Leaked? I hope it’s a trap to catch a leaker.

[Repeal 16-17]

While I would get the federal government completely out of the healthcare industry, this plan is good enough for now.

Is that the same Congressional budget office that scored Obama care in the first place?

The replacement plan would have no individual mandate. Instead, there would be a penalty of 30% for those who fail to maintain coverage.

30% of what?

The individual mandate is dead already. The IRS will not be collecting information about coverage.

This article ain’t right...

[Vendome]

“The legislation would take down the foundation of Obamacare, including the unpopular individual mandate,...”

Uhn huh and then you humbly inform us there is in fact an individual mandate:

“Instead, there would be a penalty of 30% for those who fail to maintain coverage. “

We don't need repeal and replace. We need repeal and a free market. Let all health insurance companies compete across state lines. Companies that want to offer coverage to your 26 year old 'kids' can do so but at the expense of the policy holder, not the rest of us. You can limit exclusions for pre-existing conditions in portability but not in overall coverage. let there be a limited window for those with per-existing conditions to buy insurance. But for folks who wait until they get a diagnosis to start shopping, too bad. Allow and incentivize HSA's and then let the market take it from there.

I knew back in 2011 when the repukes started talking about 'repeal and replace' obamacare that they were going to screw us over when they got the chance. Thank goodness we have Trump in the White House and not Romney or Jeb!

This a deliberate leak by the Administration.

[Teacher317]

DO NOT REPLACE!!! REPEAL and allow us to go back to what we had! DC has NO business being involved in our Health Care!!

(The one and only one aspect of the ACA to retain is the ability for those with pre-existing conditions to find some sort of coverage. The rest must ALL go, and NOT be replaced with ObamaCare Lite)

[stylin19a]

still stinks. lose it all together.

Without getting the cost end of the equation under control, anything that replaces Obamacare is going to be hideously expensive, too. The way they bill with the sneaky out of network specialists that you’ve never heard of, procedures that were never requested, it’s totally out of control. Add in masses of people who are not going to pay meaning that those who do have to foot the bill and it’s going to be expensive. The entire medical industry is inflated beyond all reason because of this. Aging boomers with full coverage aren’t going to be around a whole lot longer, that’s what they’re hanging their hats on as it stands. There’s a collapse coming. Better get on top of it now. Later generations are as a whole not nearly the cash cow and are in no mood to get nailed.

[kvanbrunt2]

sounds like Tom Prices plan.

Sorry, but I LIKE THE PLAN. In a perfect world, the federal government would be limited to the military, border protection, and federal courts - roughly 20% of what the government spends now.

...and Republicans would be lucky to come in ahead of the Green Party in the 2020 Presidential election.

In the REAL WORLD we need to pull out of Obamacare in a way that will not make Trump hated by 95% of the country (50% is bad enough)...and I think this goes a long way towards that goal.

[T123]

Politico posted the bill. This bill will do absolutely nothing to reduce health care costs.
