    Love how Joe Kennedy III slammed Paul Ryan for his bs plan.

    Just found out he has the same birthday and year of birth as me which is nice. Surreal that someone my age is considered for 2020.

    Yeah he could be someone to keep an eye on ..

    So let's assume this bill passes the house tonight. I figure it has to otherwise they wouldn't be pushing this vote so hard. What then? It's not going to pass the Senate as is, so how does it get changed at that point?

    Doesn't sound like they have the numbers, so they are going to delay the vote until Friday or next week: http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/325459-gop-lawmakers-say-vote-unlikely-on-thursday

    A new poll shows only 17% approve of the Obamacare repeal, and 56% disapprove. That is probably causing some GOP holdouts from supporting it. http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/325448-poll-majority-of-voters-disapprove-of-gop-obamacare-repeal-plan

    Alright yeah, so no vote today and it looks like it's getting harder and harder to see.

    That said, what does happen if this were to get out of the house? I still don't understand. Can it be re-written without going back to the house because it's not passing the Senate?

    The senate could pass a similar, modified bill and then it would go to reconciliation committee to have the differences hammered out. Then it would go back to both houses for a vote and presumably pass and go to the president for signature. Unless political pressure kills it in one of the houses or the differences cant be ironed out in committee (I think as its been a long time since I watched conjunction junction and bill into a law on Saturday morning).

    This makes sense. I got it.

    Freedom Caucus seems to think it will get done.

    Here's a photo of the GOP discussing the ACA. Including ending abortion coverage, Planned Parenthood funding, maternity and contraceptive coverage, and the gender rating

    I can't quite put my finger on it, but something seems to be missing from this discussion....

    Trump? Buckets of KFC?
    Based on Jimmy Kimmel's coverage of Trump in meetings it isn't hard to see why they didn't want him sitting at the big boy table:

    "Medicaid expansions were associated with a decline of 6.1 percent in deaths, or about 2,840 per year for every 500,000 adults added."

    24+ million people would lose health insurance with Trump/Ryan Care. The White House's estimate is actually higher.

    That comes to more than 100,000 avoidable deaths EVERY YEAR because these aholes want to give more tax breaks to the rich, and give more money to insurance companies.

    Appreciate it bro.

    With anthem being the only one left in the market and predicting and 65% increase in the coming year, even us "well off" are gonna be priced out. I'm already payin an amount akin to a Lexus GS F lease so I can help subsidize the heath care of two 400 pounders who smoke 2 packs of 'Ports per day and whom eat 5 times a week at Mickey D;'s.
