“We're in this room today to deliver on our promise to the American people to repeal Obamacare and to ensure that they have the health care that they need,” President Trump told Republican senators at a White House luncheon on Wednesday.

“We have no choice. We have to repeal and replace Obamacare.”

Trump said Republicans are “so close” to getting the job done, even without a single vote from Democrats:

"The way I looked at it, we have no Democrat help. They're obstructionists. That's all they're good at is obstruction. They have no ideas. They've gone so far left, they're looking for single-payer, that's what they want."

"But single-payer will bankrupt our country, because it's more than we take in for just health care. So single-payer is never going to work, but that's what they'd like to do. They have no idea what the consequence will be, and it will be horrible, horrible health care, where you'll wait on line for weeks to even see a doctor."

Trump clearly understand this mess .
His aides are delusion and clues-less about amnesty and refugees and H1 Visas.
He needs to stop the Javanka and Cohn about the cheap labor express love-feast .

We have a government that can issue unlimited debt, in a totally fiat, unbacked currency, often monetized by the Federal Reserve, at manipulated interest rates.

Just to be clear, single-payer and all other leftist social engineering schemes based on such flimsily financing won’t necessarily bankrupt the government - but they will make the huge majority of Americans poor, and a very few insiders quite rich.

"Single-payer will bankrupt our country..."

And he's absolutely right.

I wish I could remember which poster kept goading me (during the campaign) about Trump and single payer. He/she swore that was Trump’s plan and goal. It was very irksome.

“We have no choice. We have to repeal and replace Obamacare.” Wrong. We have a choice:
Keep the absurdity as it is, tweak some of the more disliked parts and rename it as the Trump Absurdity, Go for Single Payer, or repeal it and replace it with a new law that in one page removes the Federal Government from every facet of Medicine and Insurance beyond the Constitutionally required Guarantee of Weights and measures.

Only one choice is Constitutional.

Just to be clear, Trump said that it would bankrupt the "country", not the "government".

He is, of course, correct and Single Payer would also manage to actually KILL a whole LOT of people! Just look at what goes on in the UK with the NHS!

Healthcare costs inflated by collusion and price-fixing will bankrupt the country through Medicaid and Medicare.

John McCain is a veteran...so why doesn’t he use the Govt VA Medical “single payer” system instead of the private Mayo health clinic?

We know...and so does he.

....”But single-payer will bankrupt our country, because it’s more than we take in for just health care...

California wants to go single payer. It will cost the state
THREE TIMES what the total operating budget for the entire state is this year.

Lots of veterans have used private insurance.

The article linked below is a short, concise recap of how Obamacare was made law, written a few years ago by Brian Sussman, to serve as a collective reminder of how the conniving pukes planted the legislative roadside bomb known as the ACA of 2010...

Exactly. What’s happening to Charlie Gard would happen here.
