It is largely the GOP's responsibility but it is different than Obamacare. The GOP will have to throw in some goodies in order to get those 8 Dem votes they'll need. That will give them cover that Obama didn't have. Like with most legislation, there will be winners and losers. If people like me see their bills go down, we'll vote Republican. The folks who want freebies from the gov't, be it birth control or Medicaid, probably won't vote Republican anyway. Just ask Mitt Romney...
LOL, sure it is. I could just as easily say and with just as much legal authority that it's my human right to be able to enjoy watching poor progressives die in agony while I look up the best flights to Hawaii.

LOL. Yeah, it's the progressives who are going to die, not the penniless redneck Trump voters in flyover country. You know, the ones who are older, fatter and unhealthier, and without decent jobs. It's definitely those evil young liberals in cities making a ton of money with good insurance already who are going to "die in the streets."
You simple idiots astound me sometimes with both your inability to critically think and your lack of care for your countrymen. Worst of both worlds -- malicious retards.
The dumbest among us resort to these things you see Glenn do. It's shameful.
It's not about intelligence but rather about character. You don't have to be stupid to be a dick. The rewards of dickishness are often quite large in our society & we seem to have a perverse fascination with it.
Witness Trump as President. The fact that he's a flaming asshole is a big part of his appeal.
they are too dumb to understand the net gains of the things they fight against. That is stupidity.
and since Trump said it can be done quickly it should have been ready to go.
In reality Republicans were never interested in healthcare reform. Repeal and replace was just a sound bite and the repeal votes were easy since they weren't going to have to own replace.
They got it now.
He has been in office what 33 days.... Your reasoning is flawed.
but they too would gain. They are incapable of seeing anything beyond the narrow view.
Empathy is a higher intelligence trait. But you don't even need empathy to understand how universal health care would benefit yourself personally.
IQ tests don't measure empathy. History is filed with highly competitive, intelligent & successful people who never gave a rat's ass about anybody but themselves. It's a terrible mistake to think that they're stupid.
My reasoning is based in Republicans having been promoting repeal and replace since 2010. They had up to 60 repeal votes but never worked on replace. It shows they were never serious about reform. Now the unforeseeable to them has happened. They own all of it.He has been in office what 33 days.... Your reasoning is flawed.
And he said it would be one of the first things he'd do. He later moved it to his first 100 days, which I'll agree is still one of the first things. I'll apologize in this thread if with in 67 days we get a repeal and replace with a plan that covers more people for less monthly cost and lower cost deductibles plus keep the preexisting condition coverage and popular preventative, extended coverage for kids.
If he doesn't you need to come here and post you/Trump was wrong.
Deal?
*I'll accept something passes but takes time to rollout but it needs to be a concrete rollout plan with defined dates. You can't say people in Congress prevented it because getting quorum is required.*
And we all know that the Democrats are not going along with anything at the moment.

and why should they? After getting blocked for 8 years? No.
Yes I know about that. But now that they have no one but themselves to blame, they are being more cautious. Not exactly a bad thing.
No they do not own all of it.
And 33 days is totally unrealistic and retarded.
I agree it is all on the republicans to come up with what they promised.
But to bitch they haven't completed it in just 33 days is just stupid.
