Trump is president not because some hard core right wing conservatives in Texas voted for him. He’s president because he flipped some Obama voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Those guys are not red meat conservatives. They Voted Obama.
They voted Trump this time because he said he’d repeal and replace (YES, IT WAS BOTH, LOOK IT UP) and he said he’d build a wall. They don’t give a damn about RINO GOP or staunch conservative GOP. They don’t care about GOP at all. They have been screwed and Trump was the only one who told them he would start to unscrew them.
TRUMP IS AND NEVER WAS A CONSERVATIVE. He’s a populist and he is why Hillary is not there. The GOP conservatives couldn’t even get the nomination, let alone beat Hillary.
Trump saved you from her. It’s time to stand with him.
And these are the ones who are going to turn around and vote for Democrat candidates in House and Senate elections all across America in 2018 if their insurance premiums are even one penny higher in 2018 than they are in 2017.

Sure there is. Reduce the Medicare eligibility age to 50. That will put a huge cohort of people on a government-run plan that reduces cost simply by setting its own rates for medical procedures.
P.S. -- I don't give a sh!t about Obamacare one way or another, so it's easy for me to "stand with Trump" on this one. After my own medical insurance disaster last year I figured out a way to get an Obamacare exemption and worked around the system myself. Personally, it wouldn't matter to me if insurance premiums tripled every month for the next two years, or if every insurer went out of business tomorrow.
The replace is replace with HSA and free market principles like competition across state lines.
I am giving you a standing ovation, my FRiend! That should be required reading for everyone!
Anything is better than what we have now. </br></br> We need bills more rapid fire. This is 2017 and I would think they could be passing bills a little faster than this. Why not do more than one thing every month. Lets get the goverment on the agile system.

Valid points @ 31, but for a populist, Trump has been far more conservative than the usual crowd that tries to be more conservative than the next.
With that said, we need to stand with him and demand the changes he claims are coming in part 2 and part 3. He has kept his promises. This bill has problems, but we have to start somewhere so for the time being I will trust the man. He has earned that much.
Much of the angst over this bill has been created by the media efforts to make it sound like the party is imploding. The GOP has problems, but it won’t implode over this and the idea that one bill will fix everything that is broken is unrealistic to me.
Trump is going to own this and given his competitive nature, he won’t settle for failure. Just my .02

Trump has a lot of poewr, but does need to get people in who will look out for the costs, not build empires. And cut the $5-20 billion a year the us.gov sends to ABC/CBS/NBC, Google, the phone company, Facebook. Spying on everybody isn’t helpful. Keeping transcripts on all people for all phone conversations is chilling to political discourse.
