I can only hope that there a number equal to or greater than half of them will vote "no" on it, [sp]though considering "donations" and group mentality there could easily be more than half that vote "yes".[/sp]
It has about 30 no votes, and it can't have more than 23 I think.

Trump is attempting to make deal with freedom caucus.
Failing to get their first big piece of legislation out of the house while in control of the white house and congress is not gonna look good.

It's not going to look good no matter what they do. Either they flounder it and look like a bunch of idiots, or they pass it and piss off a lot of their constituents.

My rep is against it for the same reason. Justin Amash.
Rep Mark Walker (R-NC) stated they have no plan b if AHCA fails.
Makes sense. GOP hates anything having to do with birth control.
Good! Kill it with fire!
Ah yes, the DoublePlusGoodHealthAct!

This is what populism gets you, folks. The best incompetence rubles can buy.
So now that we're in the final stages of extinguishing yet another conservative dumpster fire, what's the next turd they intend to drop on the American people?

The budget with its huge cuts to everything but the military and DA WALLLLLLL is hanging over your heads. Health insurance is only the first finger to come off.
Good luck, friends to the south.
If this fails Trump will lose it. He'll blame everyone but himself. You know it's bad when you can't get the votes for a red bill in a red house
Even if they somehow manage to get it by the House, the only thing that accomplishes is pushing it off to the more moderate Senate, where the Republicans have a significantly smaller majority. And there's no way in hell that AHCA, given both how right-wing it started out as, and the fact they made it more so on Monday with the manager's amendment that was designed to appeal to the Freedom Caucus, that the bill can survive the Senate it. It's more a question of whether Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnel get embarrassed.

On the upside if we prepare for it, we can hook up his administration and Breitbart/etc. writers to dynamos, and when he inevitably goes apeshit on Twitter, the spin coming off of them will keep New York City lit and electrically heated for the rest of the year. Now that's generating some taxpayer savings for America.
There is a significant chance that Russia tampered with the election and effectively installed a puppet executive as a way of crippling it and weakening its geopolitical standing. The President's health care reform bill amounts to slashing it to the benefit of the well-off. A huge fucking wall is supposedly going to be built along the Mexican border, making the Berlin Wall look like a trivial picket fence dispute. Political discourse has been replaced with trolling and disinformation flung between insulated bubbles floating in a sea of awful memes. Cyberpunk was supposed to have way cooler architecture and way more advanced technology than this. I want a refund.

It will likely not pass.

At this point it might not even go to a vote. If Ryan is a big of a pussy as we all know he is.
Incredible that this bill isn't conservative enough for some people

Oh god, I just can't wait to see how they spin it after "there is only Plan A and we're going to get it done". They've puffed this up so big and then discovered at the eleventh hour that they've constructed an unstable mess that nobody wants except for partisans voting on party lines. Walking back now is going to be humiliating for Trump, and he's going to lash out through more than Twitter. He's going to go Nixonian-tier paranoid, only he's [I]already[/I] under FBI investigation.

rip? :v:
Now to see how they reconcile the far right who wants it to tear Obamacare apart limb from limb, and the moderate/center-right and the left who don't want to see the social safety net be set on fire more than it already is.
its dead lmao

Rip.
Looks like it lost.
Bigly.

uh looks like the House is still in recess.
Trump needs to drain the swamp and kick out all those Republicans. Then he can MAGA and give a tremendous healthcare.
