Dead again, Obamacare repeal
|
Dead again, Obamacare repeal The Senate is becoming the burial ground for Obamacare repeal. Yeah! President Donald Trump called on congressional Republicans to craft an outright repeal of Obamacare late Monday, an hour after the GOP’s controversial Senate health care bill appeared dead once again after losing two more Republican votes. “Republicans should just REPEAL failing Obamacare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate,” the president tweeted, adding that “Dems will join in!” The “clean repeal” option is unpopular in both parties, and it’s unclear how much support the president’s proposal will garner in Congress. It would take 60 votes in the Senate for an outright repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and Republicans only hold a 52-seat majority. Trump’s response came after Sens. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) announced Monday evening that they planned to vote no on a “motion to proceed” for the Senate’s legislation ― a step needed to begin debate on the bill. “There are serious problems with Obamacare, and my goal remains what it has been for a long time: to repeal and replace it,” Moran said in a statement announcing the decision. “We should not put our stamp of approval on bad policy.” The pair join Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), both said they wouldn’t vote for the bill in its current form on Thursday. A handful of other Republicans have also expressed “serious concerns” about the bill. Trump said on Tuesday that the dissenting Republicans― along with Democrats― “let down” their fellow lawmakers. The move likely deals a crippling blow to the GOP’s effort to repeal Obamacare as the Senate can lose no more than two Republican votes on the bill and pass it. |

I hope he has to eventually admit that he had no plan in place, and neither did the majority of Congress. kk The observant make the best lovers, I may not do right, but I do write, I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life, Kitkat Come check out my blog KItkat1415 check out this post by me Adventures In Body Grooming #39 April Topic Link: What Lies Beneath If April Showers Oh Bloody Hell What Kind Of Weather Turns Me On Bloggers Symposium 40

The skinny repeal is dead too. Sad when John McCain is the hero for the Democrats with Murkowski and Collins of Main.
