Comprehensive tax reform is nearly impossible with Obamacare in place
For the last seven-plus years, Republicans ran on repealing and replacing Obamacare. It was a winning platform, demonstrated by their gaining seats in Congress in almost every election since Obama was elected in 2008—achieving a majority in the House in 2010, a majority in the Senate in 2014, and finally the White House in 2016. And with President Trump stating that he is anxious to sign a “repeal” or a “repeal and replace” bill into law, passage seemed like a sure thing. Yet so far the Senate has failed to pass a bill. But there is still a way forward.
The legislative priorities of the new administration started with repealing Obamacare because of the need to eliminate the complexity and burden of its 20-odd new taxes on business, families and small businesses—a total of some $500+ billion in additional taxes—and to abolish and reduce costly regulations on small businesses.
Absolutely true. Every and all payroll increases the middle class are getting are being eaten-up, and more, by increased health-care costs.
Obamacare is simply more welfare - for the lower class, for government, and for insider crony-capitalists.
While the rest of the population gets strip-mined.
and Earl. Lots and lots of Earl.
The power over Healthcare is not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, therefore the power over Healthcare is reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
