[Big Nasty Edison]

The GOP hates Anericans.

 

[oldshadow]

If they fuck this up they are going to lose control of Congress the next election.

 

[Gervinho]

Its a good step for the market. Why should insurance company insure already sick people and lose money. The free market will take care of those with pre existing conditions

 

[*Z*]

This thing won't make it through the house today. There are already enough Republicans against it to kill it today. Back to the drawing board.

They are in a bad spot.
All they can really do is fuck it up without undertaking radical reforms that institute cost controls, and that isn't going to happen.
As they attempt to appease the Freedom caucus, they are alienating moderates.

There is no way not to fuck it up. Their options are:
1) Pass nothing
2) Pass something people HATE
3) Pass something that is functionally the equivalent of Obamacare

This is what happens when you get elected based on empty promises and hollow slogans.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

People like me would be fucked.
"Sorry your have epilepsy, that's your problem. Here's a big fuck you to suck on. "

The free market won't do anything but turn them down or offer coverage that's so expensive that nobody could ever afford it. The free market will get them dead.

It won't.

And if they die, then it just shows thats what they supposed to do. The free market weeds out the weak like natute

 

[Fawlty]

I'm sure plenty of them are drooling for that Koch money. I'm a little surprised the stunt they pulled is even legal.

Well aren't you a heartless dick.

It's almost as if the ACA was better than they thought and might just be the best option. It would be hilarious if after 7 years of crying they just threw up their arms and said "Fuck it, we can't do better"

 

[Gervinho]

Well aren't you a heartless dick.

Most peope who voted for would support this even if they have pre existing conditions. Get government out of healthcare

 

[HockeyBjj]

Well aren't you a heartless dick.

He's a troll looking to rustle. Don't take the bait (wasn't bad bait tho. He's getting better)

 

[lecter]

Don't pass anything and repeal Obamacare

 

[luckyshot]

It won't.

Didn't before Obamacare. Won't after Obamacare.

Repeat after me:

"The free market, doesn't give a shit about people."
