Hmmmmmmmmm

uh, when the DIMS had complete control of govt, they gave us O B A M A care. We witnessed that attempt at governing, and said, Nope. Not walking into that trap. It destroyed the party that had complete control. So Let it burn to the ground.

And now even DIMS (see tweet above) are screaming, Save us!!

teehee

Don't allow their side to slip back to ACA, as I've noticed them doing lately. Its OBAMAs baby, and when it goes belly up, it needs to be branded as such. Repeal is the only option left And that's what will happen, Thank God

Maybe if you people weren't so obsessed with the failure of Obamacare, you would be able to actually come up with a system that was good for the country.

We are not following you down that path

I neither voted for Obamacare, nor those who voted for it.

I'm saying quit thinking in terms of destroying things, and start thinking in terms of constructing things.

Destroy Obama, destroy Hillary, destroy Obamacare, destroy John Boehner, destroy Paul Ryan...

Jesus, no wonder the Republicans can't govern, their base just wants to destroy shite.

It is not our responsibility to fix it. Not one single (R) vote was cast for O B A M A care. We DID NOT want it. We told you this would happen

It is destroying itself

We are just watching the flames

No, I told you it would happen - and eventually lead to single payer, which is exactly what it looks like will happen. In spite of the change in parties in DC.

Just repeal it

Why keep running after the insurance companies

People can chose NOT to be covered. Its their risk. Same with homeowners, and life. No is forcing you to buy those.

You do realize that if the argument is that Obamacare will be destructive, the fact Republicans didn't just repeal it looks pretty fricking bad, right?

In fact,a reasonable person might think it indicates they don't REALLY believe it will be destructive.

That's incorrect of course, but it's a self inflicted gunshot that they didn't repeal it

Which is where Trump has Ryan. He can repeal or face a challenge to his leadership

Remember its the caucus that got rid of Boehner that beat this thing

Don't tell me, tell your party leadership. Apparently they have 60 bills to repeal it stored away in a filing cabinet, but they are too afraid to pull them back out now that the President may actually sign them.

Actually, they can't. They will be treated - as they should be. We are a civilized nation, not just a gang of cats milling about.

Given that we will not just let people just die in the streets, what's the solution?

It has been pretty funny how many tweets I've seen that say something like "I'm good they're getting rid of Obamacare?, but they need to leave my aca healthcare alone."

Repeal is the only option left huh?
I'm betting Trump introduces a single payer option.

Right, and the solution to that isn't destroying everything, it's coming yup with a plan and having the leadership to put the plan in action.

All that seems to be missing from this current crop of government officials.

Because the only solution left is to take money from people that work hard for it, and give it to people who don't have enough sense to keep from dying in the street

My bet would be that it passes. Something has to be done. Obamacare isn't working, and it's just screwing things up.

A decent analogy would be to look at Obamacare like a car about to run off a cliff. Republicans have the brakes, Democrats have wings, but we're too busy arguing to use either.

I didn't mean to count Alaska as being a part of our civilized nation. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I'll mark you down for letting them die in the streets.
