Well, pretty soon, the collective will vote in "socialized medicine", or "single payer healthcare", and then we all can enjoy endless lines, paperwork, and lack of choices.

We did a tour of the Capitol today. While observing all the people scurrying to and fro it occurred to me: Of all the interns in DC, why Monica????

There are some absolute foxes out here.

"Keep that cigar fresh for me darling...My humidor is broke..."

Haven't heard that term used in years.

scurrying, or foxes?

I think the scurrying lead to the word fox popping up. I have often been complimented on my diction.

Two more Senate Republicans oppose health-care bill, leaving it without enough votes to pass




Repeal, Repeal, Repeal

Another person committed suicide shortly before testifying against the Clintons.

It's hard to find a woman that can open her mouth and still keep a secret.

Impeccable diction it is.

So the GOP healthcare bill appears to be dying. So what's next when it comes to Healthcare? How does this one play out? Any idea who takes the blame when Obamacare dies? The Republicans who can't govern even though the are in charge of all three branches of government or the Democrats who gave away the entitlement to begin with?


More importantly will the Democrats and Republicans be forced to work together to come up with a plan. Could a feasible and workable plan actually be a result of all this crap?

 

[jbombelli]

Just like the Democrats with the Patriot Act, I don't think the Republicans actually want to eliminate the ACA. Sure, they railed against it for years, but when the time came, what happened?

 

[Dddrees]

Well, do you really think the Republicans have enough b***s to repeal Obamacare seeing how they had no real good plan when it comes to replacing it initially.

In other words we can't get our s*** together enough to come up with a replacement so we're going to take it away anyway just too show you how screwed up we are.

I don't want a replacement. Repeal it and then pass smaller bills that address issues. They need to stop trying to make one bill that does everything.

 

[jbombelli]

Moot point because I don't think they actually want to repeal it. Trump maybe does, but the party doesn't.

It screwed up my insurance, so I'll be happy to be wrong, but the cynical side of me says I'm not.

They really have lost their will since taking beatings over things like getting blamed for starving kids over school lunches and killing grandma when they "shut down" the government over budget issues over the years. They act as though they can't do what the voters put them in office for unless they have the support of the media, Sunday morning talk shows, and certain democrats. They don't have the chutzpah to just do it, like the democrats do time after time.

You really think the Republicans are even capable of agreeing on the smaller points? Seems to me the Republicans are to diverse at this point to agree on anything. By anything, I mean not only the principles of how they want to address healthcare but things like tax reform and our infrastructure as well.

 

[eldirector]

I'm also of the opinion that they don't actually WANT to repeal anything. Makes a convenient windmill to tilt at. The GOP doesn't have to actually do anything of note, as long as they TRY. Besides, if the War on Health gets bad enough (like the wars on drugs, poverty, and women) they can propose another few billion $$$ in fixes to line their pockets.
