217, they had 1 vote to spare!
Good on them, GOP is going to get REKT next year. This is dead in the Senate, and these 217 gots have to go face their cons uents next week
They rushed it through before recess because they knew the Senate would gut it anyway, and the House is going to have to re-vote on the Senate version.
Still a long way from passing and a meaningless "victory."
The senate will rework this into a slightly less bad piece of and approve on reconciliation and send it back to the house.
As I predicted earlier ITT, the Senate will not pass anything with the Medicaid expansion axed. And there's no way the "Freedm" Cuckus will vote for that.
Yeah they willAs I predicted earlier ITT, the Senate will not pass anything with the Medicaid expansion axed. And there's no way the "Freed
ing the 99% while giving the wealthy a huge tax cut.
Millions get to lose their coverage so Trump can give himself a huge tax cut.
How many millions?
Oh wait, we have no idea, CBO wasn't allowed to score the bill.
Repugs and BigInsurance wrote the bill, not Trash. He's bystanding beneficiary.
As usual, 90%+ of these Repugs will be re-elected by the very people they are screwing OVER AND OVER AND OVER
Has anybody heard from Christian Taliban grifter pastors complaining about how their flocks are being raped?
some good news from this
The CBO scoring report will be out next week. The House vote was rushed to precede the scoring.
Repug voters don't care. Their team "won", and that's all that matters.
Wrong. All that matters is "winning" by ing over liberals AND tax cuts for the rich.
holy so they passed this without the CBO score or letting the public know what was in it?
Yeah it's dead as in the senate.
Vet move, don't let Americans know just how bad your bill is until after it is passed. GOP gonna get slaughtered in the midterms
Reason to look forward to 2018 seeing Trump go nuclear on Twitter after the GOP gets smashed.
If Zombie Trumpcare is about states' rights, why is it screwing New York and California?
Two states in particular would be punished for the health care decisions they've made law: New York and California.
But since they're blue states, Republicans apparently don't count them.
Nearly a million people in these states would be unable to keep the tax credits for their current plans, and hundreds of thousands more could be forced to choose between paying full price to enroll in the plan that best meets their needs or claiming tax credits for a plan with a less appropriate network, cost sharing, or other features.
That’s because
the Republican plan prohibits individuals from using their subsidies to pay for plans that cover abortions (unless such coverage is limited to abortions following rape or incest, or abortions that are necessary to save the woman’s life). California and New York both require insurance plans to include abortion coverage. […]
This restriction would mean that people eligible for tax credits wouldn’t be able to use them for most plans currently offered in New York and California’s insurance markets.
In New York, the restriction could eliminate a dozen issuers from subsidy eligibility, to the benefit of one insurer in the state that denies abortion coverage (because it qualifies for a religious exemption from the abortion-coverage requirement).
Rep. Dan Donovan, a Republican from New York, talked about this problem with Chris Hayes last week, citing it as one of his key concerns with the bill.
Hayes asked, rhetorically, "How is any Republican in California and New York going to vote for this thing?"
That remains a really good question.

The reason this POS bill got passed is because the GOP house is expecting the senate to block it. This is Paul Ryan passing the buck to Mitch McConnell. However McConnell wasn't born yesterday. He's not going to let this albatross hang around his neck.
The senate will amend this and send it back to the house, the house won't approve the changes. That way, when 2018 rolls around, the teabaggers in the house can tell their base that they did everything to repeal the black man's law, while the moderates in swing districts won't be impacted by people losing coverage. Everyone saves their hide, and the games continue.
So do you think senators like Graham and McCain support this?
Under the AHCA, heavy periods could once again become a preexisting condition
States could allow insurers to charge people with preexisting conditions more on the individual market.

periods are a "medical condition" for insurers, and for the tax man tampons are taxable
