Sarah Kliff: “House Republicans are hurtling toward a vote on a bill that is disliked by most Americans, opposed by nearly every major health care group, and not yet scored by the Congressional Budget Office.”

“This is an unusual situation, and a puzzling one. Republicans are on the verge of voting for a health care bill without knowing how many people it covers or how much it would cost. They risk setting themselves up for embarrassment when the numbers actually do come out and don’t look good.”

1. They won't be embarrassed

They'll be proud that they managed to rip insurance out of the grasp of millions of fellow citizens. May they all roast in hell on a slowly turned spit.

8. How many times do I need to type this: GOP wants to kill poor people

Period.


Now, it is possible with their desire to kill poor people becoming clearer and clearer that we might see movement toward single payer soon.

Anything less is torture of all non rich Americans.

2. It might be so bad that the Republicans lose the House,

but who cares so long as it's a 'win' for Trump.

3. Trump wants a "win" he can pound his chest over .

He could give a shit about anything or anybody else.

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. He hasnt read the bill, is incapable of comprehending it, and does not care who it kills

and it kills plenty.

He is a psychopath sociopath, human life other than his own, including his own family ,doesn't mean anything to him.

4. They're also not publishing the bill 72 hours ahead of time

Nobody who votes on this bill, for or against, will have had a chance to read it ahead of time. Wasn't that one of the animating features of the Tea Baggers? Is anyone asking the Tea Baggers about Congress' failure to read legislation before they vote on it? Why haven't they taken to the streets? Where are the chartered buses and the professionally-made signs that all of the Tea Baggers totally paid for themselves taking this to the street?

5. Any "win" in the House will become a "loss" in the Senate

This is simply a hollow ploy to appease Trump voters. "See...we tried! (but without Democrat help, we were stymied!)"

6. Does it need 50 or 60 votes in the Senate?

I heard it only needs 50 Plus Pence? I read previously that it is up to the parlimentarian to judge if it can be part of budget with just 51 needed or needs 60.

7. they will regret voting for this travesty.
