After giving this some thought I’ve changed my mind about what I believe Trump is doing here with this Ryan bill. I now believe that everything he has done has been done with the understanding that it doesn’t have a chance in hell of getting passed in the House.
We will see how much fun is being had if/when the Freedom Caucus rejects RyanTrumpCare.
I am surprised that Political ran with this article. Of course Trump was in jest when he said that.
“Trump warned Republicans behind closed doors that many of them could lose their seats in the 2018 midterm elections if they fail to support the Obamacare repeal and replacement plan — a statement Spicer characterized as not a threat but rather the ‘political reality.’”
I think the “political reality” is that congress critters could lose their seats if, after going through the show votes for repeal of ObummerCare for years, they now offer up a replacement bill that’s only marginally better, if that.
Drive a heart through ObummerCare and then adopt a bill that is private market driven. Reverse the Medicaid expansion. If the states which chose to expand Medicaid want to keep it, fine. Let them pay for it. At $20 trillion in debt, Fedzilla is in no position to keep promising “free this” and “free that”.
Having fun?
Ha freakin’ Ha.
I hope Trump is having this same kind of fun as he purports to support RINOCare.
Trump: “Just funnin’ ya. Ha ha.”
HOW ABOUT YOU ACTUALLY DO WHAT YOU SAID AND *REPEAL* OBAMACARE
