Repeal Obamacare
National Review ^ | March 10, 2017 | Chip Roy

Posted on 03/11/2017 5:08:29 PM PST by Twotone

As Washington people go around doing Washington things and talking to other Washington people about Washington-focused health-care reform, we would do well to take a step back to simplify the debate in front of us.

We are the most prosperous country in the history of the world. As such, we have many of the best hospitals, doctors, nurses, and medicines available. We have hundreds of insurers that take risk — for profit — to insure us. We have fairly broad, but expensive and not always effective, social safety nets in which we pool our resources through taxation in an effort to help those who need it.

I just heard a discussion of this article by Mark Levin. Looks pretty doable after all.

The Uniparty eunichs that are Fedzilla’s attendants in Congress will never straight out repeal Obamacare.
They want to preserve the structure that gives Fedzilla power over everyone’s healthcare.

But it’s time to use this kind of information & tell our Reps & Senators WE KNOW YOU CAN. STOP STALLING!

Where’s the Tea Party when you need them?

Seems you have to abort RyanCare before we can get to ObamaCare...

Pound a stake through the heart of Traitorobamacare. Then soak it with gasoline and set it on fire, Then dump the ashes in a vat of aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. Cook it do dryness, then seal the container in lead and bury it deep in the former high level nuclear waste repository site at Yucca Mountain. Seal the site.

I cannot believe Trump is falling for Ryans lies about repealing Obamacare in “phases!” Trump has to know this will never, ever happen!

3. Let Capitalism prosper.

Phase 1 will end Obamacare. The Senate rules for reconcilation with a Budget require what is being done to enable ending Obamacare with just 51 votes. Any other technique would allow filibusters and require 60 votes. No Democrat will vote for repeal.
Sit tight and let the system work. Investigate yourself and you will understand.

"Need to be sent to Ryan and everyone"

I suspect that the pro-Obamacare uniparty sent Obama a bill to repeal Obamacare probably as an election year stunt.

Also, does anybody know why Pres. Trump doesn’t seem to be encouraging the Senate “nuclear option” for a full repeal of Obamacare?

Your first sentence gives the impression that you haven’t read the bill.
