Laws are supposed to originate in the house, except AHCA started in senate i think- it was all wrong from the very beginning. It was discussed during Supreme Ct ruling why not bring up that fact..... i am a little fuzzy on my memory.

How about adding all members of congress shall open their tax records and show how they made millions on their annual income. open up their family tax records as well. Also, since they bitch about the price of apartments and houses in the DC area, build military style housing for them. If its good enough for those who risks their lives, its good enough for these blood suckers.

This is John McCain.

This is John McCain's brain cancer on Obamacare.

Just take a pain pill.

Thanks to Capitol City’s notion of “wealth re-distribution” now we revisit the definition of “rebel”.

“I don’t even have health insurance anymore. I was forced to switch to a Christian Health Sharing plan. Because $2000 per month was completely unaffordable. I’m betting Democrats would call me “rich.” And I could not pay the bill anymore, because of Obamacare. So, I left traditional insurance as of January 1st.”

“My predicament means no middle-class family in America that buys their own insurance can afford the bill. It’s no wonder an upscale couple jumped to their death in Manhattan on Friday.”

“Let Obamacare fail’ President Trump

Not mentioned because it probably goes without saying, he should also sign another EO ordering the IRS to not enforce the act’s mandate: the penalty.

Why should those of us like Root who cannot afford health insurance, but aren’t `poor’ and subsidised—or exempt like the protected classes, particularly the `rat pols who passed this garbage or the GOP-e phonies who bellowed for seven years they would repeal it asap—why should we be taxed to subsidise these bums?
Our ancestors rebelled over a small tax on a beverage and postage stamps.

Good article probably accurate but it will never happen. They will always weasel out of it.

Unless Trump goes to war with them and exposes them to the sheeple bigly nothing will happen.

They have given medicine license to steal and they get the benefits.

I would love that although Executive Orders only apply to the Executive Branch. It does not apply Legislative Branch or the Judicial Branch.

Not entirely true. Laws can start in either House, but appropriation laws must start in the House — that is unless you are Democrats under Obama.

Here’s a fourth and fifth plank.

Repeal the 17th Amendment.

Double the size of the House. Get reps down to about 360,000 constituents each.

Today’s farm team for senators is the House. Repeal the 17A and once again state legislatures will be the primary source for senators. Today’s reps just take their populist mindsets with them to the senate.

Neither of those proposals are within the scope of what a President can do by Executive Order. For an Executive Order to be legally enforceable, it either has to be an exercise of one of the President’s enumerated powers, or there has to be an Act of Congress that permits it. (The latter is the reason that FDR’s EO for gold confiscation was held to be Constitutional.)

I would add:

a) Order the IRS to stop collecting taxes (read: fines) for non compliance, and refund all assessments made, retroactive to the date obamacare was first made into law.

b) Cancel all...ALL...waivers. No exceptions.

c) investigate healthcare providers, and “big pharmacy” for price gouging.

d) Legalize interstate insurance sales.

e) Stop pre-existing condition refusal.

That was when dingy Harry Reid was majority leader, correct? Did the rats own both houses then?

Fantastic. Thanks. I am trying to put it on as many Ocare threads as I can.

all exemptions granted by Obama should be withdrawn. Spreading the suffering builds up pressure for change.

This what I have been thinking as well that President Trump will have to do a couple of EO’S in order to get rid of the ACA. Put that law out of its misery.
