Things must be pretty bleak within the Republican party. After promising for SEVEN YEARS to REPEAL the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare), Senate Majority "Leader", Mitch McConnell, is now saying that Republican control of the HOUSE, the SENATE, and the WHITE HOUSE, is not as "sweet" as he thought it would be.
McConnell is now suggesting that Republicans work with Democrats to "shore up" ObamaCare, as it's looking less likely that ObamaCare Repeal-Replace, or straight Repeal, is going to happen...EVER.

"Shoring Up" ObamaCare is politically-correct slang for throwing Billions of ADDITIONAL Taxpayer Dollars to the Insurance Industry, year after year, in order to entice them back into the ObamaCare exchanges nationwide.
It's hard to believe that Mitch McConnell said this! (But he did.) Also, Democrat leaders say that they want to bail-out and prop-up the ObamaCare private insurance industry...the "EVIL and GREEDY" insurance industry. What's up with that? They hate the insurance industry!
ATS, if the Senate is unable to Repeal-Replace ObamaCare, are you for Congress directing billions of additional taxpayer dollars (YOUR dollars) to RESCUING the private health-insurance side of ObamaCare? (Medicaid is the government/public side. It's doing fine.)
As "wimpy" as Republicans are turning out to be this year, Senator Chuck Schumer might even compel them to enact a hybrid "Single Payer/Private Payer" model. There's no doubt that President Trump would be on-board with this, because, he has consistently spoken highly of these healthcare models in other countries. This hybrid system is what I prefer for America as well. (Republican impotence could be a good thing in this instance!)

As long as it isn't mandatory to have the insurance then they can do whatever they want, but I don't want to be forced to pay penalties on something I can't afford to begin with.
If this means a move towards what they have in the UK or Canada then that's a horse of a different color.

Good question! But i very much doubt its the insurance companies providing the bribes as its a losing venture for them.

Absolutely nothing will change until the costs of medical treatment are reigned upon.
When you need a new hip, and the cost in the USA is MORE than taking an extravagant 2 month vacation to Europe AND getting the hip replaced while on vacation....you do the math.
Insurance is the problem, NOT the solution.

If I was a republican voter i would be furious. There is no excuse for not having a repeal / replace bill ready to go. They have had 6+ years to figure this out. They have been running on "repeal obamacare" for years and this is what they have to show for it?
Its pathetic.

Republicans are dirtbag cowards.
Sure, democrats are freedom-hating Marxists, but the republicans are truly yellow-bellied cowards.
At this point, not sure who is worse.

Write your House/Senate representatives. Make your feelings known to them.
