One Month In - is Obamacare still around? [Vanity]

Just starting a discussion on the PROMISED repeal. My prediction was that if is wasn't repealed in the first month, it would NEVER be repealed, just tinkered with.

Not only will Obamacare not be repealed, but neither will DACA.

Yes, it is. I am now on two health insurance policies through their stupid, evil government plan - and I’m being threatened with the IRS for being on no plan. If you can figure that out, please let me know. I’ve got calls into my senators, my congressmen and my lawyer.

Trump has been President for 1 month today. The media is in a tizzy because he hasn’t passed major legislation. What a joke.

I would rather have well thought out plans that are fair and accomplish something than quick plans that are a disaster. Obama’s quick stimulus plan was a disaster.

It is up to us to keep the pressure on the republican congress to get tax cuts and to get rid of Obamacare.

It's not entirely up to DJT.Apart from the Rat Party's treasonous attitude toward everything (including ObamaCare) there's cowardice in more than a few Republicans *and* the fact that the Rats inserted hundreds (if not thousands) of "hand grenades" into the bill.

Remember Gruber's admission...that the Rats were depending on the stupidity of the American people to get this piece of cesspool sludge passed.

One month is too much to expect...six months might not be...and one year most assuredly isn't.

I don’t know how they can not deliver on this.....

To outright repeal it would be a bludgeon to beat them over the head with..the endless tales of woe.

Have the things from it they want to keep ready to go, and submit repeal bill with these items as their replace item and push it. Let’s see in a few weeks.

Sometimes things take longer then we might expect. But I would say that in a couple of months then we have a serious problem

I disagree. There are already steps to repeal it. It is happening while you were typing.

Trump is not a dictator. Much of Obamacare has to do with funding, and spending $$ is Congress’ job.

I am confident Obamacare repeal is coming. I only hate the political talk of “replace.” How do you replace fascism and crony-capitalism with more fascism? You don’t. Obamacare should be replaced with - NOTHING

Allow the free market to work! Allow me to pay my doctor in cash, with rates that I can approve myself.

Obamacare happened for a reason. The GOP has absolutely no intention of repealing Obamacare unless they can replace it, and they have no idea about how to do that.

So, Secretary Price was sworn in 10 days ago. Since 4 of those 10 days have been weekends, The HHS secretary has been in office 6 days.

Maybe people should lay off Trump for a couple of months before they start screaming Quagmire.

Meet reality - there are millions who were strong-armed into Obamacare and who will suffer because of it if the rug is yanked in one fell swoop. Want to see the opposition gain some traction against Trump - open the door for millions of stories where folks got screwed - again, only by a different Admin.

Lots of folks choose to ignore all the winning and promise keeping so they can join the Left in bitching about President Trump.

I wouldn’t sweat Obamacare repeal. It is sooo broken anyway that it will repeal itself. We are headed to HSAs because there are no alternatives.

As of Trump's Executive Order, you no longer need to have 0care, as the IRS (the only enforcement body) has publicly stated they will not asses coverage requirements.

However, because we have a stupid Republican Congress, the rest of the infrastructure is still in place.

Go throw your anger at McConnell and Ryan—not Trump. Trump doesn't even have a Cabinet, yet.

Trump signed an EO that basically gutted the IRS part of Obamacar. He needs to wait on Congress to pass a bill before he can sign a full repeal. They ar working on it.

Yup. FWDude seems to be one.

1 month and without a Cabinet or other help from Congress or the Courts. Trump's doing what he can, while the media and fake Trump supporters run around with their heads cut off, acting aggrieved.

Media?

Just listen to the dullards on sites like this.

Everyone wants (ISSUE X) done RIGHT NOW or else something is “wrong”.

Most of them have yet to pick up a phone and lobby their rep or senator, just some idea that Trump is supposed to wave a magic wand while they are kicked back in their recliner.
