Thread: Trump Care Is Being Voted On...What's your guess.

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 24, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – After 48 hours of bickering and negotiations, House Republicans have pulled the American Health Care Act (ACHA), an Obamacare replacement bill defunding most of Planned Parenthood.

Conservative and some moderate Republicans opposed the bill. The former said it was too much like Obamacare and didn't repeal enough of it. Democrats railed against it on the House floor today.

The vote was originally supposed to be Thursday, Obamacare's seventh anniversary. It was delayed as conservative Republicans said it didn't go far enough and it was unclear if it had the votes to pass.

The conservative House Freedom Caucus met with President Trump on Thursday morning. The Freedom Caucus was trying to get the bill to dismantle more of Obamacare.

"This bill gets worse by the hour," Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards told supporters in a panicked email last night. The ACHA would prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving government reimbursements from Medicaid. The money would be redirected to non-abortion federally qualified community health centers.

"President Trump delivered an ultimatum to House Republicans on Thursday night: Vote to approve the measure to overhaul the nation’s health-care system on the House floor Friday, or reject it and the president will move on to his other legislative priorities," the Washington Post reported.

Clearly they didn't give a flying fuck about his ultimatum. "Art of the Deal" my arse, why do they keep banging on about it, the orange-faced wanker didn't even write it.

I think the realities of it if it's instituted would be more catastrophic, and many Republicans know this. I think it won't pass.

Agree in it's current form but 7 years of hammering the ACA, eventually they will have to pass a replacement.

As long as we have people out there like Senator Tammy Duckworth hammering at whatever Lyin' Ryan comes up with then maybe we'll get something decent.

When you have somebody like Duckworth standing up and saying how badly a piece of legislation will impact veterans it's doomed.

She didn't used to get as much attention as a House member but now that's she's a Senator ... Oh yeah!

Yeah, you'd've thought they could have put quite a lot of thought and planning into a replacement in that time.
Why haven't they? Is it because basically the bones of the ACA is the best they could come up with and they only opposed it on principle that it was Obama's and can't swallow that, or is it because they are just dumb?
They scuttled their own bill because it doesn't stack up.
