Mortgage deductions are a bad idea, too—but not as destructive.

all deductions are unnecessary if taxes are based on something other than income ...

But even with the reality of the income tax we have, the mortgage deduction is unnecessary and bad policy. Canadians manage housing just fine without it.

....”Put up a bill for a complete repeal.”...

YEs! ..AND HERE IT IS!

With a simple two-page document, an Alabama congressman o Brooks has filed a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives to repeal Obamacare.

...”THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORVABLE CARE ACT.”...

“This Act may be cited as the ‘Obamacare Repeal Act,’ the bill states.

“Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted,” the bill states.

And that’s it - one sentence.

Saw elsewhere that Ryan has announced they’re meeting again to try to get together on a bill they can pass. Looks like somebody reminded them of that George Washington revolutionary war quote “Gentlemen, either we hang together or else we’ll hang individually”.

Bet whatever they come up with relies a lot more on the reconciliation process now that we know it actually could have been used ...

I support the Mo Brooks bill.

I believe that YOU support the Mo Brooks bill.

WHEN will the House Freedom Caucus announce THEIR support for the Mo Brook bill?

Let’s get the House majority (said to be 83%!) on record here!

Or are the HFC “playing games” as directed by the Koch brothers?

Healthcare is the only sector in the economy that expects you to sign a blank check, hand it over and they’ll fill in the amount later. Fix that, and we’ll be on the way to free market reform in healthcare. Healthcare is currently run by liberal liars, shysters, thieves and pirates.

May we all just remind ourselves that the so-called "Affordable" Care Act was conceived and passed by individuals who, as "Progressives," longed for control over one-sixth of the American economy and believed that "health care" was the means by which they could accomplish that herculean task?

In other words, ACA was a vehicle for accomplishing the first phase of that takeover--a real Trojan Horse of the 21st Century.

President Ronald Reagan's wisdom and discernment of the purposes of such legislation could provide caution and an understanding for those Administrative and Congressional individuals looking for a right path today.

A "slippery slope" whose authors and promoters in the Congress and Senate have not been altogether trustworthy in protecting the limitations imposed on every American by their Constitution must be examined carefully in order to preserve liberty for generations to come. Reagan points out that "slippery slope" in a way that even constitutionally-illiterate Americans can understand today.

I agree - get Newt in the White House with Trump ASAP.

And get rid of Ryan - he’s NO leader.

President Trump, remember, it helps negotiations if you don’t Tweet insults to the folks you’re trying to work with.

I’m not holding my breath.

This. Exactly. Start with a clean repeal bill to make the critters go on record.
There I go getting caught daydreaming again!

REPEAL must mean REPEAL, not “REPAIR” which is what the first bill did and went downhill after that.

Will be watching closely and staying close to my congressman.

Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller to the rescue!
Crossing fingers they will be able to mount an effort.

Good, but there will need to be some things that some Republicans don’t want, like the refundable tax credit and retention of Medicaid expansion through 2025, for it to avoid being a poison pill for Republican Congressional majorities in 2018.

Didn’t follow you at all.

We have a majority.

What idiot would think we couldn’t repeal it completely?

No.

Newt endorsed Ryancare - which tells me that the ‘couch episode’ with Nancy Pelosi wasn’t a fluke but his real feelings. He needs to not be anywhere near the levers of power.
