Of course it failed. Trump should have had a bipartisan team pushing this. Having only Republicans pushing it was a fail from the jump, and a colossal waste of time.
Now it's a waiting game...Obamacare is going to implode. Not a matter of "if"...but "when".
Then there will be nothing. What happens then?

Well, that's what they want, Trump & Co. They want Obamacare to fail so they can all cheer. They don't give is sh!t how that will impact American families.

Why, as that great leader Nancy Pelosi once smugly said,(loosely interpreted on my part), something like 'We'll just have to watch it first in order to see what happens'

Can't have a "Bi-partisan team" when they don't want to help fix it, and only have energy for "resistance"

If they don't want to do anything, vote them out..
Looks like more wealthy business men should run for Congress and the Senate.

When all else fails, go after those that voted against the #### bill(s).

Early Wednesday, Trump took to Twitter to express displeasure with Murkowski's vote. By that afternoon, each of Alaska's two Republican senators had received a phone call from Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke letting them know the vote had put Alaska's future with the administration in jeopardy.

Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan said the call from Zinke heralded a "troubling message."



"I'm not going to go into the details, but I fear that the strong economic growth, pro-energy, pro-mining, pro-jobs and personnel from Alaska who are part of those policies are going to stop," Sullivan said.

"I tried to push back on behalf of all Alaskans. … We're facing some difficult times and there's a lot of enthusiasm for the policies that Secretary Zinke and the president have been talking about with regard to our economy. But the message was pretty clear," Sullivan said. The Interior secretary also contacted Murkowski, he said.

No politician, left or right, gives a sh*t, since they're exempt from oBUMacare. DEMS forced it down our throats 7 years ago with all their sugar-coated lies and promises. Now, insurance companies like Aetna and Humana, who've lost a crap ton of $$$ are pulling out, or have pulled out completely.

So who put Obamacare in place?..and shouldn't they have known it would fail so quickly and so spectacularly?

And that's Trumps problem..how, exactly?

It pisses me the hell off. Ovomit & Co. created it, FORCED it on the American ppl, and now libprogbots are screeching about Trump's efforts to find a way out. They need to focus their energy on holding their respective representatives accountable, or STFU.

The military has had socialized medical care forever, and most of us here know how wonderful that's NOT been. Your basic care (coughs, colds, etc) treatment if you're enlisted compared to if you're an officer? It's F*ing ridiculous.

Is that what you really think? Because I'm willing to walk you down the logic path if you want.

That explains all the scrambling to get rid of the ACA over the last several weeks. They must have done that in order NOT to pass a replacement bill.

No politician does. They and their families got the Platinum Plan - why would they give a flying #### about the pissants who have to live under their thumbs.

Actually, members of Congress and staffers are on Obamacare. There are a few exceptions but then they loose the employer subbsidy. The vast majority of Congressional members and staffers get their insurance through the DC Health Link’s “Gold Tier”. Which is DC’s Obamacare Exchange. If a member or staffer purchases insurance elsewhere, they forgo the 75% employer subsidy which is based on a weighted average of the Federal Employee's Helth Benifits (FEHB) plan premiums. Some members choose to buy insurance through their home state’s Obamacare Exchange or their state’s federal Obamacare exchange but, in these cases, they don’t get the employer subsidy.

Yes, based on what's actually been occurring. We can have all the logic paths we want but it doesn't matter with the current "leadership" on both ends of PA Ave.

Why is is really incumbent on the GOP to fix a mess that was 100% created by the Dems? Especially given that the Dems have offered zero assistance in crating any "fix".

Let it finish crashing and burning...owned by the Dems from beginning to end.

Must be great to have someone else paying for 75% of the best insurance coverage that money can buy, eh?
