Repeal is fine. It’s the replace that scares me.

Quit screwing around and do your job, Eddie.
Sounds like he got a little taste o’ Trump before the press conference.
Just be sure to get rid of the mandate and sunset the preexisting conditions and all will be fine.
how come it’s taking so long. why is it so hard to write out:
“effective immediately, obamacare (or ACA whatever) is entirely repealed.”
let’s see the repeal bill now, ryan.
I remain of the opinion that this mess is so harmful in so many ways, that the only cure is complete repeal coupled with simultaneous passage of bills not more than five pages long and written in the Arial font with 12 pitch. (I am dreaming, right?)
These bills would salvage the few legitimate thoughts existing and address the host of ways in which government intrusion into delivery of healthcare is unreasonable. One other valuable initiative would be making it easier to pierce the corporate vail, and do away with tort laws that provide millions to lawyers in class action suits and only thousands to victims.
Anything less gives Republican and Democrat politicians (read patricians) too much power. I think replacing a 3,000 page bill with 1,000 or 2,000 pages will not get the job done. I am afraid that once again politicians of a different flavor will offer enchanting material security, while obscuring subservience to rules vastly increasing their power.
I am worried politicians so delight in power, they will retain many of these infallible bureaucracies. The regulations which guide their actions are administrative laws. As such they are the soft underbelly of our Constitution.
Pursuit of happiness always means spiritual prosperity within the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms. Once again, I fear politicians will offer enchanting material security, while obscuring subservience to rules vastly increasing their power. Unless Obamacare is obliterated we can end up with continued attacks on our Bill of Rights. People have capabilities to figure out problems like this that governments never give them the opportunity to use.
Where’s the betting pool?
I’m going w/ ‘repeal AND a replace’ and a bill LARGER than the original.
I’m just not confident enough to place anything on the ‘Free Market solutions’ slip though.

President Trump said today that the White House repeal/replace bill would be ready in early March. Looks to me like Ryan is just grand-standing.
Thanks to Matt Drudge. He lit the fire under Ryan’s a$$.
Good.
Congress is on recess next week, no?
So it is actually the week after that that they are talking about introducing repeal. According to Trump, the tax cuts aren’t coming until after Obamacare is dealt with, which is unfortunate, because that means they won’t have the cuts taking effect until 2018—and so much of the impact will come after the midterms.
A bill that repeals Obamacare and then delays the effective date for a couple of years is not a repeal.
I’m not sure “next week” is accurate in this headline. Hotair may not know that congress is in recess next week, so that actually “returns after the President’s day holiday, is a week from Monday, not Tuesday.
