“It’s to replace it. That’s a totally different ballgame, and one that Republicans cannot win.”
News flash: Republicans ALREADY won! Control the White House, the Senate, the House, the Governorship, and every level of State and Local gubmints. What more do you think is “needed” to “win”?
To victors go the spoils — REPEAL Obamacare and “replace” with NOTHING. You flush the crap down the toilet, you don’t “replace” with fresh new crap.
Send Trump the bill they sent to Obama that he kept rejecting.
Let’s see who plays chicken and who keeps their word.
Got 60 Senate votes?
"Win"? Win what? Repealing ObamaCare would never make it out of the Senate. And even if it did, would Trump sign a repeal?
Nope.
He promised to REPLACE it. And that is his active agenda. His "wonderful new healthcare bill" is what's at issue. Not a repeal.
Just out of curiosity, when Obamacare is repealed where do all those people who won’t have health insurance go? What happens to those people if the get sick?
Everyone is gung ho to repeal but not looking at the interim. I’m not advocating Ryan’s plan as I think it sucks, but why not offer up tort reform, buying insurance across state lines, and let the free market do its thing with Obamacare as an option?
You reconcile that, then you sunset Obamacare as everyone will more than likely choose cheaper plans with better coverage. Plus, now you have something to measure Obamacare against.
