STOP RYANCARE
Please call these Republicans and urge them to oppose RyanCare, which falls far short of GOP promises for repeal and the repeal legislation passed in 2015. RyanCare continues Obamacare spending and creates a massive new entitlement program for people who don't pay income taxes.

Republican leaders in Washington have promised to repeal Obamacare in the past four elections and voted to do so numerous times, but now that they can fulfill their promise, they're planning to break their word.
According to multiple media reports, the plan written by House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) retains several parts of Obamacare, including Medicaid expansion.
This is NOT repealing Obamacare!
RyanCare also includes advanceable, refundable tax credits to buy insurance, which is a costly new entitlement that will result in the IRS writing checks to people who pay no income taxes.
Republicans campaigned on repeal and even sent it to President Obama's desk just one year ago. But now that the election is over, they're talking about "fixing" and "repairing" Obamacare with the liberal policies that they secretly supported all along.
Has anybody every called a rep and got an answer on a position? It seems they never care to say what they might do.
I thought Trump was listening to Rand Paul’s plan.
I have a hunch it will be addressed tonight.
Me too!! What the heck!!
Every person who took money from the Clinton Foundation who is still in Congress has to go.....
What is Trump’s plan and how does it compare to Ryan’s? Are there ANY actual plans yet?
Half a dozen plans but few details.
If the Stupid Party doesn’t repeal Obamacare in its entirety they are making a huge mistake and doing democrats a huge favor.
No matter how they gut it, change it or improve it, the plan will forever be known as Obamacare - as a democrat plan.
And all they will be doing is to fix and save Obamacare for the democrats.
Any positive aspects will be credited to Obama and the democrats.
Anything that doesn’t work well or that people view as negative will be attributed to Trump and the Republicans meddling.
All the letters in the world won’t stop them in their drive to screw it up worse than it is and thus increase the perception of a “necessity” for their gold standard- Single Payer. That is what their employer demands of his employees and Mr. Donohue won’t stand for anything less. The Republicans’ principal salaries depend on it. It will require the arrest and prosecution for something or other of Donohue and all the major members of the Chamber of Commerce.
You mean like EITC (Bastard Bucks). Not the first time people receive more than they contribute.
Congress is more interested in exacerbating problems than fixing them.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So Pres. Trump and Congress have the following two options to implement Trumpcare imo.
Trump and Congress must either eliminate unconstitutional federal government interference in INTRAstate commerce, essentially turning healthcare over to the states as the Founding States had intended,
"The States should be left to do whatever acts they can do as well as the General Government." --Thomas Jefferson to John Harvie, 1790.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
Or, if Trump and Congress need new federal powers to implement Trumpcare then they must successfully petition the states to amend the Constitution for those express new powers.
"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids.” —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.

A trio of GOP senators are adding an extra hurdle to the looming fight over nixing the Affordable Care Act, arguing they want “full repeal” of ObamaCare. Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) each pointed to the Senate’s 2015 repeal bill as the “bare minimum” for the 2017 repeal legislation. “2 yrs ago, the GOP Congress voted to repeal Obamacare. That 2015 repeal language should be the floor, the bare minimum,” they each tweeted along with the hashtag “full repeal.”
The three you’d most expect. I’m with them.
Thanks for the link.
The RINOS prefer a health plan that has political fallout for Trump.
Good grief. We get it, OK? Time to stop now.
If you don’t know what I mean, change your viewing preferences to view all comments.
How many more times do you plan on posting this?
it’s my sentiments regarding *this specific topic*, which i believe trump’s constituents are being betrayed yet again by the uniparty establishment, and will spread it around on *this specific topic* when observed. between such postings and phone calls to representatives, etc., hopefully trump gets the message from his constituents that ‘obamacare lite’ is not “our wonderful new healthcare bill”...
