House of Representatives Republican leaders said on Tuesday they still intended to repeal and replace Obamacare after their White House-backed bill failed to get enough support and collapsed last week.

"The fact that our conference is more resolved than ever to repeal this law is very encouraging and we're not going to stop until we get it done," said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy after a closed meeting. House Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters he would not give a timeline on any new attempt to pass healthcare legislation "because we want to get it right."

1. Ryan fantasizes seeing poor and old people in the streets by the millions.

He will NOT rest until he makes it happen.

2. They haven't been able to do it for more than seven years

because they have no plan and they never had a plan. The reason they have no plan is because it is impossible to devise a system that makes "free market" health insurance affordable for everyone without financial assistance from the government. The bill they came up with, which preserved the GOPers' insistence that there be little or no government involvement and also removed all of the so-called essential services, was hated by everybody and clearly would not have made affordable coverage available to everyone. By its very nature, commercial, for-profit health insurance has no "free market" solution. They will never be able to do it.

3. is that why they cobbled the shit legislation together in three weeks?
