomped by Texas every year. So they came up with a plan. When the game started, one of the coaches set off the tornado siren, and all the Texas players fled the field for shelters.

Four plays later, A&M scored.

Trump and the republicans are sort of like that. Except of course, they failed to score.

I'd be interested in how the MSM is going to avoid reporting how the Democrats stood in the way. Did they vote for this bill? But we won't hear about how they were obstructing anything. All we'll hear about is how the Republicans couldn't agree with each other about what should be in the bill.
