    It appears we have some responsible politicians here not voting strictly on partisan lines just to get something passed. Just to say they "won". I hardly consider this responsible way of voting for something a failure.

    If that were true, Obamacare was a failure from the start.

    How out of touch you are. The entire process was done in secret without any Dem input. The problem was a secret process that didn't address even the breadth of Republican thinking, such as it is.

    The fail is a failure within your party, not a reaching across ideological aisles.

    That said a trillion dollar tax cut for mass death failing is a good day for good people.

    Obviously that is not true. At all. Otherwise insurers would not be bailing out left and right. How many government programs do you know of where anyone would bail out?

    Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare
    A lot of people have "fake views" on Obamacare — and/or the Affordable Care Act.
    More than one out of every three Americans incorrectly believes that Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are different laws, or say they don't know whether they're the same or different, a new poll finds.
    The Morning Consult survey comes as Republicans in Congress and President Donald Trump are pushing to repeal the ACA — which is in fact the same thing as Obamacare.

    Seventeen percent of respondents to the poll said they believed the ACA and Obamacare were different things.
    Another 18 percent didn't know if they were different.
    "This confusion was most pronounced among people 18 to 29 and those who earn less than $50,000 — two groups that could be significantly affected by repeal," Morning Consult co-founder Kyle Dropp and Dartmouth College professor Brendan Nyhan wrote in a New York Times column summarizing the results

    You should look in a mirror. Partisanship has clouded your judgement so bad you cannot see straight nor think clearly. Facts are facts and folks like you just ignore them. Put your fingers in your ears and sing to yourself when the truth is told. Grow up.

    They may pass something that alters Obama care a little bit, but we are never going back to where we were before Obama permanently changed the face of American healthcare for the better.
