There may well come a time when with credible actionable proof of treason by congress, judges, department heads, embedded personnel at all levels of government are arrested by the military with tribunals and executions as the only means to save the Republic from direct collapse and occupation by foreign agents and their governments.

He won't. This was always going to happen because it would be a big negative impact on midterms. This was an orchestrated splitting of ranks.

No. It isn’t. Because the giveaways to the insurance company only continue to drive up the cost of insurance.

This leads to more companies ditching their healthcare benefit plans and sending their employees to the “marketplace.”

So, the record enrollment of 23M will become 40M. And the required subsidies will double.

Come up with a better plan. I agree those GOPers are in fact Dems, but once again, with the majority, they’ve done nothing.

Anyone relying on taxpayers for healthcare, housing, food should lose their vote until such time as they are self reliant. Continuing to let parasites vote themselves more free shite is beyond stupid.

Yeah that sounds tough. I’m hopeful technology will improve so much it’ll drive down costs tremendously.

But “viable” (by anyone’s definition) or not we’re going to keep doing it anyway because republicans are totally unserious about addressing the problem.

GOP never wanted to get rid of Obamacare.

And they didn’t rebel: These 17 were told to vote with the Dems.
I'm guessing so.

How many of those 17 aren't up for re-election?

They are just running out the clock and hope the Marxocrats give enough of them cover to impeach Trump.

Factually incorrect


In Trump’s 1st term when they controlled everything the GOP wouldn’t repeal it.

This was after years of voting to repeal it during Obama knowing he would veto their bills.

This pisses me off. Subsidies just mask the problem and inflate prices more which require additional extensions and increases. Doing this just becomes a never ending cycle of more govt to fix the problems caused by the govt.

If they don't give it away, a percentage of it can't come back to their pockets.

Can't bring it in if they don't send it out!

Nothing is inventively better than Obamacare. 15 years of chipping away at it, removing the mandate, removing the tax credits, limiting it til it fades away. That was a significantly better plan than fighting it all at once.

Getting rid of Obamacare would instantly improve the healthcare system.

Even after Obama swore premiums weren’t gonna go up prices weren’t gonna go up. You can still use whatever doctor or hospital you want and the cost would be much less. Being out of the loop for years is this what happened?

There’s a reason millions of people in red states are enrolled.

The same reasons that millions in blue states are enrolled...

no full-time job that provides benefits and they make to much for the medical card but to little to pay for real insurance.

Meanwhile, the hard working people out there are getting screwed on their medical costs to pay for it.

My insurance jumped 60% this year...frick Obamacare.

Health insurance is the biggest ripoff of all insurances. Major medical should be the only premium offered and all else is out of pocket.
