Senator Cotton warns that Trumpcare can cost the GOP the House in 2018

[JakeStarkey]

The contards and the far rightards were told before the election that TrumpCare would come with a terrible cost, the very real possibility of a Democratic House after the 2018 elections.

The tardos laughed. Senator Cotton stopped the laughter in an interview on ABC.

COTTON: George, the bill probably can be fixed, but it’s going to take a lot of carpentry on that framework. As it’s written today, this bill in the House of Representatives cannot pass the Senate. And I believe it would have adverse consequences for millions of Americans and it wouldn’t deliver on our promises to reduce the cost of health insurance for Americans.

So, I would say to my friends in the House of Representatives with whom I serve, do not walk the plank and vote for a bill that cannot pass the Senate and then have to face the consequences of that vote.

….

STEPHANOPOULOS: So you’re saying House Republicans if they vote for this bill are going to pay the price without getting any benefit?

COTTON: I’m afraid that if they vote for this bill, they’re going to put the House majority at risk next year. And we have majorities in the House and the Senate and the White House, not only to repeal Obamacare and get health care reform right, but to reform or taxes and our regulations and build up our military and to accomplish many other things.

ssssshhhhhhh ...

damn it, don't tell Trump that !

let it be a surprise.

 

[MACAULAY]

Cotton is a great American. Very smart Southern boy who fought in both Iraq & Afghanistan.

Unfortunately, he is poorly educated. He went to Harvard.

 

[S.J.]

Don't get your hopes up, Jake. Any bill will be better than Obamacare with it's skyrocketing premiums and shitty coverage.

 

[Fenton Lum]

The problem will never be solved politically because healthcare in america is first and foremost about profit. Other societies have figured out how to do healthcare much better than we do. We're just not that into this.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

2018 will give the GOP the 60 vote majority.

Don't get your hopes up, Jake. Any bill will be better than Obamacare with it's skyrocketing premiums and shitty coverage.

The boys at the Heritage Foundation shat it all up didn't they. And of course then BO allowed insurance industry and pharma industry lobbyists in the room. Just as any other version will go down in america.

It's not passing, it's a shit bill created by RINO Ryan. Let Obamacare collapse on it's own. The Dems will never win another election again.

Obamacare was all about the socialist agenda, nothing else.

The plan came out originally from the Heritage Foundation. We have THE most expensive healthcare system on the planet for relatively shitty healthcare outcomes relative to other advanced post industrial societies; and you would call all of them "socialist" [shudder].

Here's just one example of how your system sodomizes you. Canada has a single payer system. As such, the Canadian system is able to negotiate downward pharmaceutical pricing in dealing with american pharma companies. Those american pharma companies then hike rates on americans to offset the difference.

Your system embraces socialism, take the Wall Street bailouts for example. Those occurred across both "conservative" and "liberal 'socialist/leftist'" administrations. With the same "economic advisement" [Goldman Sachs] team in place.

Privatized gains versus socialized losses for the Wall Street bankster class
Internailzed profit versus externalized risk and expense for the "job creator" class
Soclialism for the aristocracy versus laissez-faire capitalism for the masses

That is your system.

Not likely. The DNC appointed Tom Perez to head the DNC, which means they're quadrupling down on Clintonian corruption.



Meanwhile, George Soros is still funding riots and violence, so it's very unlikely that America will shift left any time soon.

 

[DGS49]

The rollout was unfortunate, but there will be a lot of changes before it gets out of the House.

The timidity of the approach is what is bothersome. Ryan and his pals are positively neurotic about charges that, "millions of poor people will be tossed out," and "this program favors The Rich." Hence the perverse system of tax credits in excess of taxes paid. It's the hated EITC all over again!

The Right has done a terrible job of articulating why they think that ACA has been a failure, and, conversely, what they are offering in its place. For fuck's sake, their Program should be amenable to summarizing in a couple of paragraphs, so we, the American people, can decide whether we like it or not.

Cotton may be right. If the fuck this up, they could lose the House.

 

[rightwinger]

2018 will give the GOP the 60 vote majority.

It is possible

Unless Trump fucks up royally

Which is more likely?
