Paul Ryan should resign his leadership position. This was his turd, not President Trumps.
My fired so on the left are calling to gloat and my response to each has been “What are gloating about? If it’s that Ryan has demonstrated his ineptitude, then fine. But, you will find that I am in agreement with you that this turd legislation could never be polished to make it acceptable as some work of art”.
Ryan needs to be severely wounded and removed. He allowed crony capitalism to govern him.
The people were completely disrespected by this absurd legislation that is a slap in the face of all we have worked for these last 8 years.
If he ain’t whacked with a Clue by Fore and gets the message, as does his jester cohorts, then how are we to ever be a free people?
FU PR...
The fundamental issue is government control of the healthcare industry.
Lowering premiums is a red herring.
Taking back freebies is another red herring.
24 million citizens losing health care is a third red herring.
Getting government out of the Drs office is the critical issue. That is the only thing the people who elected Trump insist upon. That is one thing the power mongers in DC absolutely will not give up.
Well said Jim!
Now President Trump, can you please push for the full repeal you promised us?
I get that repealing ObamaCare will be a harder task than replacing it.
I get that Lyin’ Ryan has no control over the House - to the extent that he couldn’t even get House Repubs to pass this replacement bill.
I get that even if it made it out of the House - the chances of a Republican controlled Senate passing it are also slim and none.
I get all this and more. That repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with NOTHING is next to impossible. That waiting for it to “collapse” or “implode” just aint gonna work. I get that it will take months - even to the midterm - before any meaningful progress can be made.
But dammit Jim. They gotta start trying all over again. And this time - they gotta focus on repeal. Not repeal and replace.
Just repeal.
Start with the individual mandate if you like. Start with repealing the coverage for illegals. Start somewhere. Anywhere. If that measure fails then pick another aspect of ObamaCare and work on that. Then return later after awhile and try again. Try until the whole bloody mess is finally repealed.
BTTT
Pretty hard to argue against your reasoning.
We have been lied to once again. We were told that if we gave them the House, the Senate and the White House, it would be gone. We did so, based on the fact that they voted for repeal almost 50 times during the obunghole administration. Now, all of a sudden, it’s a problem? No, I don’t believe so. Moreover, I will no longer allow myself to be treated this way by these rotten, filthy, traitorous, ignorant wretches. I’m giving up on the ballot box. It doesn’t work anymore.
Exactly - the proposed “stage 2” and “stage 3” was all BS. Ryan care would simply cement the basic outline of Obamacare in place. As the Heritage Foundation said, the goal was to turn health-care into a Federally-regulated utility.
I do not believe Obamacare will “go bust” nor will it “collapse.”
yes, it can and will become increasingly perverse and destructive, especially for the middle-class. But the mandates all remain in place, and it will continue to receive funding from Fed.gov, paid for with debt and printed money. I have never understood why people think it will “collapse.”
This is NOT a win!
REPEAL PERIOD, Should have been completed ALREADY!!!
Sad thing is so many here (Free Republic) whom years ago said the Federal Government had No Authority for it to begin with are many of those cheering on the Ryan/Trump bill! (They will play the same game as the DNC, slip it in when they think there is less watching it).
Dont be a Fool! So many have Willfully believe Trump was going to Repeal Obamacare. But they Payed No Attention!
Wake Up Trump is NOT being Played, He is part of the Players!
Trump is in on Big Government... It just needs to be in his Favor... He NEVER was going to REPEAL Obamacare! Remember when I ask well before Trump was elected and was still running for the GOP, What do you think He is going to do? I ask people to Document what they though he was going to do, what he stood for, Yet No One would record what Trump Stood for or what He was going to do. Its because He has been and always was ALL OVER the Place.
I Say Again the Federal Government HAS to be SLAYED! There is No Fixing it for the Beast is now in Total Control and it will not go away, thus it has to be removed!
Return to God, His Order and a Moral people or continue as Slaves to the Beast and Much Darker Days Ahead!
The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemys outside the Nation.
Know this:
Return to God, a Moral people and Christendom! Anything Else if for Not! When you see the reunification of Christians into the One True Faith the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church the End to the Darkness will be Assured... Until then PRAY for All the Lost Souls!
God Bless
They should have kept that amendment in the Senate parliamentarian objected to ; illegals need not apply. And let the Senate kick it back to the House.
Why not repeal social security and Medicaid while we are at it? Nothing in the constitution about them. Do it now!!!!
The most unconstitutional provision of Obamacare was the personal mandate. As bad as this bill was, it eliminated that mandate. Now that the bill is dead, the mandates are alive. Planned parenthood will continue to be funded. Obamacare is still the law of the land.
For those who are celebrating this “victory” please look up the term “pyrrhic victory”.
Agree!
Yes, get the government out of the insurance business.
DOA
Start over and REPEAL the damn thing!!!!
Exactly!
THANK YOU!!!
Bernie Sanders agrees. Just saw a tweet from him about how happy he is the bill did not pass. Today.
