House GOP reveals AHCA: Update - Repeal of ACA IS BACK ON

‘The closer’? The inside story of how Trump tried — and failed — to make a deal on health care


Long read but full of quotables

He cajoled and charmed uncertain members, offering flattery and attention to some and admonishment and the vague threat of political retribution to others. He invited members to the White House for bowling sessions, gave others rides on Air Force One (complete with lasagna) and grinned for pictures in the Oval Office, where he reminded lawmakers of his margins of victory in their districts.

But legislating, it turned out, was different from cutting deals to splash his name across skyscrapers.

What a glorious day. This utter failure was even better than I had hoped.

Universal health care is the only option from here for anybody who truly wants to improve the law and health care in this country. If Republicans weren't demonic pieces of filth, they would realize this and capitalize on it. Instead, they want to see people suffering and claim that's how people get "options" in this country.

This is the first time I have hope for Democrats to win back a bunch of seats in 2018.

Real shyt....for the first time in my life I will have my ass down at those polls during mid-election. That shyt is imperative.

This WP article on Trump "working on this bill" is surreal

Here is just a taste

Shortly after House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) unveiled the Republican health-care plan on March 6, President Trump sat in the Oval Office and queried his advisers: “Is this really a good bill?”

And over the next 18 days, until the bill collapsed in the House on Friday afternoon in a humiliating defeat — the sharpest rebuke yet of Trump’s young presidency and his negotiating skills — the question continued to nag at the president.

Even as he thrust himself and the trappings of his office into selling the health-care bill, Trump peppered his aides again and again with the same concern, usually after watching cable news reports chronicling the setbacks, according to two of his advisers: “Is this really a good bill?”

Question for people who have been following everything ACA-related deeply... how does the vote from two months ago to defund the ACA play into this here? Won't that still lead to the eventual cratering of the ACA?

I think the CBO said it was fine for years to come. Don't have a link though.

Fail at governing brehs.

But how funny is it to see Ryan attach himself to this obvious fukking failure, what a loser. If he really thought this had the slightest chance of passing then he really is a fukking moron and guess what, he's not going to win this "it's the Dems" fault position either because this was just a disaster of a bill and everyone knows it.
