Ok guy. This bill was pulled because of conservatives. It had nothing to do with the people that showed up at townhalls.

You honestly don't know how many people called their reps and in doing that, changed their vote?

Power to the people.

the American health care system is immoral, we need single payer
-
why would that be good?
-
because every other industrialized country in the world has it and it works!
-
which ones? How exactly does it work so well?
-
Canada, UK, France, Germany, etc...Not having to pay for out of pocket and it's for all
-
whatever...nothing is free and someone has to pay for it
-
you're right - I'll gladly pay higher taxes so everyone has healthcare even if they disagree
-
thats your choice but if its a law for all, Congress should use it too, but they don't

it's a major victory for conservatives too....we don't want that garbage either.

True conservatives acknowledge the facts: Singlepayer would get us more care for less $$$. Only fiscally responsible choice.
-
competition is only market asset that will keep costs down. Big govt is inefficient. Corrupt.
-
But in countries with singlepayer, they pay less and get better results. How do you explain that?http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2015/oct/us-health-care-from-a-global-perspective …

If our marketplace and profit-driven system was truly superior, surely we'd have better care and pay less than other countries.

I disagree. This vote failed only due to the right wanting harder cuts. The left did not stop this vote.
-
I dunno, some definitely flipped because constituent calls put the fear of God into GOP and stiffened Dem spines.
-
Maybe to a point. Seems that the freedom caucus did not support it because it didnt go far enough. Fear of their donors more likely.
-
True, but even libertarians have a hard time selling "let more people die" to their constituencies.
-
100% agree. The voters are definitely waking up to hiw terrible this bill is. I just dont know if thats the reason, atleast this time around
-
Hopefully if the bill gets worse and comes up again the moderates will have to turn away because of the reasons you stated.
