***This is a disaster for Paul Ryan, not for President Trump.***
Oh yes it is, because he put his eggs in the Ryancare basket. He tried to shut out, then insulted the members of the Freedom Caucus. This bill would have screwed Vets, the very people he promised over and over to help.
Just remember October and when Ryan cancelled the campaign event in Wisconsin. I felt all along when it appeared that Trump was giving the lead to Ryan, he knew his legislative history and knew if he wanted to get anything done in DC, he had to marginalize Ryan.
Next is McConnell in that his wife tweeting to someone to sue the hell out of Trump. Elaine Chow pulled the tweet I’m sure when someone got in touch with her.
Still, we were going to have to go through this phase and better to get it out of the way early than to depend on snakes.
We don’t want to pay for others insurance. Buy your own or go to the ER!!
The GOP has full charge and Obamacare is the law of the land. If it flops, it is now the GOP that hangs.
Absolutely a win for planned parenthood. From the same party that’s been telling us they are against abortion for 40+ years. Those same guys love Obamacare. They are all getting rich and laughing behind our backs.
“I think Ryan was channeling Boehner (except for the crying.)”
The day is not over yet!
Uh no. It’s not the ‘people’s’ fault to want less costly healthcare delivery.
You can bet all you got that the high cost of healthcare delivery is a direct result of government interference. Every doctor, nurse with any experience will know that to be true.
Every health insurer makes claims tables based on Medicare RVUs and Medicare, in turn, bases its RVU values on these claims tables. This forms a vicious cycle leading to unrealistic high pricing.
Doctors and clinics spend far too much time arguing with Medicare and insurance companies about getting coverage for patients and trying to find ways to make the Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance company ‘framework’ fit with the reality of practicing medicine. They often have to start padding their care categories with every little item because the reimbursements come in at a small percentage of what is claimed. This adds to the vicious cycle.
Direct care clinics, also called retainer-fee clinics or concierge clinics, operate without insurance or Medicare. An individual can pay their direct care physician $150 to $200 a month and receive an around-the-clock response. Appointments are usually 30 minutes to 45 minutes versus 6 minutes to 12 minutes for an insurance funded clinic.
We’ll see. The nation has moved right.
I can see why you say that, but a guy saying he’s going to tackle Welfare, won’t be afraid to tackle heath care.
Of course this remains to be seen.
Bad software at the state exchange.
Bad software at the state Medicaid department.
Bad software at the insurance company.
Bad software at the IRS.
One-quarter of these could be dealt with by eliminating the state exchanges. A long-term solution to the other problems may involve convincing late-night TV-host comedians to administer some richly-deserved reamings to the software industry.
WE WANT TRUMP
WE DON'T WANT THE GOPe!
Mountainman it may be a win in the eyes of the national lib media but it wont be for long. Obama is about to meet his Waterloo in the surveillance scandal that is approaching.
RYAN IS A TOTAL FAILURE!!! (and someone here last nite said he was “brilliant”?!?!). I wonder if it was not deliberate on his part to push this turd forward.
I’m already hearing on Fox News that the GOP will work with RAT’s
to “Fix” Obamacare, which means more funding.
Many of us warned that this was coming. And it appears that a fix
is now in for Obamacare.
All this intentional Ryan, had to know this bill was just Obamacare light and would not pass. THinking about the 2018 election, and a further deteriation of Ocare. Also we will never move in a more free market direction, that is now clear. Put in justices, lower taxes, pass infrastucture, and keep Dems out of office.
Medicaid is for the poor, what are you thinking? And you don’t buy into it.
Congrats for beating the pundits on this.
LOL. Ryan couldn’t get elected outside of his district.
Romney/Ryan did not even carry WI in 2012.
LOL
Worked for the creature from the swamp.
Our local communist Atlanta media outlet WSB is saying that TRUMP told RYAN to pull the bill
Anything to taint Trump
