President Trump, Freedom Caucus reach 'agreement in principle' on Ocare repeal and replace

A five hour old story isn’t much use. Not your or their fault, things are moving rapidly.

Freedom Caucus WH meeting over- they say ‘no deal yet’ but is that just to keep the RINOs guessing?

[DoodleDawg]

The round-the-clock negotiations between the White House, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and the ultraconservative Freedom Caucus have centered on adding to the bill a repeal of ObamaCare's "essential health benefits," as well as other insurance regulations in Title I of the existing health law.

Then how can they pass this in the Senate using reconciliation since these regulations have nothing to do with federal budget?

[Gaffer]

At this point, and I have never personally felt this is a do-or-die one, I am more concerned about ridding us from these effing illegals and terrorist refugee ‘muslims.’

Repeal it - okay, just allow those temporarily tied to the dying gasps of that abortion of a plan from Ubama to exit in some economic fashion. To me, doing nothing but erasing that effing law is good enough. Free market, across state lines where insurers can develop the largest cost absorbing pools imaginable. Repeal it - erase it - destroy the very thought of that abortion. Do not modify, fix or whatever. Eradicate it like a weed.

This STILL is by NO MEANS reason enough to throw up our nascent majority hands at all three levels and pooh-pooh any level of agreement because you have a hair up your butt now for 'total compliance' with your will. [Not specifically directed at any one person.]

Then why are we replacing Obamacare with Trumpcare? Is that any of the federal government's business?

That is the problem. Replace Obamacare with the open market.

I keep hearing about this agreement, show me the deal, don’t tell me how good it is, show it too me. This sounds like a used car salesman pitching for a rusted out AMC Pacer. It’s a great deal for you just sign here, no need to test drive it or have your mechanic look at it, trust me. No way you trust Ryan for ANYTHING!

[DoodleDawg]

So then vote down this piece of crap and keep voting it down until it’s nothing but a complete defunding of Obamacare. Then leave it at that.

I think if they get three things in this, it would be supportable:

1) eliminate all welfare/health subsidies to illegals

2) eliminate all funding for abortions

3) get rid of or substantially minimize the $30,000 “incentive” on insurance policies that essentially replaces the “mandate.

Lots of miles to cover, but if they get those three, that’s a starting point for insurance portability and the other HSA stuff that does have to be done later.
