Ignore the grandstanding on Capitol Hill and the noise coming from town-hall protests around the nation. The Republican bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare will boost your chances of getting a job and cut your tax bill, not to mention your insurance costs.
The repeal bill — called the American Health Care Act — also will stave off a tidal wave of future Medicaid spending that threatens to drown the states and Uncle Sam in red ink. Here’s how.
No more penalties. If you’re among the 8 million people getting whacked with a tax penalty for not enrolling in an overpriced ObamaCare plan, the repeal bill is good news. The federal government will no longer compel you to buy insurance.

She communicates this solution so well it bowled me over. She probably can't get booked on TV as she would destroy them.
Betsey McCaughey knows her stuff.
Sure would like some light to go along with all the heat that is being generated by this debate.
I have great admiration for Betsey McCaughey, going back to the days of HilliaryCare in the 1990s.
However, I do not trust Congressional Republicans to do the right thing, particularly if they have to do it in phases.
I have pretty much stayed away from the threads on this subject because I do not know who to believe and what is exactly what is in the bill. I will however hazard a guess that this bill is better than Obamacare and is a step in the right direction. How much of a step is the $64K question.
I’m not sure I agree with everything she’s said about the Ryan bill, but she does have a ton of credibility on this subject.
Nothing that the fedgov does boosts jobs and cuts taxes, ever. Only free markets do those things.
Evil KC!
Posting something positive about the possible health care bill.
Shame on you. (sarcasm off!)
And when you give millions of people free insurance, it certainly isn’t going to be....”free.”
Someone has to pay and that means higher taxes and or more debt or both. I pity the youngsters who will be stuck with the mess when we are all dead and gone.
Yeah, never mind that it’s no more Constitutional than it’s predecessor.

Back during the HillaryCare debates Betsey said the following: “Healthcare is like a menu in a chinese restaurant. You get to pick any two of these things. Your system can cover every one. Your system can provide high quality care. Your system can be cheap.”
The problem with liberals is that they believe you can have all three.
I’m getting tired of conservatives acting like Veruca Salt, let me tell you. “I want it NOW!”
Americans with disability act will help build wheelchair ramps!
Welfare is a temporary bridge until people can get back on their feet!
Don’t worry all the good stuff will be in the super duper secret phase 3
They could only pay for this by stripping the working folks of their health coverage and making them pay more in taxes because we all had too much white privilege anyway.
No republicans voted for this because they didn’t have to. It was the uniparty’s method to ensure that there was an opposition in name only.
Now, the proposals are to expand the Medicaid portion to an even greater number of folks to gain the Democrats’ support. This is just the flip side of the uniparty coin.
Ultimately, you will be sitting in the ER waiting room for the 7th hour and watching ambulance crews, police units, doctors, nurses and hospital personnel rushing around to save a gang banger who got shot in a botched drug deal while his baby mama socks a big wad of cash in her purse and pulls out his Medicaid card for his free treatment while you hope and pray that those chest pains you are experiencing are nothing more than the spicy burrito you had for lunch and the stress of knowing that you will soon be dealing with a debt recovery company for the $2,000 that your high deductible policy did not cover for your ER visit.
Ryancare just removes the penalty.
I was introduced to that concept some time ago (I think it was in National Review back when I was a subscriber) and I’ve never forgotten it. It was boiled down to Choices, Quality and Cost. You can have two of the three, or a portion of each, but never all three to the max.
They remind me of teenagers! Whine, moan, bitch and want everything now without doing a damn thing to help earn it.
>>Nothing that the fedgov does boosts jobs and cuts taxes, ever. Only free markets do those things.<<
Even when the bill undoes most of a bill that cost jobs and raised taxes?
Yes, that’s a rational thought right there.
