GOP pushing budget limits on ObamaCare(It's going down)

Republicans are pushing the limits of Congress’s complex budget process to finish up an ObamaCare repeal bill in time for Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The House Budget Committee could bring back its budget resolution from April – which never made it to the chamber floor – to deal an immediate blow to the president’s healthcare law after he leaves office.

The unusual move is among several strategies under consideration to speed up legislation to repeal ObamaCare, which has been a central GOP campaign promise since 2010.

Trump will get more good things for America done in his first 100 days than politicians have for the last 100 years which is really nothing , mostly amnesties, more government , bad trade deals , more loss of freedom , more spending, more regulations , more debt.that’s true with only a few minor exceptions with Reagan and IKe .But Reagan was fooled into signing an amnesty and never did nothing against Japan’s unfair trade practices which Trump was warning about even then in the 1980’s.

Never would have happened without Trump. Think about that, National Review and Weekly Standard.

I hope they do away with tax penalties too.

[Emergencyawesome]

The GOP is always considering options.It’s time to act.

[Huskrrrr]

Remove individual mandates too.

“which has been a central GOP campaign promise since 2010”

Yet they’ve been fully funding this monstrosity for 6 plus years.

If I had my way.....lol

"which has been a central GOP campaign promise since 2010."

The Founding States gave Congress the power to override presidential vetos with a 2/3 vote of each House. This is evidenced by the suspected election year stunt by RINO-controlled Congress to override Obama veto of bill to allow 9/11 victims to sue Saudia Arabia.

The problem is that disorganized, low-information patriots have only been able to maintain simple majority control of each House for the last four election cycles.

But it is also suspected that corrupt Congress doesn’t want to be able to impeach and override vetoes in order to protect a lawless, last-term president who unconstitutionally does their dirty work for them.

So Congress arguably made Obama’s dirty work a higher priority than overriding a presidential veto to repeal Obamacare.

Boy, for not even being on office yet, Trump is sure getting a lot done.

[Shady]

Just got my health insurance costs for next year, a 33. % increase, repeal this garbage.

[Gene Eric]

Never too soon. 30% premium hike effective Jan 1, 2017.

[dhs12345]

That’ll kill it for sure.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The same dirt bags in the GOP who said that Trump would cost them the House and Senate ate MASSIVE CROW..Trump won them EVERYTHING..now they have to deliver, Adios Commie Obamacare!

[dp0622]

They are not us. They are fascists in the true sense of the word.

I swear to God if I was in the shape I was 10 years ago I’d go to Columbus circle protests with a Trump hat, shirt and tattoo.

I still might.

He (Obumbler) said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.", October 25, 2010

Obama to GOP: 'I won' , 01/24/09

Uh, this article failed to point out that the “arcane” budget reconciliation process was EXACTLY how the Dems got obamacare passed in the first place, AND it didn’t take months either as the Dems rammed obamacare through on Christmas Eve. Least anyone forget or be mislead by one-sided articles like this one!

So Congress arguably made Obama’s dirty work a higher priority than overriding a presidential veto to repeal Obamacare.

The previous time they attempted a House override vote for his vote of the bill to repeal Obamacare, it came up short because of lack of Democrat support (no surprise), and even if it had, there were certainly not 67 votes in the Senate. We will need reconciliation and a new President to do that.

[Col Frank Slade]

Yup. They rammed it through on Christmas Eve. Every Dem voted for it and every Rep voted against it.

The bill would likely take one or two years before the law is officially repealed. That gives time for Republicans to map out their own approach to universal healthcare, which would likely have to include a transition for the 22 million people who currently have healthcare.

Transition to what? Most of those 22 million have healthcare because the government is subsidizing it. If the subsidies end then what difference will one or two years make? They're going to be on their own so better sooner than later.
