Democrats go in for the kill on ObamaCare repeal

Democrats are going in for the kill on the GOP push to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

Buoyed by Republican infighting and the backlash against the GOP legislation, Democrats believe they have momentum as they head toward a final showdown in July.

They got a boost on Friday when President Trump muddied the waters for his party by suggesting senators repeal ObamaCare now and replace it later — an option that was roundly rejected by Republicans in January.

The GOP tug of war comes as Democrats are united around a single political message: That the bill will give tax breaks to the rich while taking healthcare away coverage for the poor.

1. Okay,

where and when are we going to see a roll out of this plan? Is the MSM going to show up,doubt it. But one can only hope someone shows.

7. One question

If this bill is so great, why don;t the politicians scrap THEIR own healthcare, and join it? Not good enough for them, but alright for everyone else. WE PAY THEIR SALARIES, when will they start representing us??

2. I really have been proud and happy, our strength in our Democratic Party.

They have no branches, and yet, the succeed.

Colbert said, it is like the slasher movies. We watch the babysitter, knowing slasher not dead and rising. But, it is down for now.

3. Schumer has offered to fix ACA more than once. McConnell and gang can't get th repeal word

out of their brains. The ACA is based on Heritage Foundation and Massachusetts, both were Republican plans.

At every single discussion of healthcare there should be mention of how the wealthy profit.

12. Obamacare repeal is like a vampire who won't die

We keep stabbing but it keeps coming back. Let's hopefully make this the last time that millions will have to pointlessly worry about dying.
