I'm sick of all these lying fricks talk about the past! Do it again! You all beat your chests and talk how "we all voted to repeal it several times". Do it today you lying sacks of shite.

Rant over....can someone explain why they won't do that again?

Edit....I'm talking about them going on their own and voting to repeal it and have that placed on trumps desk.
Did the freedom caucus vote yes on those repeal votes in the past? Make them show their colors.

Cause they've had 7 years to come up with a replacement and obviously aren't even close....

Because the truth is, conservatives don't think the government should be involved in healthcare. Look at the debacle that is obamacare.

THey voted 60 times to repeal it when they knew there was no chance it would be signed into law.

Now that it's put up or shut up time, we see what we got. Personally, I'm not for repealing O'care without a sustainable replacement. It's obvious that R's had no plan to do this and got caught with their pants down.

Trump's core supporters didn't want this bill and enough of Congress listened that it died in committee.

Although a slight setback because it delays Trump's promise to repeal SaetoroCare, it's a long game win because now we'll get a better bill.

To all the gloaters, enjoy this slight win but SaetoroCare is going down in flames. Either in a repeal or the continued collapse in on itself from it's designed flaws.

So vote for the 61st time to repeal it......REPEAL is the word I think you missed.

Government should not be involved in the healthcare business. It's not their job to make sure you have it. Should be your job. It's the governments job to stay out of the way of insurance companies to compete for the lowest price with the highest quality insurance plan.

You're thinking like a big government dimocrat/GOPe cuck.
Pure repeal of Obamacare = replacement by state control.
Federal replacement will always = Obamacare Lite!

I'm just trying to figure out why guys like ryan Paul go on Hannity (or wherever) and flap their gums. Why doesn't Hannity just ask why they won't vote to repeal it again (worded exactly like prior) and set it on trump's desk?

They should just pass a repeal effective at the end of the year and then they HAVE TO come up with a fix.

Because they know that doing so would substantively harm their constituents, and they don't want to lose their job just to make a few ignorant people happy.

Well as mentioned they knew it wouldn't be repealed so why spend time making a replacement?

Almost all the people in the political machine thought Hilary was going to be the next president. So why bother spending time on making a replacement?

Only good answer is to do a repeal in full. Next best would be to put Japan's system in place.
