Fulchrum posted:If that bill fails due to defections though, there's no redo, right? There's no reason to expect a different outcome if the bill is immediately put back up for a second vote, votes are cast based on political calculus and won't change until the surrounding circumstances change. It would be like re-filing a lawsuit you just lost. Although, if any administration would actually try doing that, its this one.

Mokelumne Trekka posted:Goddamn I want this to fail in the Senate so bad. Watching Obamacare survive its challenges has been like watching a baby sea turtle born on the beach make its way to the surf dodging birds of prey and other predators. As lovely and centrist in origin as Obamacare is I do not want to see it die by getting pissed on by a toddler taking a break building a Rand castle. Obamacare is the iguana. The past 48 hours or so happen from 1:20-1:40 haveblue fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Mar 10, 2017 |

Is this the one where they pulled 75 billion out of an rear end and expect the Senate to figure out whose?

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Because Congress, especially Republicans, do not represent the general public. They represent rich people and radicalized whackos and both those groups want this bill or more, either for tax cuts at any cost, or because they're insane. Also because people consistently rate all of Congress as a whole as trash but their personal representative as the good one.

Rad Valtar posted:As someone who only has affordable insurance because of the ACA what are the realistic chances of it surviving? I'm guessing the GOP will just keep drawing up new plans until something gets passed? Much higher than they were an hour ago.

EugeneJ posted:Whether or not Trump would veto a single-payer bill if it got to his desk is another thing. Maybe they can get him on record saying yes or no? Get the bill to his desk, troll him with some dumb scandal in the media that keeps him glued to TV and Twitter for ten days, single payer is law.
