    Without even the slightest hint of irony.

      John kasich wrote an op ed today about how this has to be a bipartisan effort or it won't pass. Meanwhile White House source says it's pence who is demanding the defunding of PP, even though some Rs wisely want it out because it could kill the bill.
      Pence is a real POS.

        apparently your government is immune to kickbacks and bribery. lucky you.
        And apparently you think this doesn't happen with private companies? At least it's illegal to bribe a government official. Nothing prevents bribing private businesses.

          and each one reimburses for different amounts, has different provider networks, etc...
          Hospitals and doctor's offices need to hire more staff to deal with more payers each with their own forms and procedures

          meanwhile, most people don't shop around for health insurance like they do auto or homeowner's insurance -- they are stuck with whatever their employer offers, so the market doesn't favor the company with the best customer service or best provider network, it favors the companies that make the best deals with employers.

              apparently your government is immune to kickbacks and bribery. lucky you. in NY state, there is plenty of under-the-table profit motive from government employees, and they don't have anywhere near the oversight and audit trails found elsewhere.

              "and he so loved the DMV and the IRS, that he hired them to run his health insurance plan." no thanks. over half the people at the IRS give taxpayers erroneous information. why do you expect anything better here?
              Your naivete is infuriating as it is obnoxious.

              You assume that corporations don't have bribery and kickbacks.

                I hate Pence more than I hate Trump. Trump is just a ****ing idiot. Pence has no soul or conscience.

                        Yeah, but it's different reasons for each side. The Tea Party and the Freedom Caucus hate it because it keeps too much of Obamacare, it doesn't kick people off insurance fast enough. The Democrats hate it because it destroys Obamacare.

                        And not sure why Trump would run away from all this. From what I've read, if this plan doesn't pass, then Trump's backup plan is just to strangle Obamacare so it collapses under its own weight, and then blame it on democrats who knew it would collapse from the get-go, but refused to pass his healthcare plan that would have saved people's health insurance.

                        And there are ways they can do that. One they've already done, which is repeal the taxes on the higher earners. Repeal the mandate. Cut back on the expanded Medicaid funds. If there's no money to make Obamacare work, then it won't. And they'll just say, "see, we told you it was failing".
                        What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                          If you want to blame anyone on the stupidity of the new bill, blame that globalist Paul Ryan. It's basically Obamacare on crack when it comes to the taxes. A repeal has support. The replacement is killing the efforts.

                          I hope that Soros-funded speaker gets primaried.

                            I would love for Republicans to propose gutting Medicare, and then listen to the wailing from the Trumpettes.
