Please give me a break. All this whining over something that hasn't happened.
Not like Trump said there would be no replacement. Give me a freaking break with all the whining and crying and fear tactics. The sky is not falling.

How dare anyone prepare for the inevitable disasters he and his GOP buddies are going to bring to this country! That'd be insulting to Dear Leader.

It must be just a coincidence they didn't want the CBO to score the Obamacare repeal...

One can always count on the MtnViewVoice to scream out the liberal B.S. side of any issue.
Why can't they wait and see, urge the people to contact their congress folk and submit their ideas, Pro or Con this issue.

I'd rather close the barn door before the horse has bolted, especially when the health and safety of my family and community are at risk. Sorry I offended your Dear Leader.

Hilarious that all the people complaining are from "another community" or "Another Mountain View Neighborhood." [Portion removed due to disrespectful comment or offensive language]
Sorry your boy lost so badly here in California. Better luck next time!

I pay an exorbitant amount for unuse-able, gender and age inappropriate coverage. Let us control what we need. And stop the waste and excessive hospital executive salaries and benefits.

I like the idea of pay-as-you-go. My cellphone is on a PAYG plan. I cut the cable TV cord and I'm on Sling. I save a lot of money by only paying for what I need. Why isn't healthcare the same way? I'm healthy. I exercise. I eat well. I should not be penalized for making good choices. Instead, I pay into a monthly plan at work with coverage that I do not need or want.
