    Barking bitches caught the car and now have no idea what to do with it. Who knew governing could be so much more complicated than incessant demagoguery?

    Actually it just shows massive entitlements once given are difficult to take away. Unfortunately this is world many want, total reliance on government

    Isn't that the truth? That's why I say the repubs are pussies. Just do it.

    They know they'll get voted out of office if they do. Most of the people who will lose coverage aren't losing private coverage they're losing Medicaid. Once you get "free" care you don't want to give that up.

    Possible but next time Lisa Murkowski comes up for reelection I will not vote for her. I will vote for the Tea Party guy (Joe Miller) who perpetually runs against her and who I always despised. But I've finally had enough of Lisa. Many people I've talked to say the same thing.
    Kind of the same storm that has brewed for a long time which got Trump elected.
    I know Joe Miller would vote on principle and not be concerned with job security. And I like that.

    But what's Trumps position here? On one hand he says repeal and replace and on the other hand he says everyone should have great care. And the tea party and Trump are pretty diametrically opposed

    Turtle boy couldn't unite his party. The bill as it is is too kind for Paul and Cruz and too mean for Collins and the moderates.
    If he makes it meaner he loses more moderates from purple states. If he makes it kinder Paul, Cruz and the hardcore want no part of something that leaves any of Obamacare in place. A majority can't agree.
    All that is left to do is repair Obamacare with the Democratic senators and the moderates on the GOP side to form a coalition majority that gives America what it really wants...
    Turtle boy will never do that... He is cold blooded.
    He will pull himself into his shell and die before doing something bipartisan.

    Lisa hopefully votes how the majority of her constituents want her to vote.

    If medicine was not for profit, there wouldn't be this problem.

    If we were able to obtain the same insurance as our Congress, there would not be this problem.

    If medicine were not for profit who would spend billions finding new life saving/altering drugs?
