Destroying Ryan would be nice! He’s Boehner minus the tears.

It’s an interesting thought. I’d like to think you’re right.

Trump is a clever guy, but I’m not sure he’s this clever.

Boy would I love it if he comes out behind the other plan next week.

Interesting thought. I’ve wondered why President Trump hasn’t destroyed Ryan, this might be it.

It doesn’t take wishes. It takes doing.

Good luck with that.

The many thousands of employers who shifted their healthcare costs over to the taxpayer will not simply restore those benefits by volunteering.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Employers previously volunteered to subsidize insurance.

If the speaker cannot get a bill passed by Republicans, it proves something — a lack of leadership in the Speaker.

So this sounds good. Force Ryan to deliver, otherwise he’ll be exposed.

The public wants a better healthcare bill more than anything else. It’s crucial.

This analysis makes me look at this in a new light. Good.

over something that I have no control over.

Exactly which is why your first sentence makes no sense. The choice you claim has nothing what-so-ever to do with the discussion.

Most here that are complaining do not hate Trump, they want to save him from the UniParty and it is not easy since so many here that hated ObamaCare are willing to functionally continue it which is what the so-called repeal does. This three part crap will never happen for the same reason they are not included in this bill. They don't want them and they can't pass them.

Paul Ryan, a man whom I hate, explained it pretty well and plainly this morning.

I don’t think he was lying. What he said made sense.

A repeal bill isn’t going to be voted on in the senate, because our fearless leader, Bitch McConnell, left the filibuster in place.

So it has to be done through reconciliation, which has certain requirements.

Yes, having to navigate the useless coward, ridden GOP senate sucks, but I don’t see any other option. Do you?

If so, what is it?

And yes, my choice has everything to do with the discussion.

I choose not to caucus with hysterical pearl clutchers around here.

I voted for Trump ,because I trust him, and I’m going to continue to trust him.

And I further believe what Ryan said this morning, although it’s possible that he could make a fool out of me for doing so.

Rand paul seems more a pretent fighter of the swamp. How about all the other stuff going on regarding the executive order and rule repeals? that seems to be going well.

The rants seem to come from two camps:

1- Pure libertarians who want to abolish Medicaid along with Obamacare.
>

And this is a *bad* thing? I thought Constitutional govt was the ‘Conservative’ way??

>
2- Fake conservatives who are happy with their Obamacare subsidies and don’t want them repealed.

Yes, gripes will come from those whom you attempt to take away the FREE candy....(C), (R) or the like.

Agreed, do all we can now and move forward to 2018. We are well on our way to success in this matter.

>
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148) is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.

What so hard about that?

Because all of the foundations of employer provided health care was destroyed and can’t simply be wished back into existence.
>

Right...’cuz the Free Market will *NEVER* rush to fill in the void (rolls eyes).

Nobody is going to sit on their laurels and lose possible market share.

>
The problems arose because politicians had to load it with carrots and sticks to get it passed and to ensure that all of the deadbeats who wouldn’t or couldn’t pay would be covered by subsidies.

But because we have imported the third world into our country and half of the millenials are incapable of working, the citizens working had to forgo their good insurance to ensure crappy coverage for all.

Obama and the Democrats lowering the bar instead of helping those below.

And the involuntary servitude is moral...how?!

Bill #1 (above)
Bill #2 Approve sales across State lines, persons get the same tax benefits as employers, eliminate the ER provisions (or make it ‘life threatening’ only they cannot turn away), HSAs, a la carte plans (make insurance INSURANCE again)

...THEN see in a year/two what else can be done to better (not CONTROL).

Make them vote. Put them on record. Then primary them.
