    Not anymore, GOP has congress and the WH. If they don't fix it then they own it.

    This charade will continue until the imposter in The White House is kicked out for his gangster Russian connections.

    Like I said, I didn't like it either. But I do think that if Obama wanted something, and the Dem leadership said to vote for it, the Dems in Congress would have voted for it (without knowing what was in it) like a bunch of trained monkeys. That isn't some deep, profound point.... just an observation.

    That's some fracking genius. They didn't write a line of it, but if they don't fix which was too ****ed up to fix, it's their fault? Because if they simply eliminated it, it's their fault. And if they change something it's they're fault.

    How about the TRUTH??? Obama wrote something unsustainable knowing in 8 yrs it didn't matter how ducked up it would be. Like kicking the nuclear can down the road.

    This is ALL on Obama and always will since he was the king creator and cheer leader of this entire monstrosity.

    Trump must realize that the only way to get "Great Healthcare" is the Public Option.

    Prog health insurance reigns in America. It has your nickname and err'thang. Bragging that your monstrously failed health care couldn't be changed will not be a great vote winner for you.

    Yes, yes they can! Simply move on to other more pressing issues and let the dems figure it out, besides they have assured the left and the right that the ACA is alive and well, so what's to fix, right?

    He does not care and does not even read. Remember? He does not even want lengthy intelligence briefings and just some crayon drawings will do nicely.

    At least this didn't cost Trillions like the ACA did. Talk about failure...

    Trump was forced to rely on others. What can he do? Write it, sign it and pass it all by himself? It's sort of illegal for him to do that, hehe.

    The bill sucked. Letting it fail was the intelligent thing to do. Not exactly a failure. It's a win. Signing a disastrous bill like Obama did was the failure.

    Wait a year (or less) when people are getting huge, surprising chunks taken out of their paychecks, or giant increases in their premiums through the mail. Paying for the poor might not seem like such a great idea.

    Plus they have 4 more years, minimum.

    Absolutely, PT.

    But according to his fans, Trump is truly an intellectual policy wonk in the Woodrow Wilson tradition.
