What would happen if everyone cancelled their policy? - Why bother giving them any of our hard earned $$$.....I know, preposterous..but that is where I am at...sorry...

DT is clearly out of his depth -- forcing a vote that makes no sense.
Weenie men away!

They can't just throw something together.

(24 posts)I know it sounds evil but why not let it pass. Then the deplorables (and all) will feel the pain and revolt against Trump and the republicans. Since it was blocked all the deplorables will still be screaming about the repeal of Obamacare. I say give them the repeal ASAP so they are totaly F**Ked and they can react for for the midterms and end this nightmare.

(4,642 posts)they worry about the koch brothers, that is who they work for. Plan 2 will be a full repeal plus cuts to Medicare & Medicaid. They are sneaky fascist pigs.

(24 posts)So do we wait for something worse? Lets get it over with in the first 90 day. My concern is more time = more republican compromises including the freedom party thus even worse (or none) health care and more corporate bennys. The sooner the deplorables get F**Ked the better. I am willing to suck it up as long as the bang blow everything up ASAP.

(11,521 posts)Sure, screwing us all would certainly accomplish what you suggest (waking the public up to what repukes are all about). But why should I 'suck it up' by going back to out of control insurance companies and worse just to prove a point?

(9 posts)I think one positive outcome from the repubs failed attempt at repealing ACA...more people understand how ACA works..positives and the negatives of it. Hopefully this helps fixing anything that needs fixed with it too.
