Johnson: I ‘Confirmed’ McConnell Double-Speak On Obamacare Repeal
Support for the Senate bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act is teetering on the edge of collapse, with a third Republican senator threatening to join the two who have already promised to block a vote when the bill comes to the floor.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) learned from TPM last week that Senate Majority Mitch
McConnell (R-KY) was telling moderate Republican senators in closed-door meetings that a future Congress and president will not let the bill’s harshest cuts to Medicaid go into effect.
On Monday, Johnson told reporters he went to the moderate senators in question and confirmed that report, causing him to withdraw his previous support for advancing the bill.
“I was strongly in favor of the motion to proceed before I read the comments by Senator McConnell,” he said.
“The ‘don’t worry about it, it’s too far in the future, it’ll never happen.’
I’ve confirmed those comments with the senators they were made to, learned they were largely accurate, and I find those comments very troubling. It really does put in jeopardy the motion to proceed.”

Of course, Ron Johnson an extremist terrorist from Walker's WI, a model Kockistam, was ready to vote 10Ms out of health care.
This how power-freak McConnell schemes to get credit for "winning"

McCain's absence is irrelavant.

“After conferring with trusted experts regarding the latest version of the Consumer Freedom Amendment, I have decided I cannot support the current version of the Better Care Reconciliation Act,” Sen. Lee said.
“In addition to not repealing all of the Obamacare taxes, it doesn’t go far enough in lowering premiums for middle class families; nor does it create enough free space from the most costly Obamacare regulations.”
ded
member when this was the first plan and it failed?
republicans should repeal failed president
They never tried it. It was just laughed off.member when this was the first plan and it failed?
republicans should repeal failed president
You cant start from zero because where would the millions of people that have insurance be place? They just wait 2-3 years while the hapless republicans come up with a plan?
Doubtful. If it dies it's going to have to be from moderates like Collins & Murkowski and from er scared of being voted out of office.
McConnell mocking the Dems for celebrating the Trumpcare defeat,
sez he's gonna make the Dems pay by repealing ACA and really up people.

Senate’s New Plan To Repeal But Not Replace Obamacare On Brink Of Collapse
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell proposed a full repeal after the GOP health care bill died Monday.
Some Republican senators are already saying they won’t vote to repeal Obamacare without providing a replacement for it
Mitch McConnell Hospitalized with Low White-Vote Count
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was rushed to the hospital late Monday night with what doctors diagnosed as a low white-vote count.
Doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center said that when McConnell arrived at the facility
his white-vote count had fallen below fifty and he had gone into shock.
Dr. Harland Dorrinson, a physician at Walter Reed who is monitoring McConnell’s condition, called his low white-vote count “very serious.”
“Mitch McConnell needs a white-vote count of at least fifty in order to function,” he said.
“If it falls below fifty and stays there for an extended period of time, he cannot survive.”
Efforts to boost the Senate Majority Leader’s white-vote count have so far proved fruitless, as
doctors acknowledged that they have been unable to find additional white votes that are compatible with McConnell.
McConnell was first rushed to Walter Reed after showing symptoms commonly associated with a low white-vote count, including
a feeling of hopelessness and uncontrollable sobbing.

Obamacare is only 'exploding' in red states
President Trump almost always asserts that Obamacare is “exploding.” Republican members of Congress make similar claims, insisting that Obamacare is unsustainable—and that they therefore have no choice but to “repeal and replace” it.
There is some basis for this argument.
More than 1,300 counties only have one insurer in their exchanges, meaning there is no compe ion.
But there is a nuance that Republicans willfully ignore:
This is a problem of their own creation that is largely confined to red states.
Where Republican governors have sought to sabotage the program, they have largely succeeded.
Where Democratic governors have tried to make the ACA work, they too have largely succeeded.
In states with Republican governors, more than 40 million people live in counties with only one insurer. In states with Democratic governors, there are 10.7 million people who live in such counties.
Democratic governors generally tried to persuade people to buy insurance, while
Republican governors were more often neutral, if not openly hostile, to the program.
As a result, fewer healthy people bought into the exchanges in their states, making the system less profitable for insurers.
In addition, Republican governors and Republican insurance commissioners were often less cooperative with insurance companies.
While Democratic governors cajoled insurers to enter and stay in the exchanges, and met reasonable regulatory concerns, Republican governors had little interest in making their exchanges work.

The last-ditch Obamacare repeal plan is already in big trouble
Hold a vote on a partial Obamacare repeal bill that 50 Senate Republicans already voted for in 2015 and dare skittish senators to knock it down.
But the partial repeal bill is estimated to have even more devastating consequences than the Better Care Reconciliation Act:
32 million fewer people with health insurance,
compared to Obamacare, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
The bill would repeal
the law’s financial assistance for private coverage,
its Medicaid expansion,
its taxes on the wealthy and health care industry, and (this is the real objective for the oligarchy)
its individual mandate.
It would not repeal the law’s insurance regulations, which are untouchable under the Senate rules, but it could
throw the individual insurance market into chaos.

Partial repeal of ACA ALREADY DEAD!
Trash: "On Day One ..."
and then, and then we're gonna gold too!
C'mon, 21, he stipulated early on that it was complicated/complex.
dems should put forth a bill for universal healthcare now.
They'd lose the advantage they enjoy right now.
why? the gop wants to get rid of obamacare, this is a great way to do it.
first campaign promise they will have kept, plus they get to be the party that reaches across the aisle in these divisive times.
The LONG REACH of Obama's Big Black is humiliating, destroying the red/slave state racist Repugs
