Trump has Already Effectively Repealed Obamacare (Dick Morris)
Facebook ^ | Dick Morris

Posted on 03/27/2017 8:26:37 PM PDT by LS

Dick Morris says what I have said for a couple of weeks. Obamacare really has been killed, and no one noticed.

Trump told the IRS not to enforce the "individual mandate." That is the essential coercive element. No mandate, no O-care. Morris said he did this last week---in fact, I heard more than four weeks ago that the IRS was NOT enforcing this and just assumed it came from Trump.

Second, the requirement that you buy from an "approved" insurance company---Trump waived that as well by telling HHS to approve any policy as "qualifying."

Yes, some of the subsidies and other crap remains, but the individual mandate---which the USSC upheld---is gone and so is the other coercive mechanism.

And nobody noticed.

“Trump should cancel all the exemptions”

No, he should issue permanent exemptions to any who apply, just like Reid and Pelosi’s constituents!

Exactly. Fixing vote fraud is probably the single most important task of the first Trump term. Fix that (and some stuff to cause there to be a reason to reelect him), and then you have the time and power to fix the other stuff.

“Trump should cancel all the exemptions”

Agreed.

Or, as some here have suggested, simply exempt all US citizens.

So long as the 16th, 17th, and 19th Amendments are still part of the Constitution, we cannot totally leave the road that goes to totalitarian rule. We can deviate with a strong driver at the wheel but that driver is mortal and limited. Sooner or later all the side roads return to the main highway.

To: Repeal The 17th
My wife convinced me about 19. Women want different things from men. Women are looking for security and laws that make everyone be nice. They vote for the government to take care of their children and for the government to take care of women. They are not terribly concerned with liberty or government intrusion and regulation. I told her that that was just stereotyping. She said stereotypes or no it is the truth. That is why married women tend to vote more conservatively . They have achieved security. That is not to say women should not be able to run for or hold office. So long as there are not women to vote for them, the successful ones will be ones who support things that more men vote for such as liberty and small government.

That is all especially relevant now that society has degraded so far as it has. Men don't marry because the law is totally against them in any dispute and morality is such that for many there is no reason to marry. That means a large percentage of single women who are still looking for a husband even if they cannot admit that to themselves. If there are none to marry they wed the government. Of course we are not talking about all women, but a preponderance of women, just as all men are not liberty and Constitution oriented, but a preponderance are.

Larry, didn’t the senate recently pass a bill regarding insurance that places healthcare in the same category as other business.? ( No Monopoly No price settings etc. )

How would this work with purchases across state lines?

First heard of it from Rand Paul. He mentioned another bill introduced. But can’t remember what “little issue “ it was about.

Sure seems they are replacing as quietly as they “repealed”!!!!

Nope, the primary reason "his poll numbers are in the 30's" is because they are by the same companies that totally skewed the pre-election polling samples to show Hillary winning by a country mile. They were drastically wrong then, and they are drastically wrong now and for the same reason. The secondary reason is the relentlessly negative reporting about President Trump since he became the Republican nominee.

So my advice is to just ignore the polls no matter what they claim, and even if they should be positive for our side. Ignoring polls is a liberating experience.

Winner! Winner! Winner!

We have today's winner of the Internet folks! Thank you for playing!

If monopolies are not allowed &
If there is only one “approved carrier” in a state
Then
Purchasing across state lines MUST be allowed.

Once that is in place REPLACE is in place IMO

Up early?
Don’t forget Ainsley is interviewing Lara and Eric Trump about their baby and many other things at 6:00 or shortly after.

Number NiiiiahiN (if you remember multiplication Rock) for President”Pops” Trump! They told the family the first night they spent together in the WH.

If this is true then everyone now has an exemption.
