If it doesn't do anything to reduce insurance premiums in 2018 for people who are dropping their coverage even now in 2017, then it's a complete waste of time and never should have been introduced.
It was Barasso, and he specifically referred to the non-repeal of health care money going to illegals. This should be a no-brainer fix.
HOWEVER, none of us know what is possible as far as amendment/fixes to a reconciliation bill. I will give Ryan that.
I think Trump has erred to support the bill as it is, but with Trump you’re never sure what the “it” is. He has in mind the final product, we have in mind the monstrosity in front of us. That is, BTW, very much like a builder architect who sees the final shape from a block of mud.
Do any of you long timers know anything about Amy Swonger just hired by Trump.
Lobbyist for Heather Podesta
Used to work for Lott, Cheney, and Mcconnell.
This is a point I have sort of made several times.
If it takes years to bring down the premiums..and you can’t afford them now..you are going to be screwed later because they jack the rate up 30% on you.
I get why the need to jack up the rate if pre existing conditions have to be covered.
The point is you have to make it affordable at the outset.
“If it doesn’t do anything to reduce insurance premiums...”
What makes you think that reducing insurance premiums is the key to solving the health care fiasco?
Why is President Trump investing so much political capital in PAUL RYAN’s version of OBAMACARE?......(DJT, this is a waste of a very limited commodity, why not pressure Ryan to work with your support base vs the other way around?)
The disaster for Trump is EXACTLY what he doesn’t seem to understand, HOWEVER LYIN RYAN understands this PERFECTLY!!! He has and ALWAYS WILL BE a NEVER TRUMPER!!! He is also an OUTSTANDING liar for Trump to not be able to see through him and his plan to MAKE SURE Trump is a one term POTUS!!!
