Disaster? No - it’s still better than Obamacare and a decent start. But if this doesn’t pass, it probably prevents tax reform and regulatory reform as well. Best chance is to pass this, move on to tax and regulatory reform and then revisit this bill after Republicans pick up more Senate seats in 2018.
For starters, it forces Vets into the VA system. That is not better nor is excluding Christian Healthcare ministries.
Wow, you just stated why we the American public always wind up the losers. We vote the GOP in with "we'll repeal and replace" and then it's not enough of a win to do it. I don't blame Trump one bit for this - this is the sole ownership of congress. 7 years of moaning, speeches, and every other complaint and nothing to show for it but a typical Washington, screw the public, band-aid.
And you're for it?
