It would entail Democrats supporting the bill. What would get Dems to support a bill in this political climate? Nothing that I can think of. There's no way they want to be a part of a bill that's successful on Trump's watch.
what would a "bipartisan bill" entail? you seem to have some ideas, so share them....
It's a matter of pride now. If they can manage it, they will shove it through....
This is what a bubble dweller looks like folks. We have GOP leaders, on camera, saying they don't want to work with dems or that working with dems isn't an option. And this bubble dweller has the nerve to claim dems don't want to work with Republicans? Lol. Of course there are also Democrats on video starting that they would be willing to work with Republicans to fix the ACA.
Also notice how this bubble dweller frames the reasoning to work with Democrats, to take "pressure off the Republicans". Not to get a balanced bill, not because it's in the best interest of the people but because of nothing other than pure political reasons.
This guy deserves everything that's coming to him.
Deductibles don't matter if you can't afford coverage. That's the Repub plan.
I don't know if that's the best strategy but I do think they should go for a bipartisan bill. That'd take a lot of pressure off the Republicans. I don't think too many, if any, Dems want a bipartisan bill. They don't want Trump to have any legislative victories of working with the other side.
Is he though? While what he might post is vile and hurtful you on the other hand are actually, literally, voting for people who are actively trying to take away health care from people.
Personally, a vile shit talker is preferable to one whose actions lead to despicable things.
Growing pains. That shit would have been sorted ages ago with a willing congress.I can't afford coverage right now under Obamacare and that was the Dem plan

Just ignore the reprobate sack of shit. He sold his soul and he can't be saved. Degenerates and sociopaths don't give a damn about anything unless and until it affects them personally.

Here is your plan though, if you can tell you are about to come down with something serious, come to Europe. We got you.
I'll limp around a long time while waiting in line in Europe to get my procedure done.
Maybe they don't want to be associated with this steaming pile of dung of a bill? Based on the fact that only 17% of ALL voters support it right now, can you blame them?
Meanwhile, the big old bad Obamacare is over 50% rating.
Why do we have those results? Fake polls and news?
It's funny that Mitch thought he was smart by pushing out the 'really bad cuts' from healthcare past the 10 year mark. Since the CBO usually only projects to 10 years, he thought he would beat the system. When the CBO did a second decade of projections with the much bigger cuts (that take place after 10 years), it really showed what a pile of shit this bill and the GOP are for pushing it.
On the contrary, if the Republicans proposed a bill that actually met Trump's promises, I'll bet most Democrats would support it. Here's what Donnie and his team promised:It would entail Democrats supporting the bill. What would get Dems to support a bill in this political climate? Nothing that I can think of.

It's natural that the people will side with the devil they know rather than the unknown.
If the Dems really want to play ball they should present their own bipartisan bill with other Repubs like Graham and Collins and let's see what it looks like
My recollection is the dems plan was single payer but then some teabaggers started freaking stupid people out over death panels. Thanks teabaggers!
She added, "People who have health emergencies can't wait for us to have a theoretical debate about some better idea that will never, ever come to pass."
Maybe someone could bring us a Facebook posting from someone who had a horrible healthcare experience in Europe and then we could have a FB back and forth. That'd really be fun.
Well, they need at least 7 years. That's how long the GOP has had to come up with something and look what that got us.
Yet you advocate policies with those results. You don't get it both ways. Actions have consequences, and you have to accept accountability for them.I don't hope for any of that nonsense.
The truth is even the Dems aren't all together on single payer. In fact the Hillary Clinton wing of the party isn't for it:

Single payer is so unpopular that neither major party candidate supported it in the last Presidential election

You're a someone, right? Have at it.
You can find horrible healthcare experience EVERYWHERE, no matter the system. We just happen to have lots more horrible than the rest of the world. Our neighbors just North and South don't have these issues, regardless of the rhetoric. I've spent months in Mexico and especially Canada and they think our healthcare system is just crazy. They also laugh when asked about how bad their system is and every single Canadian that I talked to said they would take theirs hands down. I know, my sample of people isn't big enough. I'm sure you'll match it person per person with an opposite reaction.
The reality here is that Obamacare screwed things up so badly it can't be fixed with one reconciliation bill
And if you cannot soak the costs now, how do you expect to do so without government subsidy?
