    Once again, I don't care what you think.

    Illegal aliens are a reason that Obamacare will, can, and should be replaced.

    If you don't like it, I don't give a damn. Pretend to give me some points or something if it makes you feel better.

    After over 50 meaningless show votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Republicans now confront stark reality, and their toadies are shocked, shocked! to find that their incessant bellywhinging is not a solution.

    "Immediate" may now be their "alternative" temporal reference for mañana, but their contriving to keep their scheme classified information is amusing.

    With nothing better to do, maybe Beauregard could earn his keep by dragging himself away from his bowl of borscht long enough to impanel an investigation to uncover what the GOP's covert plan is.

    Their legislation that will impact hundreds of millions of Americans is a secret more closely guarded than even Trump's tax returns that he has promised to release.

    That deserves its own thread, not that I mind it here.

    I shall take your advice. The furtive, covert machinations regarding replacing the ACA is a disparate matter from whether they are capable of it.

    So I don't know anything about AtsamattU's politics, but as a moderate, I believe Boehner is a cry baby, but also is likely right on this topic. It doesn't make us BFF.

    It continues to confound me why so many people have to read the talking points memo from their team's leadership before they can state their opinion on the topic.

    The 60% of you (30~ish left & 30~ish right) are so married to your ideology, you've lost the ability to see anything other than "they are always wrong and we are always right." It's ridiculous. On behalf of the other 40% of the country.... I'll tell you that you look ridiculous.

    And remember, while partisan hacks make up 60% of the country, at least 70% of the country thinks your version of politics is insane.

    Cheers.

    But his fingerprints are on file with the National Database of Insured Persons. A quick search by admitting will show his insurance coverage, or lack thereof.


    Why not just reduce their payments by 1/2?

    Good luck with that - Repubs HATE the mandate.

    I don't respond to inline quotes. The method dishonestly takes quotes out of context.

    Instead of unconstitutional mandates, ecco's Law: Not insured - No Cash - No Treatment.

    A few dozen tweeted pictures of uninsured Twenty-something car crash victims laying out in front of a hospital bleeding badly would probably get many deadbeats to sign up. Film at 11.

    Even if something gets through the House, if it is too controversial it will die in the Senate.

    Who pays when people, born and bred Americans or illegal aliens, need health care? People like me who pay for insurance.

    Trump, according to The New York Times, demanded a vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act
    "probably some time next week,"
    and said
    "the replace will be very quickly or simultaneously, very shortly thereafter."

    "Nobody knew health care could be so complicated!"


    Well, simpletons naïve enough to have actually believed your bs hype didn't, and they could not all be Trump® U alumni.

    The Democrats are smart to step back and watch the Republicans chew on themselves

    Yeah they were smart enough to get themselves voted out of office pretty spectacularly.
