White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday that he was confident that the American Health Care Act would pass the House of Representatives.

The bill, currently in the House Rules Committee, could see a full floor vote Thursday.

“No,” there’s no plan B, Spicer told a reporter who asked about his confidence that the bill would win support in the House during a press briefing Wednesday. “There's ‘Plan A’ and ‘Plan A,’” he said. “We’re going to get this done.”

Spicer said Trump “absolutely” embraces the role of “closer,” when it comes to health care.

1. So, there was no planning?

No backup plan?

2. Sean, there was never even a plan A. Just destructive bullshit. Let's hope this goes down

in flames.

3. So, it is DOA already

and you have no plan B.

GOOD WORK!

4. this was plan A...

back up the clown car and dump out all the bullshit they could muster to swindle the American public.

the clowns planned that the American public would be far more gullible than they gave them credit, after all they were "elected" by the "american public".

they tried a more or less plan B but it was nothing more than just more bullshit.

when they realized that bullshit wouldn't work, they searched their warehouse and found no more bullshit.

now we have sad clowns. LOL

6. perfect, javaman

5. There is a Plan B

Plan A: get the House to pass Don T's InfernoCare by whatever means necessary, then do the same in the Senate.

Plan B: get the Redhats to attack anyone voting against the bill so hard, they rush back to Congress and pass the bill.

Plan B is fraught with danger...the number of Republicans we need to kill this bill is also the number we need to refer Dipshit's impeachment to the Senate.

7. I don't think Trump gives a rat's ass about whether ACA is repealed or not.

He just used it to get votes. Now he can say he tried, it failed, it wasn't his fault, and he's still President.

8. For the time being.

I am hoping he will be gone by 2018. Health issues, impeachment, Some other legal removal. I hope his dead eye zombie VP goes with him.

[NeoConsSuck]

9. Republicans lied about healthcare for years...

Great Read!

10. Of course there's no Plan B. Plan B is a contraceptive. (n/t)

11. They'll just hack the "vote by electronic device" so it "passes" and be done with it.

12. They've had EIGHT YEARS to plan this

While they were busy wasting taxpayer money trying to repeal the ACA over 50 times, they could have been working on the awesome replacement they kept talking about. So here we are. A shitty Plan A and no Plan B.
