They are all on board with eliminating the mandate and fines.

They voted against coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. Friends of mine are saying they're toast. I have a pre-existing condition, too.

They voted to take coverage away from CHILDREN. Thank you so much "pro-life" people - pro-life until they're actually HERE.

" Bonus: they waited til today, after Senator Feinstein had a pacemaker put in, so she couldn't vote."

Un-f'king-believable!!!

They haven't wanted to do *anything* over the past eight years - the do-nothing Congress. and NOW they're eager to work. For themselves, not the rest of us.

I have tried to find some actual reference to that specific repeal issue..

I just can't believe that they took away coverage from children. And certain things for pregnant women. Prove you're pro-life - stop them from doing this.

A friend of mine:

quote:
I have something else to point out about Congress taking away insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions.

I have a pre-existing condition because I donated a kidney to a stranger. It not only gave him a longer, better life and more years with his children and grandchildren, but it also kick-started a "pay it forward" chain of 6 donations.

Because of Congress's vote last night, I can be denied health coverage in the future because I did this.

I did the surgery knowing it was a risk, but I didn't know I faced an additional risk from my own elected officials voting against measures designed to keep their constituents alive and healthy longer.

The budget reconciliation is how they are going to dispose of Obamacare. They have to gut it prior to replacing it with something more viable.

Teasel, I understand your feelings about Trump. He was not the peoples choice and it is a fearful time in america.
Re obamacare; I also understand your fear of coverage loss. But, obamacare has hurt as many as it has helped. My premiums tripled while my benefits were reduced by about 50%.
That said, I think we need to have a wait and see attitude. There is that remote chance he will find a way to cover those losing the obamacare with something better or at least as good. He may find a better way to manage insurance companies so they will reduce the gouging they gave others (me)
So, in essence, we shouldn`t jump the gun and think he will throw out the baby with the bathwater.
He may be heartless but there are many good Republicans and Dems left to have some say.
Hugs to you and fur faces.

Neither teasel or anyone else has lost coverage under ObamaCare....unless they stopped paying for coverage. Stop the damned lying.

Did you mean that jwhop? No one lost coverage under Obamacare? Hmmm

No one has lost anything yet because Obama is not going to sign the Repeal and even Trump is pushing for a replacement to BE IN PLACE.

HOWEVER so far there IS no replacement plan (after 6 years of threats). So gutting the ACA would leave even more people adrift. Im glad some people are happy with that but most are not

Then there are the people who are suddenly realuzing that the ACA which they are fond of is the same as the Obamacare they voted against.

Obama won't sign this and if Trump does then he is blatantly going against his (self admitted) campaign "untruths".

I DON'T HAVE COVERAGE. I WANTED IT, NEED IT.

you can eff off. Nobody is lying. They voted to take Medicaid away from CHILDREN (CHIP). Nothing us in place, and they're happily taking away health care for millions of people. If that includes the VA, then that includes my dad

Teasel, I don`t understand, why didn`t you have coverage; at least under Medicaid?
Chip is in place in MI and medicaid in general has expanded under obamacare. This won`t change and I think it is up to the Governor to change it (medicaid).

If you have a source for CHIP`s loss, please share.

If Trump didn't repeal Obamacare, the left would complain. And now that he's keeping his word and doing just that, the left complains.

? If he breaks his promises the complaints should be universal, shouldn't they? And if he goes ahead with the stupid ones it won't be just "the Left" complaining. Why can't you see beyond left and right? Most people fall between the lines Randall. But after the very richest people get their millions bsck in taxes and the rest of us pay more, with no plan to pay for but profiteer healthcare, i should think everyone (except the very rich) will be complaining.

Many people think the ACA is far from perfect... but throwing all the money away that's been spent establishing it, then spending more to pay for vouchercare, will not go down any better. It would be far better to FIX IT not trash it.

Meanwhile they threaten to turn our SS funds over to those rich people, instead of replacing what has been borrowed from it to keep it solvent.

Anyway it looks like the Repubs had a real plan..to stall the cybersnoop investigation till Trump won, then use it to throw him under the bus.

Baseless fear mongering. Such hypocrisy! John Lewis says Trump isn't legitimate. What if a Congressman had claimed Obama was not legitimate? There would have been an outrage! A reporter for the Daily Caller acted like the reporter at Trump's press conference, and Obama was praised for it. Hypocrites!
