Four GOP Senators Threaten Obamacare Repeal Effort

. . .

Republicans are not counting on any Democratic support for their plan to undo Obama’s signature legislation. So Senate Republicans, with a 52-member majority, can only afford to have two Republicans vote against the plan.

and not kill or fuck over millions of Americans.

But they arent, they will oppose this bill until one which does MORE harm to us comes along.

Or they will approve this bill which will take healthcare away from THIRTY MILLION by 2022...

Manchin: I'll help GOP 'repair' Obamacare

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said Thursday that he has contacted Republican leaders offering to help bring fellow Democrats on board for fixes to Obamacare that he portrayed as "repair" of the existing system rather than the GOP-touted replacement.

Manchin has told GOP leaders that he's "happy to sit down with you to see if we can find a pathway forward," he told his home state's MetroNews radio station on Thursday. Before his election in 2010, Manchin added, Democrats passed Obamacare "with no bipartisan support. Last night, my Republican friends and colleagues, with no Democrats, voted 51 [to 48] to throw it out. To fix it, it's going to take 60."
