I do not agree with your assessment that the HFC kept moving the goal posts, IF the house had completely repealed the DAMNED bill the HFC would have pretty much agreed to most anything to drive the costs down for Americans!!! This damned bill did NOTHING for the American people it did EVERYTHING for the insurance industry, the Chamber of Commerce, and K-street!!! Trump PROMISED us that this would NOT happen anymore because HE was not bought and paid for!!!! The HFC are the ONLY gatekeepers of the DAMNED government tentacles from taking over our lives in EVERY aspect!!! If Trump wants a FAIR FREE MARKET BILL, FORECE every DAMNED one of these legislators onto OCARE, they’ll come up with a bill lickety split MARK MY WORDS!!
I'm simply reflecting some of the reporting I've read. It does appear that the goalposts were moved at least once, after some initial concessions that the President gained on behalf of the HFC.
So DO your RESEARCH—and MAYBE stop SHOUTING every other DAMNED word!
Notwithstanding that, I believe that Speaker Paul Ryan wants Trump to fail, and will sabotage the President any opportunity he gets. Paul Ryan probably saw this as a golden opportunity to hand "Trumpcare" around the President's neck, and help ensure that he only served one term.
But that doesn't automatically mean that the HFC behaved well, because the fact is, the dream bill of the HFC would never pass the full House...
