CNN: Senate rejects full Obamacare repeal without replacement
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
I mean McCain voted in opposition. He was one of the 7 GOP to help kill this bill.

It's a work.
At least two. Skinny repeal(Just get rid of mandate) and Graham-Cassidy(Allow states to decide on mandate) are definitely up. Not sure when Vote-A-Rama starts, because that'll just be chaos with both dems and reps throwing votes at the wall.
What are the chances that Skinny Repeal passes?
Also, has any republican been able to articulate how repealing the individual mandate is going to keep premiums down and help to prevent a collapse in the market? It seems their biggest gripe with Obamacare is that it is collapsing and premiums have increased. What will Skinny Repeal do to fix those concerns?

Still want to point out how much a piece of shit John McCain is. While using his health benefits to the max all at the same time willing to take away 20 million peoples benefits while some die in the process. So basically a big F U
edit. I read earlier that he voted for the repeal but not I'm reading he was part of the opposition. Still a piece of shit but I take some of that back he stuck to his word

It basically does nothing but get rid of the mandate.
Which will inevitably collapse the market.

Undermine the funding of the ACA so it bleeds out.
If he didn't learn from his current situation, he's an idiot.
Everything the same except no individual mandate(so more people choose to be uninsured and individual markets collapse faster). Then there's Graham-Cassidy that just let's the states decide how much they want opt-outters to pay in taxes for opting out.
I'd say there's a 90%+ chance that Skinny Repeal passes.
As for the second part if your question: OLOLOL!
Yup.
Nowhere near 90%. Murko and Collins are solid noes. Heller probably is a no. A few others may join in. Just need one rando to join those two and it's dead. At best I'd give it a 40% chance.
Heller already said today he sees no reason to vote against the skinny.

Not just the ACA. The entire health insurance industry would bleed to death. It's a suicidal bill.
Did he? That's unfortunate. Hopefully Rand sticks to his guns of being no against anything but a full repeal.
McCain, Capito, Collins, Heller, Portman, Lamar Alexander, and Lisa Murkowski.
Edit: Wrong vote.
This vote wasn't the skinny, this was full repeal.

Rand said he will vote for it too.
It's going to be the same 50-50 mess with Collins/Murkowski against and Pence tie breaking.
The skinny hasn't been put up for a vote yet.

That's the goal.
Whelp. Let's hope there's at least one person with a spine in that caucus. It's better than the BCRA, but that's not saying much.
I thought the GOP is probusiness. They would destroy 1/5 of the economy just to spite one man. JESUS.

Is this the one McCain said he wouldn't vote for?
As long as the Medicaid expansion is preserved, Murko/Collins/Heller should have very few problems voting for the bill.

McCain already voted 'yes' on a bill he said 4 hours earlier he was a 'no' on.

Susan Collins continues to go against bad bills. She's been against this for months now.
Good on her.
Yes. He voted to continue the debate, but said the bill itself was bad and he'd vote no on it regardless.

As great as this is, they'll just do a "do-over" for the fifth(?) time and it'll probably pass. I don't see them stopping anytime soon.

Trump was right, he has done more in his first 6 months than any other president.
More losing that is.
