Oh Congresscreep Snowflake, you don’t want any consequences at the midterms! And we all know, once you subsidize something,the subsidy is forever.
Hapless fools/killers.
More evidence that we have been witnessing a six year Congressional tantrum. Sound and fury, signifying nothing in the end.
I hope.
The GOP needs to, among other things, avoid job losses. Estimates I’ve seen run as high as 3 million positions if ACA is axed without a replacement. That would raise the national unemployment rate to about 6.6pct from the current 4.7pct. Just in time for 2018. Ouch!
The subsidies you fought to eliminate while President Blackenstein was in office? The ones you said were fiscally irresponsible and a handout? Those subsidies?
How can we afford even more tax cuts for Swiss Bank Romney and other one-percenters if we continue Obamacare subsidies?

‘Pay for the mistakes of Obama…’ Oh you mean the MISTAKES that were done while YOU mofo’s were in charge of the henhouse? When YOU decided on the sequester and shutting down the government and refused to WORK on doing ANYTHING to help this country? THOSE ‘mistakes’ you little freakin’ putz?
GOP seems to be blinking at times on this. Some of them don’t quite trust that Ryan knows what he’s doing. I’m sure, if these were the old days, Schumer good take Lamar Alexander out to dinner, get him drunk, get him to tell the truth about how crazy Ryan’s approach is, and then cut a deal to screw the bastard while they partied up at a country club.
Hey, here’s an idea…why don’t you guys just quit the bullshit and forget about repealing the ACA?
I’m beginning to think the GOP replacement will be Obamacare with the named changed to TrumpCare and few added bells and whistles.
Shorter GOP: We want tax cuts and ObamaCare simultaneosuly. It worked very well under Bush when we had wars and tax cuts at the same time.
Senators and Representatives, under the Affordable Care Act, in 2013, were enrolled in the gold-level Small Business Health Option (Shop) program on the DC Exchange. With salaries of $174,000, other allowances,
and benefits, they enjoy the lowest rates of any other health care program in the nation. Their subsidies are mandated, income unlimited. Why eliminate ACA subsidies for the 3% uninsured, income limited? Francella Poston
You’re fooling yourself. They’ve boxed themselves in and they have no choice to but hit the gas and drive the car straight over the edge of the cliff, pulling the rest of the country in after them. Because the alternative is to submit to the murderous wrath of the rabble they roused with their six years of nonsense. And, being Republicans, firmly embedded in the post-reality world they’ve created, they almost certainly believe that driving the car over edge is preferable to the certainty of facing down a lynch mob because, after all, gravity is only a theory.
“we don’t want to pull the rug out”…sez he.
yeah…riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
So, I’ve heard.
The Republican plan will cover pre existing conditions, grown children under 26 and ‘cover everybody’.
I suspect the Republicans will turn to the Heritage Foundation and re-institute Obamacare under a different name.
The Ryan Plan (Medicare Savings Accounts, etc) will leave people dying under bridges. This will include working class whites who were Trump’s biggest supporters.
It’s almost hilarious. After calling these subsidies " illegal" , after suing to get them stopped, NOW that they are in charge they want to keep them???
Come on guys you know they have to blame Obama until at least the midterm elections. Unraveling this diabolical Obama plot could take years.
