Ryan delivers bad news to Trump on health care

Speaker Paul Ryan's visit to the White House is not to deliver good news, according to a GOP source. The efforts on Capitol Hill to sway members is ongoing, but things aren't heading in the right direction.

Anything not good for Paul Ryan = GOOD for the average citizen

I see no end to the winning. so much winning.

Funny how you just don't see the same level of trump supporters on these comment sections defending him anymore 😂😂it's starting to sink in I think

[gamesaq]

maybe now ppl would work together to fix the ACA rather than make things worse

[michaelparker]

The self proclaimed greatest negotiator has failed again.

[KevinRusso]

Great news. Any Trump loss is a win for America.

[MobileDecay]

Everytime Trump fails I feel a sigh of relief. Hopefully he fails at everything he does so America can be at least semi stable. He should just go on a 4 year golfing trip.

Obamacare good, Trumpcare bad. Figures because Obama good, Trump bad.

Now is the perfect time for the opposition to go on every network to push for single-payer health care, or *at least* a public option. It won't pass during this session, but it would undeniably signal to voters who's really on our side. But the Democrats are too enthralled with all of that sweaty corporate money, so this will be yet another missed opportunity for them.

This isn't bad news for Trump. He doesn't care in the slightest about healthcare one way or the other, he just wants to check it off his list so he can move on to "making deals", as he calls it, so he can crow about how wonderful he is.

Trump's plan is a bad one, and bringing negotiations to a halt with so much pushback currently being given is a terrible idea. I think that Trump's current course of action is setting him up to have a group to point the finger at when he fails at this. Shifting blame won't change a thing, but he'll have protected his ego. These guys apparently now realized talk is very cheap. Some things are apparently easier said than done.

... and the American working class breathe a sigh of relief..

[RichardBuckerCodes]

read between the lines.... [a] the GOP got it wrong and was too stubborn to admit it. [b] the people who voted for trump just realized that obamacare was the ACA and it's working for them....

So now what?

I know... fix the parts of the ACA that need fixing.

When reached for comment Speaker Ryan said, "I will take full responsibility and apologize to Lord Vader."

[zaqvoir]

the "president" giving an ultimatum to america's lawmakers was an extremely dumb thing to do.

[Kerkopes]

Leave healthcare for the next President, who will be here in 4 years.

[CdnPoli]

This is Trump's opportunity to fire Paul Ryan.

[kevinalonso]

This would be a blow for republicans even if it passed because people on the right would realize that their party doesn't give a shit about them, but the consequences would be terrible for too many so better if it doesn't pass, definitely.
