Ignore the grandstanding on Capitol Hill and the noise coming from town-hall protests around the nation. The Republican bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare will boost your chances of getting a job and cut your tax bill, not to mention your insurance costs.
The repeal bill — called the American Health Care Act — also will stave off a tidal wave of future Medicaid spending that threatens to drown the states and Uncle Sam in red ink. Here’s how.
No more penalties. If you’re among the 8 million people getting whacked with a tax penalty for not enrolling in an overpriced ObamaCare plan, the repeal bill is good news. The federal government will no longer compel you to buy insurance.
The repeal bill also cancels penalties on employers. ObamaCare forced all but the smallest employers to provide a benefits package far costlier than what they had been offering prior to the reform. Employers then passed these costs onto workers, raising deductibles by 50 percent on about 155 million people. . .

No it won’t.
The mandate hasn't been removed, Betsy. The bill merely reduces the penalty for failure to obtain health insurance to $0, which any future Congress can raise.
If passed (in its current form) it will definitely boost the number of ‘RATS winning elective office “jobs” in 2018 & 2020. So, yes, ‘RAT jobs will be boosted...much to our nation’s detriment.
Yeah, Right,

More Gang of 8 style lies, lies by omission and half truths. This doesn’t help their cause. Of course she doesn’t mention the 30% increase in premium if you haven’t maintained continuous coverage, etc., etc.
A quick and harsh reply by Trump saying “get back to work” should occur.
Not when the country is completely insolvent.
Which it will be in about eight more years, according to the CBO. 100% of the federal budget will have to be spent on unconstitutional socialist "entitlement" programs, and interest on the debt. Not a single dime left over for any legitimate function of government, including defense.
If this was a good bill the GOPe wouldn’t have to lie about what is in it, eliminate amendments, etc. Huge red flags all over the place here. We’ve seen this beltway movie before.
oh my goodness. wow i was wrong about her.
Betsy goes RYNO.
The President and Congress need to step outside and feel which way the wind is blowing. This is not what we voted for in November.
Good article.
It's a load of happy crap and outright lies. Betsy ought to be ashamed of herself for writing it.
You need to read JimRob's editorial on the RINOcare bill. The thing is DOA, and just as big a swindle as the Gang of Eight amnesty bill.
Nice try Compost, no go, FAIL
Betsy has jumped the shark.
I heard it will whiten my teeth and cure my flatulance too!
