The key problem with the draft House health care bill is that it fails to correct the features of Obamacare that drove up health insurance costs. Instead, it mainly tweaks Obamacare’s financing and subsidy structure.
Basically, the bill focuses on protecting those who gained subsidized coverage through the law’s exchange subsidies and Medicaid expansion, while failing to correct Obamacare’s misguided insurance regulations that drove up premiums for Americans buying coverage without government subsidies.
That is both a policy problem and a political problem.

It is more than just the uniparty on this DJT’s own tweets show him to be fully supportive.
Stop listening to these “news” reports. This bill is part 1 of 3. They have to work under budget reconciliation rules because changes only require 51 votes in the Senate. They simply don’t have 9 Democrats who will cross the isle.
These “news” reports are meant to divide the party.
#RyanCare = #NoMoreTrumpRallies
The future Trump Rally may hear calls for Rand 2020.
The entire original law was passed under reconciliation. Why not the repeal?
Back her way up.
It’s the law that governs the processes of the Senate, that is out of the control of either party, that LIMIT what a bill can contain. Now if the Democrats would join in the effort this would not be an issue. But there will not be one single vote from any Democrat in either the House or the Senate on any changes to the death spiraling PPACA.
We need to list the things that drive up the cost of medical care, some of which preceded the ACA.
1. Fear of lawsuits. Unnecessary things are done and new, experimental things are not done for fear of lawsuits. The new law does not go far enough. Guilty til proven innocent would still be the norm under the new law.
2. Data Entry Clerks. The ACA has turned doctors into data entry clerks who spend over 50% of their day doing busy-work demanded by Slavitt/CMS. That means less time to actually examine the patient and actually practice medicine. Tom Price could have made compliance voluntary for all ACA regulations of doctors and medical providers.
3. Centralization. Not just the ACA, but the IRS and FTC and the wa CMS/Medicaid/Medicare operate, all Federal government interference has the net effect of pushing the small hospital and small medical practice and small insurance company out of business and subsidizing the consolidation of doctors into hospital employees and hospitals into massive bureucracys.
4. Elimination of Charity. Historically medicine has been dominated by Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Jewish, Seventh Day Adventist, Shriners and all kinds of charitable groups who have massive voluntary constituencies that voluntarily give to the charity of their choice. Government regulations treat charity as competition with government that should be stomped out.
5. ......
6. ....
There are many others that could be listed. New law and action by the regulators must address these.

I disagree.. They need to repeal with reconciliation.. then draft a better bill. Even Sanders admits obamacare is a failure. The Freedom Caucus has,prepared a,bill that is,more fiscally sound.
No, phase three.
Phase two is the work of the executive branch eliminating regulations and we learned yesterday thousands of letters.

If you like your suppository, you can keep your suppository.
We don’t want a rewritten Obamacare. Kill Obamacare and if a replacement is needed, then do it piecemeal and in short 3-4 page individual laws over the next year.
The whole thing went wrong decades ago, when it all became about how to afford costly insurance instead of actual healthcare. And since Medicare and Medicaid will bankrupt the Government in 10/years or less, it doesn’t really matter anyway.
That's pretty much what the the bill does
Of course a replacement is needed.
You don't actually think ANY politician is going to let millions of people who are on the Obama exchanges not be able to buy subsidized insurance and left to hang out to dry. ? Gee, just give the democrats your gun to shoot you with.
This is a piecemeal three phase plan, I'm going to hold fire until the final phase is done.
Their plan seems prudent and well thought out to get it to the President's desk going around the Senate rules to stop the democrats.
Is it perfect ? No. Is it better than Obamacare. By miles and miles...
Just kill Obamacare. The only reason we have it is because of that jerk Roberts! There was nothing wrong that couldn’t have been fixed easily by tort reform, drug price negotiations and fraud. This is all BS. Repeal and get the hell out of our business by passing sensible laws.
If you like your suppository, you can keep your suppository.
Kill the damn thing.
Nobody wanted it and we had it forced down our throats.
Just kill it. Drive a sharp stake through its heart and bury it in the garden.
Pence just gave interview on WOOD radio here in west Michigan, “this is what we are doing...”. This is the plan, the instant and complete repeal is not going to happen.
“We don’t want a rewritten Obamacare. Kill Obamacare and if a replacement is needed, then do it piecemeal and in short 3-4 page individual laws over the next year.”
I am with you as to what we WANT, but that would be endlessly filibustered. This bill can’t be due to the nature of the Bill. That’s why it needs to be done in phases.
I trust Trump to get that done.
