The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus told reporters Tuesday that despite a phone call with President Donald J. Trump he is not voting for the American Health Care Act, crafted by Speaker Paul Ryan (R.-WI) as an alternative to the clean repeal of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Obamacare. North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows, who took over the House Freedom Caucus at the beginning of this session of Congress, said that he and the president agree that the most important thing national health care policy can accomplish is to lower insurance premiums.
“I know the president wants to lower premiums,” Meadows said.
“Both he and I both agree that premiums need to be lower and if they’re not, both he and I will be judged that we didn’t do our jobs,” he said. Meadows also attended a private meeting with Vice President Mike Pence.
Earlier in the day, Meadows told Breitbart News that negotiations with leadership had come to a halt and that leadership had moved as far as it could with the amendments that were introduced as manager’s amendments. These amendments included, a work requirement for Medicaid, eliminated the RyanCare tax credits for abortions and changed the formula New York State uses to take money from counties outside of New York City to finance Medicaid in the Big Apple.

Illegals will actually be getting more under RINOcare than they were getting under Obamacare.
And Christian healthcare ministries would lose the protection they had under Obamacare.
These guys represent what, about 12% of the GOP seats in the House? They are obstructing with 12%.
But these same guys want to gut the power a Filibuster gives a minority in the Senate with the bizarre plan to have Pence declare more or less anything to be Reconciliation, regardless of the Parliamentarian’s ruling.
Do we see irony?
Do we know specifically who snuck in the illegals provision?
Stupid and misleading title by Breitbart.
Ryan. It’s a feature, not a bug.
eliminated the RyanCare tax credits for abortions
******************************
The fact that this was even in the bill tells you how much of a conservative Ryan really is.
Mark Meadows is my Representative and I knew he would fold
? Since 5 hours ago? Fold?
Don’t be a Fool! So many have Willfully believe Trump was going to Repeal Obamacare. But they Payed No Attention!
Wake Up Trump is NOT being Played, He is part of the Players!
Trump is in on Big Government... It just needs to be in his Favor... He NEVER was going to REPEAL Obamacare! Remember when I ask well before Trump was elected and was still running for the GOP, What do you think He is going to do? I ask people to Document what they though he was going to do, what he stood for, Yet No One would record what Trump Stood for or what He was going to do. Its because He has been and always was ALL OVER the Place.
I Say Again the Federal Government HAS to be SLAYED! There is No Fixing it for the Beast is now in Total Control and it will not go away, thus it has to be removed!
Return to God, His Order and a Moral people or continue as Slaves to the Beast and Much Darker Days Ahead!
The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation.
Know this:
Return to God, a Moral people and Christendom! Anything Else if for Not! When you see the reunification of Christians into the One True Faith the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church the End to the Darkness will be Assured... Until then PRAY for All the Lost Souls!
God Bless
“Illegals will actually be getting more under RINOcare than they were getting under Obamacare.”
How so?
I did not get that from the article.
He is still voting no from what I can tell.
As is my Rep., Dave Brat.
Ryancare relaxes the requirements to get in so that more illegals will get coverage.
From what I understand any coverage they may get will be through the state Medicaid block grants where the states set the rules. So in states like CA, you betcha, Illegals will almost certainly get coverage. Others, not so much.
Not even God could save this mess. Ryan needs to go.
