I think they'll tweak the Senate bill to get a couple of the outcasts on board, and then pass it. The House and Senate will then reconcile the differences into a single bill that both sides will pass, and President Trump will sign it into law. Ultimately, they will have to face the music at the ballot box. If the Democratic Party can't figure out how to finally get their voters to the polls for a mid-term, the GOP will get away with passing a bad bill.

I honestly don't think this particular bill has anything to do with solving the problems in our health industry. This bill is simply meant to fulfill a talking point (repealing Obamacare) and to enact a huge tax cut. From a health policy perspective, this bill makes absolutely no sense. Not only does it not solve any problems, in many ways it will make things worse.

I hope the Republicans will have the balls to do what the Dems did not, force their party to come out with a good bill and not just sign anything because the man in the White House says to. Any Republicans with half a brain should realize the last party to pass a bill and make this worse will be the ones voted out of office. As long as Republicans have the ACA failing, Congress is theirs for the taking. Once a Republican bill messes shit up, back into office are the Democrats.

The GOP plan is likely to go down like the Titanic. This editorial by Scott Adams does a much better job at explaining why than I can.

Capt Dwayne Conyers I heard, It's Not Harsh Enough for them. They Make the Unreformed Ebeneezer Scrooge look like a Saint. If it Keep this Nightmare Plan from happening that is a good thing. Seems like there are 3 schools of thought in the Party Harsh, Harsher and OMG! Like a Quote I read on another Forum "If ISIS really wanted to Destroy America, They Would Just have to Donate to the Republican Party"

I watched one GOP member say on the news, “We're not taking away from taxpayers... we're just shrinking the increases that would happen over the years.”

They're not kicking you in the @$$, PO1 William "Chip" Nagel. They're simply exercising their knees what your @$$ just happens to be within the trajectory...
