Jeffrey H. Anderson is executive director of the newly formed 2017 Project, which is working to advance a conservative reform agenda.

Bill Kristol is the Board Chair of this new group with Spencer Abraham (MI ping). That gives me pause. The article presents a decent argument for the Upton bill, but is it a trap or is it a good tactic along the way to full REPEAL?

As for Landrieu’s bill, if Republicans can’t successfully argue that Congress has no constitutional power to compel commerce (the basic point of the successful — in that vein — challenge to Obamacare under the Commerce Clause), if they can’t argue that Congress has no power to compel anyone to sell an insurance plan, or, by extension, to compel a doctor to see a patient, etc., then we’re in sad shape

Anyone who doesn't understand we'll never be able to argue against the Senate taking over this process, never be able to argue against a Fred Upton bill with teeth, a bill that will at least temporarily show the world that the democrats care, that the dems ARE the good guys, that the pubbies are now voting with them and showing it's the EEVIL insurance companies who are at fault is....

a bigger fool than Fred Upton. And let's face it, the only thing good about Fred Upton is his niece........

Just stick with full repeal, who cares how many times its vetoed and overridden by the dems. As long as we send them lifelines, they'll be able to blame us, as long as we keep 100% opposition, they own it, wear it, and will finally suffer for it.
