GOP is only after 'REPEAL AND REPLACE" with "REPEAL" being most important to them.

Otherwise, at this point they don't give a damn about who their bill helps or hurts. They can swallow "no tax cuts" because they can always cut taxes other ways. They simply can not lose the "REPEAL" meme.

That's what the public should understand and the Democrats should be helping them understand that. That goes to the "meanest" of the GOP like their exalted leader said.

Millions of people will be uninsured without Medicaid which most people have. Old and young. Are they not looking at the big picture. Tax cuts for the wealthy. But what about the millions of people who will die. All lives matter. But if this bill passes then lives don't matter. This is suppose to be a great country but now sad to say I don't see how great it is anymore when you would let millions of people not be able to get medical care and especially ones on fixed incomes or no incomes at all. Do they not realize that the reason why hospitals and clinics ERs are in business is because of sick people. I'm sure they will be some very empty buildings if this bill is passed. And all the ones that want to pass it do not have their health insurance being knocked from under their feet. And to say Medicaid does not give the best care but it helps where we need it. Some care is better than no care at all. So I hope that they can look into their hearts and realize what they are about to do will harm many people. As I said what type of America is this that would let millions of people go without healthcare. Those who are for this bill have ice water flowing through their veins. They are people without a heart. They are not true Americans . They are not what this country is suppose to stand for. I'm a American citizen and I can't ev n say I'm proud to b that anymore.

If "REPEAL" was most important, they would have done it already. There are enough Republicans who know that if they they destroy health care, their futures will be bleak.
