The House of Representatives just passed S. Con. Res. 3, the budget resolution that is the first step in repealing Obamacare. As we reported in the wee hours Thursday morning, the Senate version of the bill passed with a 51 to 48 margin. In the House, legislation passed 277-198 just minutes ago.
The budget measure instructs the House and Senate to begin work on drafting repeal legislation.
Now is when "budget reconciliation" comes into play; the ability to pass a repeal bill with a simple majority rather than a super majority. It is by that method that the Affordable Care Act was passed in the first place. Fitting.
Committees now get to work drafting repeal legislation, which has a deadline of January 27th.

I have one possible issue with this. Would it be better if Tom Price was in place before they do this since he has been against Obamacare from the beginning?

I agree.
This vote was about getting the money ready for Price to reintegrate into the Budget, but it sure isn't titled that way.
The GOP better come up with a replacement plan ASAP. Otherwise, they will own this disaster.

Nooo, it doesn't need replacing, it just needs to be removed altogether.
Commiecare did nothing but hinder the free mkt insurance industry. What's needed is even fewer restrictions on the mkt.
All it was, was a govt insurance plan, one designed to destroy the rest of the mkt, in turn forcing the overall collapse of the mkt and forcing everyone into the govt plan.
Nah, it doesn't need replacement, just removal.

Exactly! The only thing that changed, was the price went up across the board, and still millions were without insurance.

I think the Dims are only just now starting to realize this.
We'll know the left gets it when they claim to take the high road and work with Trump. :rolleyes:
You know that will be the narrative, that stopping their trashing of Trump is somehow being the bigger person.

I love that they're moving to their rightful place of sitting on the sidelines and throwing poo at us producers. Liberals desperately need us productive people in society so they can maintain their lifestyles. Let them go a day without Starbucks and posting on their Apple Macbooks about the horrors of capitalism and their precious little realities would melt away.

Can you imagine a lib 6 years out, and still using the same Iphone? Then it breaks and then he finds out there's a line for a new obama phone provided solely by the govt, any other purchase is punishable by law. :biggrin:

"When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people," Yeltsin wrote.
It's kind of funny, people living under communism have trouble grasping free mkt concepts.
Take for example, business production is controlled via a free mkt, where competition controls production, too many producers equates to lower prices, not enough leads to competition and more producers As opposed to govt picking winners and losers and in the end, everyone is a loser with higher prices and reduced quality.
The free mkt is a funny animal, where it always seeks out the least path of resistance and everyone is happy.
