People are already losing their insurance carrier. And in case you hadn't noticed, Obamacare affects a lot more people negatively than it helps. A LOT.

I think when we have this argument we start by agreeing much of congress Is corrupt. the democrats in whole will sell out their principles and blindly follow the party line. the republicans are about 95 percent there. the only difference you have a handful of repubs who will actually vote on their own principles.
Love how you libs have taken a phrase created to describe libs and made it your own.

complete control would be a super majority like the dems had in 2008
Yeah that's true. But the only thing keeping Repubs from getting things passed is a herd of RINO's.

I would respectfully disagree. McCain and graham yes. Collins is really a democrat pretending to be a repub. the Alaska senator may be another Collins. Paul a libertarian who will follow the repub line when it benefits his libertarian objectives.
the house has a freedom caucus but otherwise is more on the same page.
It will be fine

Nope, just plain wrong on the facts, Van. Millions covered under Medicaid expansion aren't hurt. Millions getting subsidies to help buy insurance aren't hurt. There is a slim number of middle class families that make too much for subsidies and are paying full fare that one can argue are hurt by the law. I'm in that category and I feel much more financially secure after the ACA because before it health insurance was a nightmare.
And it was RINO's who kept it from passing.

you're the guy on the Titanic who claims things are good because the top deck is still dry
It's because of the ACA that many millions more are getting slammed on deductibles on employee coverage. And it's taxes that cover those subsidies. The ACA was supposed to be revenue neutral but it hasn't been. And insurers are dropping out right and left. And were jacking up rates to cover losses before Trump got into office. And were still dropping out because it's not workable. But still worth it to you because the whole thing is a rigged casino to get us to single payer. And the Repubs are walking right into the Dems trap by not abolishing it. Dems most likely will get back into power because of the Repubs lack of backbone and an erratic President. And for all I know this whole thing is a dog and pony show by both parties to take us down a certain path because the guys pulling the strings want it that way.

sounds like you're in agreement with Trump on this one. Nothing to see here , ACA is doing fine. leave it alone.
I bet AZ wished they had voted for someone else.

they will. hopefully they'll get a real republican to replace him soon
Didn't he get re-elected in 2016? Probably will be dead or retired before next election.

prognosis for him to last more then a year is not good
So he's going out with a bang.

he's been an ass. I don't feel sorry for him. he was a turncoat in Hanoi Hilton which I can forgive him for due to the torture involved. but then he became a turncoat in congress
It was to get to conference with the House so that they could hammer out the details. Everything has to reconciled. And you're the party of "we must pass it so that we can find out what's in it" so don't act so righteous.
