The Hill had to revise their initial posting because it was grossly in error.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Get the government completely OUT of healthcare!!
I was unaware there were any “popular parts” to the Obamacare bill. I was of the impression the whole damned thing was to be repealed, reversed, eliminated, assassinated, wiped out, creamed, desecrated, whatever out of existance.
Are the Republican’s dragging butt?
I wish I could call Rep Cantor on the phone about this. I don’t understand the strategy.
Seems to me nobama would veto any bill that modifies his precious deathcare bill (unless, of course, the proposal makes it even more onerous).
Likewise, nobama will likely veto any “Republican” health care bill submitted to him.
The Republicans do not have even close to a veto proof majority. So, how will they do this?
Looks to me like defunding will be much more efficient.
No ecxclusion for pre-existing conditions? Then why not just wait and get the insurance after you KNOW you’re gonna need it?
“and a stipulation that allows young people to remain on their parents’ insurance plans until age 26.”
When I was 26 I was a police officer, a father of two and a husband for 8 years. WTF is wrong with young people today?
Try as I might, I fail to be able to put my finger on that part of the Constitution which provides them the right to implement even these “popular” (or is that populist) mandates.
“offering young people affordable care options”
...I just voted and volunteered for this yokel. This is completely unnacceptable and he knows it! I voted for COMPLETE repeal! Government gone from healthcare! Why is this happening?
THese dumb-asses are only going to change the name from ObamaCare to RinoCare. Nothing good will come of it.
Defund Obama’s entire Marxist agenda.
If there’s any bitching....start defunding the EPA, Dept. of Education....etc.
Let the commies aka Demoncrats and the State Run Media wail and cry like they always do.
You pu$$y Republicans either stop this Communist coup now or the people will have to do it later.
The only chance for any unity of purpose is complete repeal. As soon as they decide to do it piecemeal, they’ll never agree on which parts. It’s a formula for failure.
I still don’t like what I hear. Keep the popular parts and get rid of the unpopular parts is a recipe for bigger deficits and more onerous regulation of insurers—which ultimately will lead to less insurers. Cantor better be willing to make some unpopular decisions—like stopping Medicare cost increases. The Dem method of price controls won’t work but Cantor better have a workable conservative solution.
But companies shouldn't be forced to pay for insurance for 26 year old dependents.
Sounds like good parts to keep to me.
The House nd Senate republicans wanted the HC bill to pass, and they really don’t want to repeal the damn thing. They are mostly all socialists.

For months I’ve been comparing the pre-existing conditions element in the bill to the government requiring that fire insurers sell fire insurance on a house even if it was already on fire. Apparently that is a good analogy because Rush Limbaugh used it today.
