1. how about the Senate ?

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Ryan must be salivating at the chance to deprive poor brown people from healthcare.

And if some white folks get caught in the shuffle, well fuck them, they shouldnt be poor

right Paul?

You filthy fucking murderer.

[flamingdem]

3. He spent the day handing out pork and bribing the maybes

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. He will get our Medicare and Soc Sec next. He is a filthy and disgusting pile of human shit.

14. Probably threatening them, too. Trump's a bully.

[flamingdem]

19. Threat is right, otherwise they'd be too afraid of their constituents

It's certainly implied that Rump will fry them if they resist

[riversedge]

4. damn

[Jersey Devil]

[spanone]

[angstlessk]

8. How long will the repercussions be delayed?

Till AFTER the 2018 vote?

[roamer65]

10. Insurance will be useless after they pass this POS.

[C_U_L8R]

11. They're gonna do it live

[moondust]

15. They HAD to schedule it for tomorrow, votes or not

Friday begins a week long recess and members will be long gone from early in the day. If they did not schedule it for tomorrow they could not bring it up for a vote tomorrow. They can always scrap any vote if the yes votes are not really there.

[flamingdem]

20. Good info n/t

[kentuck]

16. It looks like Trump whipped them into line?

Probably threatened to primary them?

[flamingdem]

22. Yes, but up the thread someone wrote that they have to schedule for tomorrow if they

plan to vote at all due to the recess. So if they don't have it tomorrow they can scrap it I suppose

[vlyons]

17. When CBO finally scores it, which they will

Trump No-Healthcare will be shown to be a disaster. Probably bloat the deficit and cost a bundle for working families. Millions will lose their current healthcare. Plus the senate will not pass this crap.

But - good news! It sets us up beautifully to go for universal healthcare. The republicans will regurgitate all their old crap about the horrors of socialized medicine. So we better have a better message than we did when the ACA was rolled out.

[herding cats]

18. I just got a push from CNN saying they have the votes.

Game on.

[flamingdem]

21. Or it's CNN helping by not finding out for sure, just believing what Trump's people say

Trump is hoping momentum pushes it over.

What about the 30 undecideds.. all changed just like that?

[herding cats]

23. In their defense, they're quoting McCarthy.

"We will be voting on the health care votes tomorrow. Because we have enough votes. It'll pass. It's a good bill," McCarthy, R-California, told reporters.

"We're gonna pass it. We're gonna pass it," he added. "Let's be optimistic about life."

Will it pass? Probably, unless people call their asses off tonight before the vote.
