That last part is critical.
Till now the Democrats owned this piece of sh**, lock, stock and barrel.
Now Republicans have their fingerprints on it.
True
Trump needs to veto this and tell Ryan piss up a rope until they come up with something real.
It’s almost like some wealthy billionaire New York liberal planned it.. question is, which one?
I want to be on record against this atrocity. We didn’t kick the Dems out of power for this.
P.S. - There was a lot made of the the fact that not a single GOP vote was cast for Obamacare. This bill proves they might as well have done so.
The RINO’s are not interested in a Conservative Gooberment at all. Boot them out!!
The Freedom Caucus will oppose this RINOcare bill.
The only way it passes is with Democrat and RINO votes, like they tried to do with Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill that caused Eric Cantor to be Cantorized.
If your Congressman signs onto this, Cantorize him in the next primary.
We will now see the real test. Will President Trump see this is garbage, veto it for what it is and offer a far more conservative policy? Will he stand up to moaning from the RINO house and Senate and remain firm?
This will be the first legislative test
Call it Establishment Care!
No House RAT should vote for this so the RINOs own it.
Then the House Conservatives should vote it down.
If it makes it to the Senate, maybe they’ll have the good sense to say, “are we nuts” asnd vote it down.
I'll post a more detailed review of this later, but this line caught my eye.
I think the author has this all wrong. Destroying the employer market will do more to "fix" health care in this country than anything else that has been discussed.
Think about just how idiotic our employer-based health care system has become. Expecting my employer to cover the cost of my medical insurance is just as ludicrous as expecting my employer to do my grocery shopping for me. This link between employment and health coverage should be severed ASAP. The best way to do this is by treating employer-paid health insurance as a taxable benefit just like anything else.
When my employer purchased a disability insurance policy for me and paid the premium every year, I had to report that premium as taxable income on my tax return. And guess what -- the premium was so low that it hardly even mattered.
Now Republicans have their fingerprints on it.”
And that can be avoided very easily and the President can FORCE A BIPARTISAN BILL to Repeal Obamacare.
I will say it again, OBAMACARE WILL NEVER BE REPEALED in any way, shape or fashion. I watched COUNTLESS Government Unions proudly marching and advocating for OBAMACARE on TV all across this Country.
There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:
Executive Orders
1. All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.
2. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.
3. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.
And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.
Sign these 3 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.
NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???
I would also consider another Executive Order Withholding All Transportation Funds from All States that do Not have Their Public Employees enrolled in Obamacare, just to Prove a Point.
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
I AM TAKING BETS that the Rino Party Will NEVER REPEAL OBAMACARE!
No House RAT should vote for this so the RINOs own it.
Then the House Conservatives should vote it down.
If it makes it to the Senate, maybe they’ll have the good sense to say, “are we nuts” and vote it down.
And what about the other provisions of the law that will be left in place for a future democrat administration to abuse?
2600 pages worth!
GOP is worthless! They let a paid for group protesting town halls scare them into going back on their voters!!
So F’ing sick of these cowards.
Uh....it’s a starting point for negotiations. People are supposed to come to the table and fight for what they want included and excluded.
This is in stark contract to the Dems where no one got a chance for input
May the best ideas win!
Donald Trump has been on the record many times calling for a single-payer health care system in the U.S., so the idea that he would veto a garbage RINO-sponsored variation of ObamaCare seems pretty outlandish.
Ryan is such a weasel. He never ever thought Trump would win so he had NO replacement plan.
His grand plan was to send phony repeal bills to Hillary for 4 years and when it finally imploded on its own, he’d run for president in 2020.
Exactly...It isn’t in effect yet...Trump has a big say in this....It’s called veto...
Back when I was supporting Cruz and watched 2ndDiv get roasted for being a big time Ted supporter I would occasionally try to defend Cruz and point out Trump is no conservative. The conservatives in the UK are essentially a party that appeals to voters saying we can run the big govt programs better.
And that is what the republicans have turned into here. Trump said nice things about this bill. All those attempts to repeal were phony as sh1t. They could have just took the last repeal bill Obama vetoed
