Are The Repugs Scamming Us On This Healthcare Thing?.....

[global1]

Is the desension that's playing out in the Repug Party over this healthcare bill just a ruse?

Are they just play acting that there are different factions and they are so divided that this bill won't make it and it will crash and burn - either not make it out of the House or if it does it won't pass the Senate?

Then in the last moments of this - it will pass both the House & Senate - to give them a victory and allow Trump to take the bow as a masterful negotiator.

Ryan & McConnell would both take bows as well saying they know how to handle their respective members.

And all along they were just playing us and the media on purpose to think they are divided.

1. Yes, they will make a couple window dressing changes in Senate and pass it

[shraby]

2. They aren't that smart.

[padfun]

3. If they do that

they have to know that the midterms would be in serious jeopardy.

7. To be honest, I will be surprised if we have a democracy by mid-terns.

And elections will no longer exist as in the past.

All will be run by THEM!!! Just like in Russia.

4. Yes

Party over country every time. They will fall into line soon enough.

5. To be honest

Let us hope so...let us also hope that republican45 gets the changes that the extreme conservatives want to shorten the phase out of Medicaid from 2020 to 2018....
What do you think will happen to republican governors, legislatures and US House and Senate reelection prospects when millions of people are thrown off their healthcare in an election year?

At this point, if I didn't know better, I would think they were trying to screw themselves in the 2018 election, passing this trash and speeding up the timeline will all but ensure republicans lose the Senate and maybe even the House.

6. If it were just McCain, Graham, and Collins I would be more concerned about it passing

Enough always flip to get the 50 votes needed (Pence as tie breaker).
It is a really bad bill. The future of the GOP and American citizens will be better off if the bill dies. Of course, then Plan B is to completely cut off all funding for the ACA which could very well lead to its demise anyway. This could be a long fight.

8. Yeah pretty sure we'll get fucked over in the end

Better hope you are lucky enough to afford healthcare, or can escape the country somehow. Good luck to us all.

9. The biggest problem we face as a nation is not health care, or ISIS, or global warming, or racism,

or poverty, or education, or war.... But, what can we do to ease the tax burden on billionaires again?
