Pence: Obamacare Repeal Will Happen By End Of Summer
Source: Talking Points Memo
CLEVELAND (AP) Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday reiterated a promise to repeal former President Barack Obamas health care reforms by the end of the summer despite uncertainty over whether a Republican bill has enough votes to pass the Senate.
In a speech delivered at a Cleveland manufacturing facility, Pence defended the bill, saying its measures to expand health savings accounts and create tax credits would make insurance more affordable. He said the legislation would cut costs for businesses and give states flexibility to tailor Medicaid programs to local needs.
(President Donald Trump) believes in state-based solutions, not one-size-fits-all Washington answers, Pence said.

(23,307 posts)The repukes are circling the wagons over the holiday and maybe doling out Russian money for 2018 re-election to ensure that all the stragglers fall in line. They'll trot out some talking point that the problems with the DeathCare bill have been resolved and that'll be that. They ALWAYS fall in line. And, since we haven't done jack to get Putin out of our elections, the deck is being stacked as we speak.
as noted, they ALWAYS fall in line, and will until this country WTFU and stops indulging right wing fuck wittery.

(12,448 posts)They just keep moving the goalposts. Time will not be kind to them, though, as more people see what a toxic load of manure that bill is. They'll never reconcile the far right teabags with the center rights. Even Dump knows that; he seems to have given up on the possibilities of passing ANY health care bill.

(12,647 posts)I don't think Schumer can keep Manchin and some of the others in line if it's at least possible most of their states can keep an illusion of the ACA in place for the vocal "RscCC" and White-Flight Suburbanites.
A half-dozen in the Senate, and they can pass a re-imaged ACA. House won't do anything, because then they can claim victory in "killing Obamacare".
