A vote against AHCA is a vote for Obamacare.

If AHCA goes down in flames, it will represent a yuge win for Obama and the Democrats.

And I have news for all the MUH PRINCIPLES TruCons: if AHCA fails, you now own Obamacare. It will forever after be known as TruConCare. The health policy for guys who love fiscal conservatism so much they became de facto allies to the Democrats.

This is reality, folks.

Why can't republicans just fulfil their campaign promises and and repeal and replace instead of forcing ryancare down our throat?

Republicans had 8 years to create something other than the piece of garbage they put forward.

The fact of the matter is, if Republicans do not pass this bill, there will never be enough political capital to do repeal and replace ever again. Yes, the current bill sucks. But the alternative is to live with Obama care forever. They will not be a second go at this with a more conservative Bill. There will not be a second go with this at all.

Trump (and Ryan) can eat a dick on this one

The bill is a piece of shite and it's not the best they can do.

God this is so fricking pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself for buying into such an obvious bullshite political maneuver.

If Trump was pushing single payer he could make the same dumbshit argument you just made. "Vote for my single payer bill. Its going to change things bigly. What? You don't like it? You must love Obamacare! You're gonna own Obamacare!"

If any true conservative thinks TrumpCare represents what we voted him in to do then they should probably rethink what it means to be a conservative.

No it doesn't, you simpleton. It means if RINOcare fails, then an actual conservative option will be presented.

Passing a piece of shite bill with a bare majority to "do something" is how Obamacare happened.

I think peoples health insurance is more important that political gang banging.

I'm a far lefty but if the GOP rushes a shitty bill it will do more damage to them in the long run.

The fact that they didn't have a bill ready after 8 years of complaining is mind blowing.

Actually, this is a very difficult industry to regulate to the point of being able to predict the outcome. Whatever the Republicans do, they should also be open to continuously adjusting the system to close loop holes and achieve balance.

They don't have to repeal the existing law to do that. They can make the kind of adjustments which will make it viable, such as opening up marketing across state lines, restructuring prescription drug issues, etc.

Trump is flat wrong to require a reckless vote as a loyalty test.
