As soon as they have the votes, it's gone

Would they though, and would it matter? If they couldn't get 50 votes for a replacement, are they really going to get 50 for a repeal without a replacement? That was a big thing in the campaign, that you can't just repeal it, that would be madness, you have to replace it with something. Even most Republicans agreed with that. How the hell are they going to get 50 votes now?

It doesn't matter how incompetent they are right now, the NSDAP had a decade plus to go from being a gaggle of idiot nerds to an engine of death, mostly because no one took them seriously at first.

Protecting Access to Care Act,

Holy poo poo this bill

quote:

This bill establishes provisions governing health care lawsuits where coverage for the care was provided or subsidized by the federal government, including through a subsidy or tax benefit. The bill does not preempt certain state laws and federal vaccine injury laws and rules.

The statute of limitations is three years after the injury or one year after the claimant discovers the injury, whichever occurs first. For a minor, the statute of limitations is three years after the injury, except for a minor under six years old, for whom it is three years after the injury, one year after discovery of the injury, or the minor's eighth birthday, whichever occurs later. These limitations are tolled under certain circumstances.

Noneconomic damages are limited to $250,000. Juries may not be informed of this limitation. Parties are liable for the amount of damages directly proportional to their responsibility. These provisions do not preempt state laws that specify a particular monetary amount of damages.

Courts must supervise the payment of damages and may restrict attorney contingency fees. The bill sets limits on contingency fees.

Certain evidence regarding collateral source benefits (e.g., insurance payments) may be introduced in lawsuits involving injury or wrongful death. Providers of collateral source benefits may not recover any amount from the claimant in such a lawsuit. These provisions do not apply if Medicare is a secondary payer or there is third party liability for Medicaid services.

The bill provides for periodic payment of future damage awards.
A health care provider who prescribes, or dispenses pursuant to a prescription, a medical product approved by the Food and Drug Administration may not be a party to a product liability lawsuit or a class action lawsuit regarding the medical product.

gently caress you elementary school kid, you should have sued quicker if you wanted to do anything about that severed spine a drunk doctor gave you. Oh and this is a boon to pill mill operators and med fraudsters everywhere. 250K, lol, that's really gonna help with a lifetime of crippled costs. I had to look at med tort cases once, and that poo poo will haunt you. 200K people die b/c of medical negligence without anyone really noticing.

The filibuster won't die because the republican party only survives because they dont let the dems implement policy

senate republicans don't actually want to vote for an ocare replacement because they know many of them will lose the next election. they want to hide behind the filibuster. trump will never understand this lmfao. his management style is to yell "get it done or I'll find someone who will," he has no other skills lol.
