Actually Trump ran on “repeal and replace”, and promised a “great play” that would “take care of everybody”. The big problem is Obamacare did what it was supposed to do, it destroyed what millions of Americans already had through work. Simply repealing won’t turn back the clock and will leave those folks who have been victimized once already, many with pre-existing conditions, in the lurch. That’s why Trump emphasized his “great plan”. Just repealing would be a betrayal of those voters, and probably make Trump a one term president.
It’s easy to say “just repeal it” when you don’t have to deal with the consequences.
Yeah. You can’t really repeal Obamacare any more than you can repeal a bomb blast. It already destroyed the markets, as you indicated.
I will say this though: it’s a good thing that insurance is getting decoupled from your employer. Of course, instead of Hussein passing your employer’s the tax break onto the employee so insurance would become more portable, he eliminated the tax break altogether so that he could give the money to his derelict voters.
I hope the bill passes because it eliminates a lot of Husseincare and its failure to pass effectively halts the president’s agenda. This is essentially a prerequisite for tax reform and halting is on those things will emboldened the left even further to stop wall funding.
Also, unlike the left with Husseincare, we wouldn’t be emotionally attached to the law and reflexively opposed to any major changes later on. “Strengthening Obamacare” to them means more bailouts, welfare or moving to single payer. For us, there’s a multitude of market-based ad-ons that can be passed individually later.
Agreed, Trump did make some promises that have to be in the new law.
You are full of BS.
