Health Reform: Democrats are predicting doom and gloom if Republicans make good on their ObamaCare repeal plans. Aren't these the same Democrats who promised that ObamaCare would be a huge success?
Early Thursday morning, the Senate voted 51-48 for a budget resolution that marks the first step toward the repeal of ObamaCare.
Democrats say repealing ObamaCare will strip millions of Americans of insurance, leave people with pre-existing medical conditions unable to find coverage, increase the budget deficit, and be a political nightmare for Republicans...
...Republicans plan a transition away from ObamaCare to reforms that will make insurance more competitive and more affordable... ...The 20 million claim is pure poppycock.
It will increase the deficit. ObamaCare never did cut the deficit as promised, thanks to unilateral changes made to ObamaCare by the administration that lowered revenues and increased costs...
It will increase health costs. Obama loves to claim that ObamaCare led to a slowdown in health costs. Not true. The rate of increase in national spending on health care had been on a steady decline well before ObamaCare...
Without ObamaCare, people with pre-existing... ...25% of U.S. adults could be uninsurable if ObamaCare gets repealed...
The public doesn't want ObamaCare repealed... ...voters have effectively voted to repeal the law three times...
In every case, Republican candidates who won elections emphatically and repeatedly vowed to repeal ObamaCare if elected. If this isn't a mandate for repeal, it's hard to see what is.
The truth is that Democrats fear ObamaCare's repeal not because they worry about the harm it will do. They fear repeal because the GOP's free-market oriented replacement plan is likely to be far more popular and successful.

Personally I'm finding it hard to see how any sane person could possibly buy into any of these lies. I'm remembering my lib freinds back in '09 saying we spend too much on healthcare but now it has got to be overwhelmingly obvious that costs have continued to rise but now our incomes are shot.
No way around it, things were better before, back when health care wasn't nearly such a burden.
I watched the Ryan townhall on CNN last night with Jake Tapper. Ryan talked about simultaneous plans to replace Obamacare.
It was quite a good townhall and Jake Tapper acted like a real reporter. The audience was respectful and questions ranged from health care to taxes to immigration. I was impressed.
a) it finally gets the message
b) it has to be put down
Trump-Care
Trump’s Three Step Healthcare Plan For Able-Bodied Americans:
1. - I’ll provide jobs.
2. - You go to work
3. - Pay for your own health care
Being stupid, lazy, drunk or blown away on Obama-weed is not a disability.
