I wager that they'll trim around the edges, making no substantive changes, and tell us all how they either did their best, or did just what they said that they would do.
But I'm only basing my skepticism on history.
I am saying, a LOT of Americans are going to rebel, against the GOP if we just throw out Obamacare.
A lot.
Obamacare needs to be replaced, but we had done nothing to fix our healthcare mess, before it, so it was already broken.
Trump seems to be the only person, in either party, who is saying the things we need to do.
I think Cruz should shut up, and sit down. Frankly.
Paul Ryan lied to Hannity...out and out lied...
Hopefully people will get behind Rand Paul’s bill, take away barkycare completely and make sure we can cross state lines to get the cheapest and best healthcare for us...the American Citizens...
McTurtle doesn’t have the spine to spit on anything so he is as always worthless...
Obamacare was just a new Medicaid program...looking at the numbers.....paid for by you and me. Same folks who were going to the emergency room.....where NO ONE was turned away.
“if you pass repeal without replace youll never pass replace, because they will never ever agree on what the bill should be.”
EXACTLY!
So if you attempt to “repeal and replace” you will never repeal for the same reason.
Best to REPEAL.
Will they give up. Yes. Trump is only temporary. The GOPe knows they will be there for decades.
They will act like GOPe always act.
They will be peeing on our shoes while they tell us it’s raining.
If that's what they want to call it, that's fine, but since it's ALL flaws, or at least 90%, 'fixing the flaws' is the same as repeal.
They could always vote to repeal it in four years time and declare victory...
Lyin' RINO Paul RYAN Lies When He Opens His Mouth
I think Trump is pulling Art of the Deal here....make them think your a little slow...get them thinking your an easy mark and then drop the bomb....
I’m betting they don’t want to repeal Obamacare.
I’m also betting it will cost them dearly if they fail to do so.
Not at this rate they will NOT be there for decades
“Republicans”, beware....we are watching, we are noting, you are NOT protected, and you CANNOT try to stealthily sleak around in the Donalds shadow. We are not loyal to the party, because the party has repeatedly stabbed us in the back. Take note and remember what happened when you all desperately tried to shove Jebby down our throats. Then actively did all you could to take Trump down even after he was the last man standng despite all of your collective efforts to eliminate him. We are not in the mood for your $hit!
And that's what needed to be done immediately, so that the penalty for 2016 would be gone in time for this April's filing deadline.
The Congress should've had a mandate repeal bill ready for Trump to sign on Jan. 20, before the tax filing season got underway.
And they could've done it by simple majority using budget reconciliation, which they DID do in late 2015, and Obama vetoed it in Jan. 2016.
Trump did what he could, but his EO is not enough to kill the penalty. Professional tax preparers cannot sign returns not in compliance with the law as it is on the books, otherwise they violate professional ethics rules and the perjury line on the return.
If you're liable for the penalty and think it might get repealed for 2016 taxes, about the only thing you can do is take the automatic extension, if it doesn't get repealed by April.
Obama care is simply communism. It is forcing people at the barrel of a gun to pay for other people’s health insurance.
We want that aspect REPEALED!!!! Then if you can’t buy your own GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND WAIT 6 hours! Obtain an education— then a job or start a business and buy your own damned insurance. The constitution does NOT force us to buy cars for people or HEALTH INSURANCE! BUY YOU OWN!
.... then again if Ramsey Bolton took Ryans place.
