If there is anyone who would understand getting a bailout, it's our Dear Leader."bailouts"
"Senator Lindsey Graham said in a statement issued late on Friday that he and two other Republican senators, Dean er and Bill Cassidy, met with Trump after the defeat to discuss
Graham's proposal to take tax money raised by Obamacare and send it back to the states in the form of healthcare block grants.
Graham said the move would end Democrats' drive for a national single-payer healthcare system by putting states in charge.
"President Trump was optimistic about the Graham-Cassidy- er proposal," "

Just blind bullying anybody and anything that dares to make him look like a LOSER, which of course he is.

Health care can be fixed if we just let Carl Ichan and Dmitry Rybolovlev cover all the red ink.
Why is it you always run to the single payer mantra when it isn't on the the table. There is no single payer plan, Democrats aren't giving you a single payer system.
european doctors seem to like it fine. as do europeans. many emergency medical costs will be prevented by the regular check-ins public health care would provide. ultimately we would be a healthier and less expensive population.
until then a good start to pay for it would be the billions of dollars the 1% are keeping out of the economy and out of taxes. wasnt donald supposed to do something about that?
for the rest of us, we pay for it with tax increases, which no reasonable person should have a problem with since were not having to pay insurance.
were an insanely wealthy country and the only developed nation in the world that runs itself like a third world country afraid to ask its wealthiest citizens to foot the bill for anything.
The Dem senators don't want to go on record for single payer - voted "present." I wonder how Bernie fans feel about that.
Those politicians and their staff should be forced to live under the same laws that we do. What? Might there be something that liberals here agree with Trump on? There must be a blue moon out tonight :-)
Stop. Every time liberals say Trumpcare is dead, suddenly it's tweaked slightly and up for another vote. Trumpcare is inevitable, and if Republicans can't get something passed before losing control in 2018, then they are seriously ed. Until then, stop declaring Trumpcare dead, it's not even close to dead.
They probably feel disappointed there is no liberal party in the US.
Trumpcare will be very hard to pass before October since McConnell wasted his one spending reconciliation bill for the fiscal year on the skinny repeal. It's awesome that McCain let the vote happen by supporting the motion to proceed and made McConnell put it up for a vote and use up his spending reconciliation bill on it.
It would have to be folded into their tax cut bill (which will be hard enough to pass on its own) or their must pass bill to raise the debt ceiling, since the senate is also allowed one reconciliation bill on revenues and one on debt ceilings per fiscal year. Until October 1st and the beginning of the new fiscal year healtcare votes are probably just going to be meaningless masturbation unless the parties write a bill that has a chance to get 60 votes in the senate.

Are you referring to the House? I thought that a lot of Dem senators are up in 2018 - some in Trump country.
my take on the cartoon was that the dead person was killed by trashcare
Majority of Americans want Congress to move on from healthcare reform
Nearly two-thirds of the country wants to either keep or modify the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, and a majority of Americans want Congress to turn its attention to other priorities,
The July 28-29 poll of more than 1,130 Americans, conducted after the Republican-led effort collapsed in the Senate, found that 64 percent said they wanted to keep Obamacare, either “entirely as is” or after fixing “problem areas.” That is up from 54 percent in January.
The survey found that support for the law still runs along party lines, with nine out of 10 Democrats and just three out of 10 Republicans saying they wanted to keep or modify Obamacare.
Among Republicans, three-fourths said they would like their party’s leaders to try to repeal and replace Obamacare at some point, though most listed other issues that they would give a higher priority right now.
When asked what they think Congress should do next, most Americans picked other priorities such as
tax reform, foreign relations and infrastructure.
Only 29 percent said they wanted Republicans in Congress to “continue working on a new healthcare bill.”
Americans appear to be more supportive of some of the main features of Obamacare. For example,
77 percent said they were in favor of expanding Medicaid to low-income families, and
43 percent said they favored requiring U.S. residents to own health insurance.
That was up from 66 percent and 36 percent, respectively, when Reuters/Ipsos first asked those questions in April 2012.

WH spokes person says passage of repeal-and-replace is Trash's imperative, is Trash's priority before any other legislation.
btw, Trash mentioned in the campaign "repeal Obamacare" and "family leave" more often than "build the wall"
I bet he won't fight for "family leave" any more that he fights the "LGBT people love me"

Because it's safe. He doesn't own it. There is no risk to (him). He can fight that fight indefinitely without harm. It's all upside.
He can fight it and Obama's name is on it the entire time.
A toe tag is used to identify a dead body.
of course, I know that, both interpretations are valid, and the Repugs have already been working on the Trumpcare zombie (it ain't dead)
They're going to have to bundle it in with taxes or with the debt ceiling vote if they want a reconciliation bill before October. The House might move on something but the senate's hands are tied unless they want another enormous fight on tax cuts or on must pass legislation to raise the debt ceiling. No way the senate is going to let Trump take the fallout for the US defaulting just like they weren't going to let the government shutdown on his watch either. And they won't be in a strong position to push healthcare into that must pass legislation.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., reportedly has a new overhaul plan for the Senate, where senators will returned Monday because Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has revoked the first two weeks of their traditional August recess.

youre right why discuss anything that isnt a current bill in congress?
dems will push for single payer when enough people demand it.
Sen. Flake to Lawmakers: 'We Are the Biggest Problem Here'
So Trump is going to rip up the rules of the senate?
Get it done
Congress does not deserve month vacation
Empty threats.
Maybe someone should tell him that he actually needs them more than the other way around.
