    The bill was shoved down our throat

    Is what I heard a lot of idiots say when I remember a lot of debating going on for ACA


    Now those same fools that said that are planning to vote on a secret healthcare bill that was never in a committee and has absolutely no public debate


    You can't make up the brazen hypocrisy the Republican Party is at times.

    Even frank underwood would be impressed by these types

    As is this one.

    When you let your government be run by corruption, it will only keep getting worse.

    Weird that it upsets you now

    ACA had:

    -Health Comm markup for 60 hrs & 13 days

    -Finance Comm for 8 days, considered +130 amendments

    -Full Senate debated for 25 days

    Senate GOP will allow just 10 HOURS to debate their bill to repeal Obamacare

    That's 0.0016 seconds for each person who will lose coverage

    The GOP appears to be in a lose/lose situation with healthcare. As bad as this bill may be, they feel they have to pass something to prove that they can.

    And the Koch brothers will benefit, as if they need a tax break.

    Well couldn't you say the same thing about Obamacare? Was literally anybody happy with that one? The problem was during the negotiations neither side would give an inch on anything important so the bill they wound up with sucked to just about everybody (in varying degrees). This legislation will no doubt do the same but the Repubs are waiting till they get enough hardcores and semi-hardcores to promise to vote for this POS bill so they can move on to tax reform, and by reform I mean destruction of. Then when the majority of their voters finally figure out that when they were talking about all the lazy takers and how they needed to be removed from the system they were really talking about THEM, not their neighbors it'll be too late and the Repubs can then move on to phase 2 of their plan, getting rid of the embarrassment who gave them what they wanted and replace him with someone more socially palatable for their perceived level of morality and class.

    Anyone who tries to defend this is blind beyond belief. I guess it's a good thing they'll drop the mandate because my family won't be able to afford this.

    thankfully it hurts the middle class the most so at least the ****s that are for this regime will get hurt the most i guess

    sucks for the middle class that didn't vote for their own interest though

    1. What specifically do you not like?

    2. Doesn't look like it is going to pass... the liberty candidates (Rand Paul, et al) are saying no
