I couldn't keep up with the debate toward the end, especially regarding who was asking for what etc.
What concessions did the FC double-cross the president on?
I’ll try to help.
First, elimination of all Zerocare taxes
That was done. Then they wanted more.
Second, a rewrite so it was only a repeal only, and then a replacement plan sometime in the future, approved by the FC
More. Third, eliminate ‘essential health care services’
More. Fourth, revoke Title 1 (kick off pre-existing and kick the kids off the parents’ policies) Trump puts his foot down on this. NO.
More. Fifth, Promise from Trump to repeal administratively as many Zerocare regs as he could.
More. Sixth - sweetheart concessions to the reps’ states
More. Seventh - we changed our minds, back to complete repeal - which brought the Trump ultimatum.
We’re voting no.
Cheerleaders behind the scenes: Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Koch Bros (promised 400million but only for those who voted against the bill)
