Does it make health care more affordable? Does it give consumers more choices? Does it provide Americans more control over their families’ health care?

Does it remove the mandate to buy?
First item, and non-negotiable.
No, there is only one criteria:
Is it in the Constitution for the federal government to interfere with the free market of health care and health insurance?
The correct answer is no.
That was already removed, along with the ‘essentials’ requirement, i.e. Mammograms and birth control for all.
“Does it make health care more affordable? Does it give consumers more choices? Does it provide Americans more control over their families’ health care?”
You mean like the one I used to have???
Anger does not describe how I feel!
Those two need to draft the bill and just give it to Congress. They obviously can’t get it done themselves.
They had seven years to craft new legislation.
The lack of a clean repeal I get. I’m not sure it’s possible. That monster has too many tentacles wormed into every single aspect of our lives.
But Lyin Ryan had more than ample time to get a good bill together and have it ready to go on Day One.
Does it have 216 votes on the house?
Gee, Ted had this piece all ready for today...
What you said!!!
1. Lower insurance premiums.
2. Implement non-refundable tax credits.
3. Freeze Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.
Sheesh!
Ted Cruz should know better!!!
Only one criteria for federal control of healthcare. Not yours to give, subsidize, control, or whatever!!
Go AWAY!
No, it’s never that. Here are the key questions.
Does it give the government and congress more power and opportunities to take bribes?
Does it give insurance companies more money so that they can pay bribes to congress?
Does it give big pharma more money so that they can give more bribes to congress?
# ONE
Does it get government out of health care?
The rest is ballet.
Was it removed, or was the fine zeroed out? There’s a difference.
My understanding is that it was removed entirely at the 11th hour. It was a big sticking point, and properly so.
does it get the federal government out of medicine?
out of the VA (just give vets credit to buy own health care)
out of medicare (just give elderly credit to buy own plan)
does it provide tort reform?
does it allow for nationwide competition?
Hmmmm, no. The article states "updated on March 15".
If true, that’s dang good news. And maybe why the uniparty was happy to see this torpedoed.
Time for Trump to declare ramming speed.
Then run for a seat and make the argument
Hate to tell you but the boat sailed in 1958
Tax reform bill is going to be a token bill w/o HC reform. House GOP needed extra revenue. Liberal media not only ones who can lead astray.— Richard Baris (@Peoples_Pundit) March 24, 2017
