The GOP's Obamacare repeal-only plan is already on the verge of stalling

[Demsrule86]

Two Senators (Chechez La Femme) Collins and Capito have said that they won't vote for the repeal only bill...not even to bring it to the floor. And with John McCain sick, that means McConnell doesn't have the votes.

1. No one is going to walk that plank.

[Demsrule86]

2. Thanks God for self-interest!

Yep, you are correct. This is probably why Trump is now calling for 'Obamacare to fail'. But since the moderate GOP are already calling for 'fixes', it won't happen.

3. I would assume at least Moran, Portman, and Heller would also oppose...

...because their states benefit bigly from Medicaid expansion, which pure repeal would end in 2019.

5. Moran won't. He could care less what happens to Kansans,

as long as the Kochs are happy.

8. He didn't vote for the Senate bill

9. That's because it wasn't conservative enough.

I live in Kansas and believe me this guy hates everybody but big campaign donors.

13. He was one of the Senators that wouldn't vote for deathcare and is why McConnell scrapped it.

10. They may not say so, but I don't see how they vote for repeal..without replacement.

I am relieved to read it.

14. The ACA saved my daughters life. She had severe depression and made plans for suicide...it makes me

cry to even write this...under our old employee policy mental health was not covered;the ACA forced them to provide coverage, and the it kicked in before she became ill...a week in the hospital...lots of therapy and medication...today I have my daughter back. A couple of years have passed. She made Dean's list last year ...both semesters. She has a lovely girlfriend and smiles again. Thanks Obama!

15. How wonderful for you and your daughter! I am so glad to read this.

[Demsrule86]

16. We had no mental health coverage before the ACA...she is a wonderful girl.

The doctor said the young are having trouble transitioning from being kids to being adults...he thinks this is also why we have a heroin epidemic...self medication.

11. This is great news for millions of Americans.

The ACA saved my daughters life.

7. Repeal the undermining!

Reps have tried to defund and undermine O Care, repeal those efforts and tweak a couple of other things and we have a great law that Reps can then claim some credit for too.

17. Exactly, this could be a win win for them...but Ryan has been dreaming of killing Medicare and the

millions of Americans who depend on it since his kegger days. While other young men dreamed about a promising future and chased girls or maybe boys...he dreams of starving babies...he must have a real sad today.
