not ganna happen with mavericks in the senate

It just tells me 3 of the 52 Republicans are not truly Republican's if they can't even vote for the watered down version of the repeal bill.

Very sad state of affairs we are in, but you can't blame the other 49 because 2 of their colleagues are liberal and the third one from Arizona has been drifting to the left for years.

Republicans have enough trouble gaining a majority in Congress, and recent history has shown they are clueless as to what to do with it once they have it.

Even if they can get something passed in the senate I'm not sure you can get the house to agree to whatever the Senate wants.

To that I must agree.

The 2018 Senate election takes place on November 6, 2018. There are 34 expected seats up in 2018, of which 25 are held by Democrats. The Dem's will have a very hard time winning all 25 plus 3, in spite of the Republicans lack of ability to govern.

Exactly!
They have the power but lack a collective backbone.

Really? Murkowski Sr. and Murkowski-daughter have been Republicans since the beginning of their political careers. Drifting to the left? Goodness gracious, McCain has been a maverick since he started his political career. Collins? She is from Maine. It sounds like you are ignorant in your knowledge of the political history of these three Senators.

Apparently some major political party didn't think that they were going to have to actually back up their promise to repeal and replace. If 7 years isn't enough to come up with an alternative plan, I suppose these Bozo's should be failing.

My thoughts on this situation.

Back when he was a candidate for President, Trump he made the mistake of not knowing the history of P.O.W's, of military POW's & specifically John McCain when he was a POW for years of Vietnam and belittling the fact that he had become a POW in an off the wall & unwise remark. I think that McCain never got over those hurt feelings and has since been out to go against anything that Trump put forward. Though I am a Trump supporter now, I think one of his failings maybe that he has not apologized to McCain. Now since learning about the importance of the military, the history of the military and now getting behind the military  he still has not made things right with McCain,

McCain should have retired years ago but I think he's still harboring a grudge against  Trump & now he's done the wrong thing for the American public when he could have done the right thing and all over a petty grudge. This was done after campaigning to repeal & replace Obamacare.

IMO....McCain has in an act of vengeance, smeared his own good name among conservatives who put him forth as a candidate for the very office Trump won.

The funny part is if three Democrats had stopped Obamacare you would have hailed them as heroes. Every Representative and Senator should vote their conscience. The idea you must align with the party even when you believe it is wrong doesn't make sense.

Trump's campaign promise on healthcare:

No one will lose coverage. There will be insurance for everyone. Healthcare will be a "lot less expensive for everyone-the government, consumers, providers.

When Trump can produce a plan that matches his promises then he will have no problem getting Republican and Democrats to vote for it.

Yesterday in England, Charlie Gard dies as his parents lose their fight with England's nationalized healthcare. Yesterday in America the Senate (John McCain) votes forcing us to keep Obamacare. A totally unrelated fact: over 70% of the Senate's premiums are paid by the gubmit....meaning the taxpayers.

I had no idea you had the spiritual gift of reading minds, especially mine.

When considering McCain................follow the money. He got paid off to breach his campaign promise. Typical politician.

A few days ago Tucker Carlson or Hannity (not sure which) did an interview with Vice President Pence in which they asked Pence why Trump didn't abolish the rule that Congress is exempt from the same rules of Obamacare that the American people are under.  Pence didn't give a direct answer but implied that the President had that authority.  If so President Trump should immediately do that.  If congress worked and lived under the same rules we have to then many things we have to put up with would vanish immediately.

McCain ran for re-election on repealing Obamacare...as did Murkowski, who has written multiple op-eds denouncing ACA. They both voted for repeal in 2016...when they knew it would be vetoed. Like Obama and the Dems, they are liars and hypocrites on this issue.

Incorrect, they are for the repeal - just not the method, btw where were you when Rand Paul and Cruz were about to vote against the other "repeal" bill

The so called 'skinny repeal' bill included exactly what they have both claimed they wanted in the past...when they simply used the issue for political cover.
And,I'm not in the habit of protesting 'about to vote' instances.
