US Healthcare Repeal

Making every effort to keep political views out, this bill has the potential to do a lot of damage to all of us.

***Mods, feel free to close this if it crosses lines. I know we’re supposed to keep political away, but I need a place to freak out about this.

They’re set to vote in an hour and they still haven’t even seen the bill they’re supposed to vote on. It’s insanity.

They’re trying to get senators to vote yes by promising it won’t actually become law. But if it’s such garbage they need that assurance, WHY WOULD TO VOTE FOR IT?!?

Because they’re a bunch of IDIOTS.

Okay mods, lock’er down.

Perhaps you should write/email/call your senator and make the human case to keep Obama care?

Someone just suggested adding a “poison pill” to whatever the bill is as a way to make sure the House doesn’t just pass it.

Might as well leave this here for anyone interested in watching.

A couple reporters are now saying the feel in the Senate seems like it might be losing momentum!

YES!

Oops. Here’s what’s being boomed.

And, just to be clear, Ryan’s statement that they’re talking about is his assurance that the House will not quickly pass whatever shitty repeal bill Senate sends them.

The Repeal bill is really a bad idea. I think we should have a health care bill in place in this country.

While I don’t disagree, please please please keep personal politics to yourself. I really need a place to put my worry and anxiety over this bill and statements like that will get this thread closed.

It’s creeping quickly toward 9:30 EST when debate will end and voting can start. I’m kind of freaking out.

Ok, I’m sorry. Truly.

It’s almost time to vote and several senators are refusing to say which way they’ll vote.

They’re waiting before voting. Probably a few hours.

Sorry, I missed this earlier, but yes! Call!!! Everyone call!

ETA this is the number for the Senate. They can connect you with yourr senators.

Trump is out of control…the United States deserves affordable health care. period.

I love my senators. Also, still no word on what’s actually in this bill they’re supposed to be voting on.
