I don't understand all the celebrating here on DU - acting like the Trump-NonCare

is dead. It has only been postponed.

McConnell is putting the vote off until after July 4th. In other words, so he will have time

to do some serious arm-twisting.

Senators saying they will not vote for it, blah, blah, blah are pulling a John McCain - all talk but fall in line when it is time to actually vote.

If and when it is truly defeated, I will be one of the first to rejoice. Until then I'll stick to calling my Senator, etc.

4. We just won one battle; it's not dead yet

The villains didn't pull MurderCare permanently--they only delayed it a couple of weeks so they can sneak even more cruel and diabolical things in this bill behind the backs of the American people and try to sweeten the pot by giving moderates a bone too small for even a Chihuahua puppy!

7. Something is going to have to be done to shore up the ACA from uncertainty created by GOPers.

There is going to have to be some kind of legislation pretty soon.

8. Will it ever be "defeated" while they control everything?

Or will they keep bringing up Trumpcare versions until they have one that will pass. Just a matter of time?

9. united

United front, we need to pursue this further. 2018 must MUST be the turn in the road we are looking for. We MUST take the majority in the Senate. The house may be lost, but we MUST MUST MUST take the majority in the senate. We need to have control of the Senate committees, the confirmations, the impeachment trials.... get this message out to all voters that this healthcare bill will kill people you love. Insist that your reps answer for this. Get to the town halls and do not let them talk their way out of it....

10. Even when it is truly dead, our fight has just begun. After that we need to

fight against the sabotaging of Obamacare.
