My source is no less than the top of Team Trump. Inner circle.
Team Trump was negotiating in good faith. I am told that twice Team Trump gave concessions only to have the HFC move the goalpost. These concessions were on the illegals and one other pretty significant item.
I did NOT hear anything about “preexisting conditions.” I think this was way, way beyond a reconciliation bill.
Alright thanks for responding.
As I suspected, the preexisting ban was not in consideration and truly no conservative can support that and still call any repeal an actual “repeal”. The preexisting ban is the very heart of Obamacare anything less is just the same socialist crap.
It’s as I predicted months ago, Trump would never substantively repeal Obamacare.
I think it was FreeReign who pointed out upthread that the FC were only given a few weeks to compare what Ryan proposed as “repeal” to the actual ACA law, and that’s why they kept coming back with more demands (because the ACA is so complex that it’s quite believable to say “we just discovered something else wrong that needs to go”). The ACA was over 20,000 pages it’s unreasonable to demand that every demand be discovered in the first comparison of the two.
If you’re in such an inner circle you need to tell Trump (or someone close to him to tell him) to quit listening to his son-in-law and Ryan and coalesce around the FC and other conservatives in Congress. Because his son-in-law didn’t get him elected the people who voted for conservative members in Congress did.
sorry but you’re full of it. you blindly tout trump without concern for what he even stands for.
