Appreciation for the Republicans who didn't sell out.

Every one of the democrats, when Obamacare was passed, voted party line on a bill that was a disaster from the very beginning. They all drank the Koolaid and because of it, lost the majority. They likely only voted for it because it was a democratic proposed bill.

I can at least appreciate that the Republicans didn't line up along party lines and vote for a bill that wasn't as complete as it should have been. This is what the government should look like. Not everyone should agree when something isn't complete and what's best for the American People.

You would think at least one of the democrats would of voted for the bill but once again, they are lending credence to the thoughts that nothing can get done in congress (obstructionist). I often wonder if anyone in opposition to a bill actually spends the time to read it or just because it's proposed by an opposition party, will refuse to vote for it.

I don't blame trump for saying what he said yesterday when he said that the democrats own the failure of Obamacare.

I personally like Rand Paul's proposal for health care. Maybe this is a step in the right direction for Republican's to come together and actually get a bill that is good for all conservatives and once again, not one Democrat will vote for it just because it will be a republican proposed bill.

The Freedom Cuckus gets to keep their congressional health plan, keep their Koch cash, keep their moronic base riled up, and we get to keep Obamacare. SWEET!

I agree that any plan passed by congress should be the plan that congress has to also have. Congress shouldn't be immune from anything they pass for the American people.

I also believe that some form of term limits should be instituted.

So do I

The problem is that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell will never bring such a bill to the floor

Maybe the Freedom Caucus should have thought about that before installing Paul ryan as speaker or Rand Paul thought about that before endorsing McConnell for senator
