GOP Sen. Not Optimistic Senate Will Approve O’care Replacement This Year
-
Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) on Thursday indicated that he’s not optimistic about the Senate’s chances to pass a comprehensive bill to repeal and replace Obamacare this year.
“I don’t see a comprehensive health-care plan this year,” he told North Carolina television station WXII 12 News.
Burr also said that the House bill is “dead on arrival” in the Senate.
The senator’s comments come after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said last week that he’s not sure how the Senate will pass an Obamacare repeal bill.
“I don’t know how we get to 50 at the moment,” he told Reuters. “But that’s the goal.”

Even though I posted a video thoroughly explaining this yesterday, it seems to have eluded you.
When a bill passes in the house, it is sent to the senate - where the whole process starts over again. So, in essence, all bills that arrive at the Senate's doorstep are DOA. They rework them - which I would admit is a silly process, but that is how it works. Reagan was famous for wanting a "line item veto" in which the President could veto just certain parts of legislation before signing it. That would give tremendous power to the President and was not enacted.
Of course it will be tough to get a bill through the Senate. You know that not one of the libtard Democrats will vote for it because no matter what is in the bill, they will vote NO because they are the party of NO and very tightly unified. Although the republicans have the majority in the Senate, there are a few flakey republican senators who withhold their support on bills to blackmail the country to get specific changes to the bill that benefit their own state.
Meanwhile, the democrats are offering NO input on how to fix the failed disaster known as Obamacare. Obamacare is already dead. Insurers have abandon it en masse. Some have suggested that they should just let Obamacare fade away, and not replace it with anything. That might actually be the best solution. Socialism and communism haven't been particularly successful in these areas. I can think of one exception to that. Communist Cuba has a great health care system. The reason for that is that they are a dictatorship.. and they control the healthcare industry with an iron fist. Doctors don't get to be multi-mega-millionaires in Cuba. People can't sue for mega millions in malpractice cases in Cuba.So, once again.. as always.. you have made an ass of yourself Dr Withering Ass.
