McCain cost GOP the house

Defeated GOP congressman blames McCain's Obamacare vote for Democrats' House takeover

He's right. Absolutely right. McCain along with RINO scum Murkowski and Collins helped democrats win the house by handing them a gift on a silver platter! 1 of those 3 is thankfully gone and thankfully we will have at least 53 seats in the senate so their little hissy fits won't hold up things we need to pass....they are useless now they can't stop jack!

A dead senator terrifies the deplorable trumpanzees. It's true.

 

[Preacher]

RINO Romney is going to pick up right where RINO McCain left off...

Ugh forgot about him....good thing is we should end up with 53 seats in the senate so we lose the 3 RINO'S doesn't matter VP Pence can be tiebreaker.

You understand nothing goes to the White House to become law without passing in the House, don't you?

At the time house had already passed it. Senate was much closer.

That’s a pussy excuse. Republicans ran on repeal and replace and when they had the chance all they could do is repeal. They didn’t have a better plan to replace Obamacare and they were called on it. Place the responsibility where it belongs, with Republican leadership

McCain cost us the repeal and replace....blame lies on him. Course he was a secret democrat the entire time so.

Yeah, I’ve heard that narrative and disagree. He just wasn’t a party puppet. Major initiatives like healthcare should be worked on in a bipartisan fashion and promises made during campaigns should be followed through with. It wasn’t right what Obama did with the ACA, you all bring it up all the time... so don’t be a hypocrite and do the same thing. It’s time to get our government back on track and stop perpetuating the war of two parties.

Agree it SHOULD be a bipartisan thing but democrats won't budge off of Obamacare so its a nonstarter.

Why do they need to budge off Obamacare? Just make it better. The big sticking points were the mandate and covering preexisting conditions. Reps are all saying they now want to cover preexisting conditions and the mandate is now gone. So why not stop with the posturing over who gets to slap their name on it and just make it better? They can work together to lower costs and increase competition... so do it already!

Its costing people way to much....my brother goes without insurance rather than pay the high costs of Obamacare. Government run healthcare is slower,more regulated and costs more.

Because the Republicans made it their Holy Grail to kill Obamacare, even though its popularity would go up by 20-30 points if you called it ACA instead of Obamacare.

God Bless you Senator McCain.

Remember he was the GOP candidate for President in 2008. They liked him fine then.

Situational ethics is the stock and trade of Conservatives. Could you imagine the hue and cry if Obama had cancelled due to a little rain?

Obamacare isn’t government run healthcare. It is an exchange that offers private insurance at subsidized rates and sets regulations for essential standards of coverage. People still get care from private doctors and hospitals, not government run care facilities.

So, if God forbid, something happens to your brother and he needs medical care he can not afford, the rest of us will be paying his medical costs. If he gets the flu and ends up in ICU for a week or two he will need about $150,000. Since he does not have insurance, he probably will not seek attention as the illness begins to develop. Like most men without insurance, he will be a tough guy and allow the illness to develop to the stage of needing emergency care and ICU.

McCain was right. Republicans had no replace. Just pass it off to the states and let them kill it. Pit people with pre-existing conditions against older people against poor people.

No they didn't. They were actually doing what most Americans wanted them to do.

Heath care was the most important thing to Americans this election cycle. They showed that they want Obamacare to stay and for it to be fixed instead of destroyed.

You didn't see a lot of republican politicians try to lie to their constituents saying they didn't try to repeal preexisting conditions protections? Even trump tried to pass off that lie. He went even farther to say that democrats would take protections for preexisting conditions away while republicans will preserve it. Which all those lies didn't help the liars. Most of them, lost the election.

Keep believing those rationalizations that are nothing but lies. It will help to cause the republicans to lose in the next election. Again.

This time the senate will have many more republicans up for reelection than democrats and many of them in states where many republicans lost their election this cycle.

So please keep believing that Americans want Obamacare destroyed. All it does is help republicans lose elections.

The best thing for our nation is for more conservatives to be kicked out of our government.

This is sour grapes. The reason why Republicans lost the House is the Freedom Caucus pushed the party too far to the right. They refused to compromise and nothing got done. They are the biggest losers. The other Republicans should try to work on compromises. To hell with the Freedom caucus.

There should be a special wing in the capital building where we can put the freedom caucus and the socialists. Preferably sound proof. And then the remaining adults (hopefully) can get actual work done.

The Republicans did not set a very good example. When Obamacare was going through Congress, Obama reached out to Republicans but only Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe were willing to talk. Great pressure from Republicans led them to quite talking. In 2016, Republicans made it clear they wanted only Republican votes. Angus King and Joe Manchin who were former Governors tried to talk compromise on healthcare but REPUBLICANS refused.

 

[Richard-H]

The last Republican congress proved that all they care about is winning elections and taking power. Once they got power they didn't have the slightest idea of what to do with it - except cutting taxes for the wealthy.

So they did nothing but kiss Trump's butt hoping that he knew what to do - and he sure as hell doesn't have a clue!

Government came up with it and controls it...it favors certain healthcare companies over others...its raised prices to EXTREME prices. Get government out of healthcare except for those that truly need the help and open up buying healthcare across state lines.

Guess government should have stayed out of it then. He works full time but he can't afford the costs of insurance and makes to much to get subsidized.

Hehe...Freedom Caucus is going to expand by 5 new members and majority of those who lost last Tuesday were cuckservatives aka FAKE republican moderates...NOT real republicans. They won.

Defeated Representative Jason Lewis is wrong wrong, wrong and so is the OP.
The bill that McCain gave the thumbs down to, was extremely unpopular with a huge majority of Americans. If the Senate bill had passed, the midterm election might of been even a bigger bloodbath that might have spread to the Senate races.
======================================
Despite its new name and some tweaks, American voters disapprove 58 - 16 percent of the Republican health care plan to replace Obamacare, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.
Disapproval of various versions of the Republican health care plan ranges from 56 - 21 percent to 62 - 17 percent in surveys by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University conducted since March. On March 24, the House of Representatives cancelled a vote on its first health care bill after a Quinnipiac University poll showed voters disapproved 56 - 17 percent.
QU Poll Release Detail
And it wasn't just the public.

The nation's largest group of doctors opposes the Graham-Cassidy bill to repeal and replace much of Obamacare.
Other groups of patients, providers and senior Americans also are against the bill.
American Medical Association opposes Obamacare repeal, citing coverage losses by millions

In other words, the GOP bills sucked for almost everyone'
The GOP is/was totally out of step with America on healthcare.
