Trump threatens conservatives who oppose new healthcare plan

Posted on 03/09/2017 7:00:44 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

President Trump scolded conservative groups speaking out about the Republican plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare, a report on Thursday said.

“This is going to be great. You’re going to make it even greater. I’m going to work hard to get it done,” Trump told the gathering of conservative leaders this week, CNN reported, citing sources who attended the hour-long meeting.

He also warned the groups — including the Club for Growth, the Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks and the Tea Party Patriots — that they “are helping the other side” with their remarks about the GOP plan, which they derided as “ObamaCare Lite,” according to the report.

Trump, who was joined by White House advisers Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, also said he would pressure lawmakers opposing repeal and replace by campaigning against them in their home districts.

If President Trump isn’t careful this will turn out to be his “read my lips” moment and make him a one term POTUS.

“You’re going to make it better” is a threat?

Interesting.

Sounds to me like a “Put up or shut up.”

“Where are the threats spoken of in the headline?”

I think this line is probably the one unless I’m missing something (which is always possible) :

“also said he would pressure lawmakers opposing repeal and replace by campaigning against them in their home districts.”

This plan is a flaming bag of dog crap left on the porch of the GOP base. Instead of the walkback, he went for the doubledown.

Passage of this thing will make tax reduction impossible.

Most low information voters only read the headlines.

After witnessing the #NeverTrumpers come out in force and sing in unison how bad the replacement bill was, I have to give the President the benefit of the doubt.

Wherever #NeverTrumpers appear on an issue, there is an immediate suspicion of their position, and the issue risks being discredited because of them.

Ryancare is not a repeal of Obamacare, it is a rearranging of it.

Trump is risking his only base of support, we the people, if he stakes his Presidency on Paul Ryan’s plan.

Lesson for politicians : capitalism = freedom = prosperity. government ownership = socialism = venezuela colllapse.

Government involvement in healthcare is the problem

Read Ayn Rand's Atlas shrugged

For efficiency you need competition and free markets free of government regulation , unbridled capitalism = freedom = prosperity and lower prices for example there is less government involvement in the electronics industry so it creates higher quality and lower prices as in smartphones . I bought an android phone for $9 that has 4 computers on more computing power than any in the 1980’s super computers etc. the dollar tree and smart phone electronics industry lowering of prices increasing of quality in tech and apps

I have read the highlights of this plan. It id a bad piece of legislation. I wonder who really wrote it. It will not solve any of the problems we have and will still keep us on the road to total fiscal ruin.

Bite the Bullet and break up the medical monopolies, take the GDP hit and let prices fall 80% or more. That is the real win. Health care we really afford.
