Anything for a win...

1. It would be quite embarrassing if they can't get this through the nutHouse

For all of them.

[Adrahil]

2. The deal includes free memberships at Mara lago.

They are cranking up the bribe machine.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Yeah, I predicted there was no way they would let this chance

to kill a bunch of us pass by, and a chance to destroy Obama's legacy.

I hope their constituents make their lives impossible to live, they should not be able to go outside for a cup of coffee without hundreds screaming obscenities at them and at that, they should consider themselves lucky

ps

expect the same in the Senate, btw

4. what makes the mad dogs happy will make reaonable conservatives dread...they know 2018 is comin

screwing more americans and their families won't help their re-elections at all....it sinks it

5. So the baggers caved, eh?

figures...damn!

[Ms. Toad]

6. No - they're in the driver's seat -

What was being floated around was more in line with what they want - gutting the ACA even more.

[PearliePoo2]

10. Oh MY!!

OK, so the health care bill wasn't draconian enough, eh? Didn't hurt enough people...bootstraps and all that?

[Ms. Toad]

15. You got it.

The compromise they've been working on is to remove the requirement that health insurance cover ER visits, mental health care, prescription drugs, maternity care, etc. That appears to be the only way to get the conservative caucus to vote for it.

8. Nope - Ryan caved

The house will pass it but whatever goodies get added to get the freedom caucus on board is surely going to kill it in the senate.

[PearliePoo2]

11. Gotcha...thanks!

[Cosmocat]

7. The worst public policy legislation

This country has seen ... and the only way to get it out of the house is to make it worse.

This country is so fucked.

9. If they change their bill to satisfy the freedom caucus

It will become even more unacceptable to the moderate republicans who already oppose it. Either way, it will fail.

[yallerdawg]

12. To satisfy the Freedom Caucus...

they kill it in the Senate - and there is a good chance White House changes and promises would move the Senate bill to a 60-vote-cloture which would be impossible to pass!

Deal away, morons! Bankruptcy in your future!

[Wounded Bear]

13. Passing the bill by pleasing the HFC...

will lose them many votes and seats in the "barely Trump" states.

Proceed.

[herding cats]

14. I can't wait to see what they put their names on.

By the time they finish with this atrocity of a bill it could very easily be a career ended for several Republican congress critters!

[LeftInTX]

16. The deal is basically a complete repeal

On my phone...sorry..
Pre-existing - not covered
Essential health benefits - no
