Vice President Pence on Monday said congressional Republicans should pass a “repeal only” bill if they can’t come to a consensus on legislation to replace ObamaCare.

“If they can’t pass this carefully crafted repeal and replace bill — do those two things simultaneously — we ought to just repeal only,” Pence said in an interview with Rush Limbaugh.

Pence’s comments echoed those made by President Trump, who last month suggested that he was open to repealing ObamaCare first and developing a replacement plan later.

However, White House legislative director Marc Short on Monday said, "we still believe that the bill before the Senate is the preferable path.”

100% repeal. Root and branch.

Ratcheting up pressure on McConnell and Ryan.

Exactly.

Just repeal it—the Supreme Court said the Congress didn’t have power to pass it in the first place, which would mean that no one should bother with a replace bill.

Yes, please!
I’d rather have my old (2007ish) coverages and similar cost back!

You do know he’s the VP?

So, who was for repeal before they were against it?

Whoever supported repeal before, but not now, should be voted out next go around.

(1) Full, total repeal of Obamacare
(2) Abolish all federally-funded, mandated healthcare programs (CMS, SCHIP, etc) and turn them over to the states completely in exchange for a one-time block grant that cannot be used for care for illegals or abortions
(3a) Use the Interstate Commerce clause to allow health care plans to be sold across state lines. (b) National tort reform (c) $5,000-a-year healthcare tax credit for all individuals - for co-pays, deductibles, premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, charitable contributions to another healthcare, or contributions to an HSA. (d) Abolish the FDA and let a non-profit, Consumer Reports-type organization regulate and educate Americans about drugs (e) End the discrimination on homeopathic or holistic treatment (hemp seeds are the most nutritious foods in the world) (f) End the AMA's stranglehold on licensing

Seems that repeal is the best course.Later new legislation can be passed.

[TigersEye]

Do it!

Apparently, nothing will make the liars/quislings/capons/geldings/castrati of the repub party do anything to help President Trump and the American people. They are traitors to their electorate.

By the time they finish dawdling around Obamacare will be in full collapse. Then we can hang this disaster fully around the commies necks.

Yes,Pence is VP, but Trump came out lat week calling for repeal only.

[morphing libertarian]

hardly news. He was on Rush and it was yawner. Call me when someone does something or the Pres and VP disagree.

Ratcheting up pressure on McConnell and Ryan.

McConnell and Ryan don't care and won't be influenced.

[Ray76]

Cantorize them and the rest of the RINOs.

[DoodleDawg]

$5,000-a-year healthcare tax credit for all individuals

Have you done the math on that? You're talking well over a trillion dollars per year.

[DoodleDawg]

Cantorize them and the rest of the RINOs.

Because that worked so well last year.

But loyal to their globalist masters and their money to the bitter end.
