6. Mahalo for this, mcar..

Jim Clyburn: Joins leader Pelosi in quoting MLK, who talked about healthcare as a fundamental right—it was “inhumane” and “egregious” to deny healthcare. Nothing more inhumane or egregious than denying health care to someone who has diabetes, or telling someone with cancer they have to end treatment.

9. Our Dems are awesome!

[George II]

7. Excellent, its amazing how Democrats from coast to coast (yeah, and the Islands too!!!)...

...have come out to laud the failure of trumpcare.

As Ryan put it, Americans will have access to the ACA "for the foreseeable future"!

10. I saw the speech from one of our Island reps

Can't remember who, I'm sorry to say. He spoke about how the bill completely ignored their constituents.

11. Nancy Pelosi worked hard on this.

She deserves a lot of credit for keeping things together for the Democrats ion the House. We are lucky to have her.

[George II]

14. The funny thing is that trump was blaming Democrats for not voting for the bill, but....

....there was no vote! But thankfully Democrats were in full solidarity against this - in both houses. While some were appearing over and over again on television to talk about it, SHE and Democratic leadership were in the offices of all the House (and Senate) Democrats discussing the bill fact to face.

12. Excellent!

Kicking for the am readers, and giving a rec for Nancy!

[mcar]

13. Thanks for the am kick, brer cat!

Nancy deserves the accolades.

15. She's been terrific

Unlike Paul Ryan, she united her party in Congress. Dump can blame Democrats for the loss all he wants, but the fact is that there are deep divisions in the Republican party and Ryan failed to overcome them.

Thank you Nancy!
