CORRECTION: They could with any other person than President Donald J. Trump....ROFL...you ain’t playin that ole game anymore folks...
What’s wrong with “repeal without replacement”?
Because the people will demand it because their premiums didn't go down, but up geometrically. And, they haven't been able to keep their doctor. In fact, doctors are leaving the system if they can.
Methinks a lot of HOR constitutional conservatives are phonies. They aren't about to abandon their paymasters in the insurance companies. JMHO
Obfuscation, obstruction and sandbagging. Run out the clock. It’s the DC way.
Drain the swamp includes Republican swamp creatures too.
My vote: repeal.
Then, without the liberals holding any leverage to force a bad replacement, they can negotiate on any replacement proposals. My top choice for replacement is freedom - no new legislation, just repeal the existing terrible and unconstitutional law.
1) Repeal and Delay is not viable because at the rate it’s collapsing Obamacare will flame out totally long before then. Unless Republicans want to shovel even more massive subsidies into it, which I am guessing they do not.
2) It’s dishonest. Trump and Republicans were elected to kill this monstrosity. They are trying to bait Democrats into a tough vote just before the 2018 election. That is being too cute by half. Do the right thing and don’t play politics.
There are a few ideas Trump and others have had, such as allowing insurance to cross state lines and thus be portable.
Just remove the “pay or play” provision and obozocare will fall apwart like a TV sweater when you pull a thread.
The ACA was designed with tentacles that would be politically difficult to kill. Kill the young and well mandate/penalty. Allow lower-level competition. Create state block grants for the truly sick, but downscaling every year end route to elimination.
No matter how this is done there will be screaming.
“there’s nothing to replace it with
We didn’t have a government to replace the King with either.
Trump ran on repeal and replace, which is a promise he will need to keep.
The hills Trump has to climb are steep and slippery - fortunately he has four wheel drive and studded tires.....
President Trump can force their hand in 2 minutes and have a lot of fun at the same time.
Executive Order
All persons that can be classified as a “Federal Employee” that is not a current member of the US Armed Forces, SHALL enroll in and purchase their own private and family health insurance from the “Affordable Care Exchange” in the State they legally reside.
GAME OVER!
Any repeal and delay must include removing Congress’ exemption.
Repeal it immediately and entirely. So what if it causes so-called “chaos”. That will light a fire under their filthy clymers to get an acceptable replacement quickly instead of foot dragging for years and years. It’s put up or shut up time. No more excuses.
If the Repubs have not realized the truth of this election, they better wise up FAST.
The tide has turned .. we know what has to be done. The Congress needs to support the changes we need .. and not play games with Trump’s agenda.
If the Repubs REFUSE TO BE HELPERS .. AND INSTEAD CHOOSE TO BE SPOILERS OF TRUMP’S AGENDA .. they will not be sitting in their fancy offices at the next election.
We do not have time to play their childish games. Time for the grown-ups (if there are any) to step forward and LEAD .. and stop all this fooling around. Time to earn your salaries .. WHICH OUR TAXES PAY FOR.
FIND OUT WHAT TRUMP’S AGENDA IS .. AND DO IT ..!!!!!
