Congressional Republicans unveiled legislation on Monday that would funnel billions of dollars to Obamacare markets, and hope the provision can be attached to the long-term government spending that's due Friday.

The new bill would fund insurer payments known as cost-sharing reduction payments for three years, and offer $30 billion in reinsurance funds distributed evenly for three years...

Not exactly "Repeal, dig it up root and branch".

Trump has a big veto pen, but would he use it? I doubt it.

[gunsequalfreedom]

We are quickly approaching a debt number whose interest payment will consume all spending.

[Repeal The 17th]

Lamar Alexander, Susan Collins, etc.
The proposal will go nowhere...

USA has been sold out yet again by the RINO legion. They’re disgusting.

One problem is that everyone hates everyone else’s Congressman, but keeps electing their own.

[notaliberal]

They don’t want to win, they are followers. Is there a leader within that group of useless bureaucrats? I doubt it! All of them are there to get rich at our expense.

Sombody or somebodys got well greased for this one.

They are all dogs from the same litter. It’s in their “jeans” Rather, to quote “This may be fake, but accurate”.

[Eddie01]

When you realize everything they do puts millions into their personal accounts, nothing remains a mystery.

The only mystery is why you haven’t woke to that fact.

Is medical costs average TWICE the next highest nations in the world. The care is no better. Where the hell does all the money go?

[Skywise]

Let’s David Hogg them.

Insurance companies are evil.

Insurance companies have made the congressman their bitch.

KILL OBAMACARE you GOP idiots

[neverevergiveup]

Easy solution. Demand that administrative costs be decreased to no more than 15% for every health care dollar subsidized by the government (it is currently 26-28%). This will save 100s of billions (would be happy to share the calculations). It will, of course also lead to a war among administrators, and a culling of their ranks, but this is a necessary and beneficial step.

From Hill:
“At Monday’s GOP conference meeting, some Republicans erupted into cheers and applause when leaders announced that they would hold the line and insist Hyde language be attached to any new ObamaCare payments, according to a person in the room. “

Pathetic.
This is NOTHING, we get NOTHING from the Dems and RINOs.
What a waste of an opportunity.
