A whole lot of nothing

[edward37]

While House Republicans and President Trump were in the Rose Garden celebrating their health care win, Senate Republicans announced that they wouldn’t be voting on the House bill, but will instead write their own.

The Washington Examiner reported, “Senate Republicans said Thursday they won’t vote on the House-passed bill to repeal and replace Obamacare but will write their own legislation instead.A Senate proposal is now being developed by a 12-member working group. It will attempt to incorporate elements of the House bill, senators said, but will not take up the House bill as a starting point and change it through the amendment process.”

The assumption had long been that Senate Republicans would at least vote on the House bill. Instead, what is going to happen is that the Senate is going to try to pass their own bill with no timeline for passage, and then the House and Senate will need to reconcile their bills into one final bill, which may or may not be able to pass the House and Senate depending on how far to the middle the final bill moves.

Trump’s victory party in the Rose Garden was overblown and premature because Republicans haven’t really accomplished anything. House Republicans passed a bill that could have devastating political consequences for their futures that may never become law.

The House health care bill that Trump was celebrating is already dead.

In its place is who knows what, but the reality is that Trump was celebrating a whole lot of nothing.

ACHA, American Health Care Act, Senate Republicans kill House health care bill, Senate won’t vote on ACHA

not too much is new .. everything Trump does the Conservative Republicans spit on his dick, and send him to the corner with orders to stay out of their way.

Now he can whine about the job is too hard ... sure it is, he's a candyass.

Trump is on his way towards another win!

We couldn't have asked for a better president. This guy is staying focused on accomplishing everything he promised.
That's a win for every law abiding American.

The AHCA now forces the Senate to write its own bill, which will be to the left of the House pubs.

That is a victory for Americans, as we grow ever closer to single payer medicare-style national health care.

 

[Marion Morrison]

I see a veto in the near future.

IMO the whole Senate system needs revamped. They've voted themselves too

many privileges.

He can point to congress and inform on their differences.

And they'll take another crack at it.

Gee....Obama didn't have all kinds of iterations on his bill....including offering huge kickbacks to states to sign on.

How would a single payer work? Are insurance companies going to rollover and disappear? I can't see the Democrats or Republicans stopping the insurance lobby, money runs both the partys. Killing the insurance medical would put millions out of work.

A veto means we continue with AHCA.

You have to figure out how to make a bidding system by the insurers for costs and service both fair and equitable.

 

[Indeependent]

Let's be perfectly clear, the Republicans don't even pretend to give a shit about anyone but their contributors.
Bring jobs back and drop the Health Care nonsense for the time being.

Just like the VA, only with 100% more fail.

somebody has to do the paperwork & filing... they just won't be denying a basic human right to anybody like they have been because the profit motive is gone. they can do the same jobs they have been doing but the big bad gubment will be their boss.

Single payer means the government is the payer, no need for insurance companies anymore. I can't see the rich cutting out a means for them to make money.

You are not dense, so don't pretend to be so.

Competitive bidding for providing services will bring down the cost dramatically and still give private business a healthy profit.
