US Senate agrees to debate scrapping Obamacare.

Published

on



The US Senate has narrowly voted to begin a debate on a bill to end the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.

With the Senate deadlocked on 50-50, Vice-President Mike Pence used his tie-breaking vote.

Scrapping the policy was a key Trump campaign pledge.

Senator John McCain, who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer, turned up to cast his “yes” vote.

President Trump had earlier warned Republican senators that there may be repercussions if they didn’t push through the measures.

    The entire world should shut themselves off from the USA and isolate the country because they are in-human and full of hate and violence. They have more violence in their top 10 cities (not political/religious) then the ENTIRE rest of the world.

    You know, if we got welfare under control, and stopped paying women to pump out more kids essentially, along with getting all the health adults that don't even bother trying to work because they get welfare off of it, we could probably afford health care for most/all of America's lower class.

    But we can't do that, because dems need their slaves.

    Your promised healthcare with Obamacare, so when you actually get sick sick you go see a doctor. Heres what they dont tell you. Most doctors dont accept medicaid, find one that does and your appointment gets booked out a month to three months down the road. In that time your sickness-wether its cancer or something just as serious begins to spread exponentially. By the time your diagnosed and begun treatments Obamacare has saved itself 200,000 to 2 million cause your gonna die due to a late diagnosis and treatment regimen. Heres the sad part, your gonna thank him for setting the stage for your early demuse. Yep Obamacare is great!

    Perhaps trump has figured out the difference between health insurance and life insurance by now.

    This travesty proves that Republicans will always work in the interest of the rich and powerful. This move to scrap Obamacare without a better plan in place will hurt millions of Americans. Shame on congress and shame on Trump.

    I had no problem with "obamacare" other than the forced tax on those who chose not to buy into a system that they couldn't afford or even need. By not buying health insurance over the years, I remained able to actually buy food. For the most part, health insurance alone would have cost even more than I was paid for much of my life.

    Sadly I'm not the richest person. My mother has MS (Multiple Sclerosis). It currently has no cure. All they do is give her medicine to disable the disease temporarily. It costs a shot ton of money, and Obama care helped us stay right in between the spoiled sad, and the poor sad.

    My families health insurance rates did NOT go down $2,500 like Obama said.
    My families health insurance rates have TRIPLED!
    Old company is gone, old plan is gone, and my wife's doctor retired early.
    I hate being FORCED to pay for other peoples irresponsibility.

    "Nobody knew health care was so complicated". He said that. Into a microphone. The guy is literally dumb as a box of rocks. Seriously.

    Obamacare helped the people who were out for the worst, but makes no sense for the majority of the population. My well-being is meaningless compared to so many who seriously rely on the service.

    It's basically a continuation of the Republican majority congress the past 7 years. Nothing new, just all talk, naturally.
