Looks like new health care bill will pass in the House tomorrow.  Probably?  They say they have the votes but who the hell knows....

Not really worried much

TrumpCareDestroyal has considerably less than zero chance of gaining Senate approval

Just like the other 92 times the last 7 years that the House controlled by the American Nazi Party passed repeal of the ACA

I think it's a fantastic idea. The sooner Obamacare gets repealed, the sooner Trump supporters start dying. Get this excrement on the road and let's get the 2018 midterm campaigns rolling.

Jokes aside (and the fact that a lot of innocent people will probably die in the meantime) I think the best possible thing for the US is for the ACA to be repealed. It will shine a spotlight on just how little the GOP think of their constituents.

It's amazing to me that people on the right still support this group of sociopaths who 1) have been admitting for the last 24 hours that they haven't even read the bill they're planning to push through and 2) built in protections that exempt them from suffering the losses introduced by the bill.

I wish we could just have a normal healthcare system like the rest of the civilized world. Will it ever happen? I don't know

[AlioTheFool]

A Republican Congressman from Maine is flying home due to a family medical emergency. But he's doing everything in his power to get back in time to cast his vote.

You can't make this excrement up.

The wealthy, and maybe Bruce Willis from Unbreakable, will love this bill.

Republicans are cruel motherfuckers.

The irony is that the people they trotted out to say how bad the ACA was for them, would be dead under this bill.

The Republicans took an already shitty bill in the ACA and thought to themselves "how can we take this and make it even worse." I wasn't sure it was possible, but congratulations to them

They must have the votes to pass this thing, because I can't imagine the egg on all of their faces if it fails again.

The thing about it is I think they have the votes in the House to pass it, but they know it won't get through the Senate.

They're passing a bill that they know is terrible for Americans because they know it won't ever become law, but in the Senate they can point the blame for its failure at Democrats and say "See? No matter what we do, they've become the 'Party of No' now."

Either they're coldly calculating and manipulating their constituency, or they really do believe in what they're doing and are just truly oligarchic sociopaths. I honestly don't know which is true.

I wasn't actually joking, at all. The only thing that might make people wake up to their idiocy is when their loved ones start dying because the people they voted into power make their lives appreciably worse. Granted, they'll probably continue to gobble up the GOP excuses as to why it's the Clinton family's fault that their healthcare options suddenly got way, way shittier.

I was thinking the same thing.  Paul Ryan doesn't give a excrement if Trump and Turtle look bad.  At this point he knows that his job could be on the line in 2018.  If he shows he has the muscle to push this excrement out of the house, knowing full well that it is a horrific piece of legislation that will never pass the senate, he still gets a gold star.

So essentially it is the same useless drivel and  waste of time and taxpayer money that the House controlled by the American Nazi Tea Party rammed through around 82 times in the past 7 years only to die in the US Senate where sanity still prevails
