I’m missing something here. Is Meadows an HFC member who went full RINO?
Meadows is a backstabber. He was on Hannity last week saying he was very close to supporting the Ryan bill and only had a small list of demands. His demands were included in the bill between Thursday and Friday and he still opposed it.
Great article.
I would hope that at least a few of the crap sandwich defenders in this forum would reconsider their position, based on the arguments contained therein.
I doubt it though. What I see are the same GOPe supporting cast doing nothing but attack conservatives, constitutionalists and other Patriots. Moreover, there seems to be zero argumentation from most of these folks. They simply want AHCA passed without debate. And if they can’t have that, some of them think we should embrace single payer. Seeing this argued on FR is unbelievable.
He’s just not smart enough to know that Trump is playing 9D Chess on this one /s
He stood with Ryan on this.
All the absurd 8D Chess, You Magnificent Bastard, He’s Independent, He’s a Businessman, it’s smoke and mirrors.
NO> He could have publicly stated he would campaign against RINOs. But he didn’t.
He’s done a lot of good things. But it seems he might be ok with using middle class money to fund healthcare for the lazy/illegal.
“And why was Meadows so credulous to take Paul Ryan seriously when he said the better way to deal with pre-existing conditions was to fund state high-risk pools instead of mandating the destruction of the entire market?”
this is just dumb. The reason for the individual mandate is because the pre-existing conditions cannot be refused coverage.
Funding high risk pools and pulling pre-existing conditions out of the rest of the market will reduce the premiums for the rest of the market, and the mandate is no longer required.
No, they do not.

How do you have an overwhelming majority and not be able to pass a Bill this important?
Why not start with the repeal bill that they’ve passed multiple times (50 or so?) If you push that and it fails, then you tried to get repeal. At that point, most conservatives would be willing to compromise to move the ball in the right direction.
But this bill was as if you’re on your own 2 yard line and they’re proposing a play that will gain inches. Then they want you to treat it as the game winning touchdown. And if you say it’s a bad play, well, you must want the other team to win.
