Yep.
They said we needed the House. They got it.
They said they needed the Senate. They got it.
They said once we have the presidency we’d repeal it.
The fifth sentence of Ryan’s “Better Way to Fix Health Care” declared, “Obamacare must be fully repealed so we can start over and take a new approach.”
Now they look at us like we are from Mars when we actually want them to repeal it and not merely preserve it with more insolvency.
That’s the problem. The House GOP “conservatives” are part of the swamp. Hence the disinformation and purity spiraling over the healthcare bill. They knew that refusing to work with the President and that a straight up full repeal instead of a three phase plan would result in the vote not taking place, period. Ryan wanted that too, to be honest. Both sides had the same goal: save Obamacare.
So only work with 20% of Congress? Kind of hard to pass bills that way.
Very good article
Exactly. Almost to the word what I’ve been saying all week. It was reinforced when I saw Rove, Norquist and other consummate swamp-monsters parroting Ryan’s BS. It was clear this was a lobbyist bill being masqueraded as ‘the best we can do’. Total BS.
The congressman from right here.... He’s turned in to a bafoon
Conservative Review is the swamp. The owner is pushing hard for repeal to recoup his billion dollar business.
Dear Congress Critters; We don't trust you anymore. We want Obamacare to go away, not morph into another failed government designed catastrophe. Left to its own merits (or demerits) any socialist program will naturally collapse.
I bet if they brought up the repeal deal that Obummer vetoed, it would get passed in a heartbeat.
If Trump wants to drain the swamp he needs to start with the RINOS.
Trump was poorly advised. I think it was Rinse Penis!! FIRE HIM Trump before he rinos you to death!!
Think about this. Trump played nice and went along. He had nothing to lose and couldn't lose. Ryan bet the farm on his prowess as a leader of a majority house and failed.
Now Obamacare will march along into perdition and ultimately die an agonizing death.
Then the establishment will come to Trump crying and fasting for him to save them.
I don’t get any of this...
Obamacare/Trump/Ryancare is NOT healthcare; it is putting a financial GUN to our heads in order to FORCE us to buy INSURANCE.
That’s the bottom line for me.
It’s utter corruption and banana republic tactics.
Government, GET THE HELL OUT OF IT!! PERIOD!!!
The lesson is take out Ryan just like Trump did and don’t listen to Levin’s 1D chess moves, Trump is playing 4D chess.
There is not a trace of Constitutional authority assigned to any branch of government to dictate to an American citizen in choosing and paying into their own healthcare any more than there is to choose what clothes we wear or what car we drive. None. Nada.
Yet, here we are....
I think Trump is playing “rope-a-dope” with Ryan, and the GOPe.
He pushed them out front, Paul “Obama” Ryan polished up Obamacare, and gave us the “take it, or leave it” approach. We left it.
Now, anything the RINOs come up with is DOA. Their credibility is shot!
Meanwhile, Trump should EO ALL waivers, and let Obamacare crash and burn. It will “self-repeal”.
Ryan has permanently outed himself as a team player with this “my way or the highway” approach of another “you’ve got to pass it to see what’s in it” boondoggle.
