Well look at that. All of a sudden the Republicans want to play ball. What could have changed....could it be...Donald Trump knows how to play hardball?

What the GOP needs.

Or maybe what We the People need to break our addiction to electing these frauds.

Senator Bill Cassidy is a medical doctor.

From his 2015 plan:

•Under the Patient Freedom Act, states have three options: ◦Continue Obamacare and establish a state exchange ◦Do nothing while 5-10 million people lose their health care ◦Enact the Patient Freedom Act – choosing conservative, free market health care solutions •This plan lowers costs by repealing unpopular Obamacare federal mandates, including: ◦Individual mandate ◦Employer mandate ◦Federal essential health benefits mandate •The Patient Freedom Act ensures health care dollars go directly to the patient: ◦States could choose to receive this funding through either a per capita patient grant or a federal tax credit, depending on the state’s preference ◦However, unlike under Obamacare, this funding goes DIRECTLY to patients •Patients are empowered: ◦Patients receive their money through a Health Savings Account (HSA), empowering patients to make the best decision for them and their families ◦HSAs are reformed to allow patients to use their health care dollars for more options •Patients have the power of portability, protection and price transparency: ◦Patients can move between health insurance plans without penalty each year ◦Those with pre-existing conditions are protected ◦Providers must publish a cash price for services reimbursed from HSAs, empowering patients to make informed decisions

Let’s not start giving high fives just yet. It could turn out to be another crap sandwich.

Probably any bill that gets RINOs on board so it can pass is probably seriously flawed but that's where we are.

I urge all Americans to repeal ACA by refusing to comply with this obnoxious illicit statute.

Mitch doesn’t know how to count votes so this will fail.

> Enact the Patient Freedom Act – choosing conservative, free market health care solutions

The government needs to get the f out of our business. Government programs are not “free market solutions”. The lying word twisting fascists that control our government must be politically destroyed. That means most Republicans, doesn’t it? They’re no different than Democrats.

The GOP has totally disrespected its base, taken it for stupid, and thrived on manipulating them while pursuing in reality a slower progressive agenda.

We have no home, really. Trump wants some things we want. I never expected he’d do everything I support, but he’s done more of it than the gop congress has.

So, I’m ok with a 51% deal on taxes, a 60% deal on ocare, an 80% deal on immigration, and an 85% deal on the wall.

More than the gop would have gotten.

Is CAssidy trustworthy?

Will this be real repeal or one of those pseudo-repeals that the Republicans have been trying to foist on us?

Yes we do. It's called America which has been hijacked by the establishment which by definition is Leftist whether the Dems or the GOP.

Our job, which we choose to accept, is to recover America's Free Constitutional Republic. That means we defeat these corrupt establishment cartels, dismantle the 80% unconstitutional portion of the federal government, re-commandeer Arts and Entertainment, Education, Government, and the Media.

Impossible? Mission Impossible? Yes, but with God, who is with us, NOTHING is impossible.

No taxpayer cash for insurers? They require stabilization fraud, I mean funds.

After reading post #13, it could be a good bill, one that preempt the pretenders in the Senate, you know, pretending to care about their country.
