The con job that is the “American Health Care Act”
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/13/17 | David Hogberg

Is it Obamacare-lite--or worse than Obamacare?

House Speaker Paul Ryan is talking out of both sides of his mouth on health care reform. He claims that his proposed “American Health Care Act” (AHCA) will increase choice and lower costs. Yet the actual bill preserves many of the provisions in Obamacare that do the opposite. (I wrote about the bill at Bombthrowers on Saturday.)

“American Health Care Act” (AHCA)

They needed to add Comprehensive to the title.

CAHCA

This socialism replaced with more socialism is as dead as Grandmas Christmas goose. Trump must get away from this stink bomb before he takes the stage on the 15th. We never deamed that repeal of socialized medicine would be replaced with more socialism!! No Sir— Won’t happen.
My suggestion is that the President scrap this and emerge with his own plan of free enterprise healthcare and insurance. And a safety slightly better the the ER they always had along the lines of a VA type infrastructure. In fact, close the VA and put them on Medicareso they can get their own Doctors and use the infrastructure for the poor. Also move preexisting to high risk pools and even subsidize that (IF THEY CAN’T PAY) But DO NOT take our money to buy cars or houses or expensive vacations OR HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS for those that don’t want to work hard and buy their own!! Where is that written in the Constitution? Come on Donald— you are better than this!!

I love his logic and his listening but that RinoCare is completely dead. I think that Trump should come out with his plan not paul rino’s. He NKw that Paul Rino was a rino. I think Trump fell for this socialism and that disappoints me but he has time to correct this error of he can just go down with the ship. We do not and WILL not pay for other people’s insurance premiums and we will not pay for people with preexisting conditions to walk into our plans with million dollar liabilities that we are expected to pay for? NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
Do a safety net like the VA and high risk pools for preexsiting like was done in every state before obama “CARE” but leave the rest of us ALONE!!

We’re so screwed. The stupid party is going to run out of time and leave Obamacare untouched.

Federal government control of healthcare epitomizes the worst in Administrative State. Federal government control of healthcare sets up it's own economic structure within our government. It is ILLEGAL!

Here is the current structure under ObamaCARE


Here is the new defined structure under RinoCARE

Ryan insists this repeals ACA, even though it is obvious that it amends ACA.

We were promised repeal of ACA. Not only are we being stabbed in the back AGAIN, but Ryan is lying to our face. Ryan is Grubering us.
