There's a lot more popular support for tax reform than there was for Ryancare.
That was funny!
Now that is creative!
True, so how come he didn’t start in with that plan first?
One reason is that he will raise taxes on the rich. That was one of his promises made in an interview last April.
That idea - like supporting RyanCare - will also go over like a lead balloon with conservatives.
It is wise to doubt the NY SLIMES.
“rearranging” ... that’s right!
So instead of Repeal and Replace
we have ...
Rearrange and Regurgitate!
The process of winning is being put on hold.
“All Growed Up”
But still a pain in the Patootie.....
The only bill right now should be the repeal, the one they passed before. Give it one year to take effect. Then they can replace it at their leisure.
There is difference between doubting and claiming everything is fake news that gets posted from NYTIMES or any other main stream media.
This info is out there. From more than once source.
Coverage requirements eliminated, Medicaid benefits strengthened for elderly and handicapped people. What I keep hearing is that they’re working toward a vote of the full House at 3 p.m., although that could always change if they need more time to corral the votes. They just took a procedural vote, which doesn’t pass the bill but allows it to be amended
The bill is moving in the right direction.....
Probably not. Trump is not "business as usual", and most thinking people recognize that. A failed vote - as long as it's gotten out of the way quickly - is just a method to identify more miscreants that can be flushed out of the swamp.
What would be bad is if the new normal of one large reconciliation bill at the absolute deadline for keeping the government open imploded. It's half a year at least until Republican controlled Congress gets to that point.
So NYT is right. THEY DONT HAVE THE VOTES.
They are trying to get them by making concessions.
It would be nice to have a story from a reliable news source.
The good news would be if trump did not let him in
Had they won, Trump would have received credit for being a team player on the bill.
If it loses, there's no doubt Ryan was in the driver's seat. He couldn't pass a bill on repealing Obamacare, which pretty much the entire party used as a campaign issue. This, after they sent a repeal bill to Obama how many times?
No, Trump will be judged as having done his part. The House, and especially Ryan, will take the hit on this.
