Ted Cruz Amendment To Repeal Obamacare Fails

... we'll see how nothing it was next year when the Obamacare fit hits the shan juuuust in time for the mid-term elections. Now everyone is on record and you'll see some asses getting fired then.

We will see, but it won't change the reality republicans have failed repeatedly to do anything real except to push us back to the system we already know was failing and killing people.
 
Well one thing for certain is that the promises made will be promises broken.
Which is not to say that they aren't ready with a whole bunch of "yeah buts".
Like for the "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" line they're ready with "Yeah, but your doctor gave up his practice...who knew... not our fault."

Bubba, can't stay, but good to see you, and I see that you're still wishing and hoping for the worst to befall all of us as long as the big-eared guy is prez ... good luck ...

Have you seen the cost estimates of Obamacare ?

What'll happen when healthy folks find out that they'll save money by paying a fine rather than premiums?
And since they can't be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions they just wait until they need something.

Look ... this whole thing was created in order to be a real mess hoping everyone will clamor for single payer.
And it is going to be a real mess.

Obamcare will kill more people than the current system.

Time will tell, you may be right.
 
I can think of several things that are in the middle that are good ... gotta go Pero ... have a good one ...

A big Amen to that my friend. I am glad you made the switch.
 
If it was a complete disaster more senators would have voted for Ted Cruz's amendment.


You're assuming that most of the Senators in WA care about the people

You're assuming that Obamacare is about "affordable health care for all"

Fail

I think Obama Care has become more a matter of party pride, no ownership when it comes to votes in the senate.
