House Freedom Caucus declines to take united position, which is probably good news for the bill
I assume you already know enough not to take anything Justin Amash says seriously, so the fact that my ex-congressman isn’t satisfied means nothing. For people who don’t live in the utopian fantasyland of their adolescent dreams, here’s how House Republicans have improved the American Health Care Act in the past 24 hours:
Under the modified version of the GOP replacement bill, states would be allowed to require able-bodied Medicaid recipients without dependents to work beginning in October — and would get a funding boost as a reward for doing so. States could also receive federal funding for the program as a lump sum — instead of a per capita allotment — for children and non-disabled, non-elderly adults.
By not repealing but amending they leave themselves wide open for blame by Democrats. Democrats will insist it was working until Republicans broke it.
They’ll claim it was working until it was repealed also.
They should let it fail and then step in with a replacement that lets States decide their own health insurance rules and regs.

How bad does it have to fail for it to “fail”?
For most Floridians, the PPACA has been a bad thing.
I heard on Savage that the RINOs removed the amendment that would disallow health care tax credits to illegal immigrants.
When no insurance companies will participate is one way it can fail more (we’re close already)
When people cannot afford the premiums (even when subsidized) and care and don’t bother to sign up on the exchanges (also we’re already close for many people).
When even more doctors, hospitals, clinics etc won’t take people with exchange purchased insurances (more and more are declining people who have insurance procured this way).
When the employer mandate goes into effect.
When the Cadillac tax goes into place.
They probably would have to. Obvious lawsuit bait. The whole law could get thrown out over that. And worse, it wouldn’t get past the Parliamentarian.
Why didn’t RynoCare eliminate the individual mandate or the Cadillac tax??
Let them. People with brains already know the Truth...
Why did we think the Congress would be competent because President Trump was elected.
Our “leaders” often are duplicitous morons and liars. What’s new?
