Eternal zombie life continues:
Senate Obamacare repeal vote unlikely next week
Republicans are reviewing possible changes to the bill and still don't have the votes to gut the health law.
By Burgess Everett and Josh Dawsey @ Politico.com, Updated 07/06/2017 02:55 PM EDT
Here's what I see at this point:
1) Big GOP fail, they look incompetent, they didn't do this right, even for their own base(s). Now they can't undo that without coming out with some miracle where the general consenus is better than Obamacare. Fat chance.
2) They screwed the rest of us by discouraging insurers from re-upping with Obamacare. It will look like Obamacare is on a path to fail for the next year. There's going to be a lot of agitation on this, really bad stories in the media about people in trouble, sick and untreated, uncovered. Those people may be the martyrs that eventually get us a better system. ( I am not flippant about this, I could very well end up being one of those martyrs, only a few years away from Medicare.)
3) I think the states that want the Medicaid money are going to end up getting it or close to it.

The Republican health bill is stuck in a valley of incoherence
Is 22 million more uninsured a moral blight? Evidence of freedom? Republicans disagree.

and today The Hill says: GOP pessimism rising on ObamaCare repeal
It behooves to keep in mind that a load of trouble is still coming over the next year for people on Obamacare if they do nothing, as damage has already been done with insurers backing out from the game.

No investment, but like grave robbers if they can do it in dead of night, they will. e.g. next week by this report. Beware.

Oh lordie, real zombie appearance involved now. Trump grants Pat Robertson (he's still there on CBN!!! not in a nursing home! must be a zombie!) an interview where he covers his ass with the "repeal Obamacare" right saying
I'll be very angry if the health bill fails
I suspect Trump thought he could get away with the liberal enemy media not paying any attention to CBN. SORRY, nope, they are replaying it on CNN as reporters on the hill breathlessly await release of version 10.7.832549.
Next up: how come you'll talk to zombie Pat Robertson and not to the rest of us? Afraid of real people?
