Good. Lets get it right this time. Repeal and replace with something looking like a free market, now, not after some future election.

“Restart” after being stopped for the weekend? These negotiations rarely take place on weekends, so the talks never stopped.

White House Restarts Talks With Freedom Caucus To Repeal Obamacare


I’ll bet that title is misleading. I’ll bet it’s to “repeal and replace” obamacare.

And that is a shame.

The Ryancare Route — Winning by Losing?

Did the Freedom Caucus just pull the Republican Party back off the ledge, before it jumped to its death? A case can be made for that.

I hope he’s saying something along the lines of, “You write it then, and make it something the moderates will also agree to.”

This would be a good step.

I hope the FC and President Trump simply focus on a couple of the items in Donald Trump's seven-point health care reform plan from his 2016 campaign:

1. Completely repeal Obamacare, including the individual mandate.
2. Enable consumers to buy insurance across state lines.
3. Exclude all health insurance premiums from taxation, not just employer-sponsored insurance.
4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts.
5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers.
6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states.
7. Allow U.S. consumers to buy drugs from overseas.

I know everyone wants #1, but I could accept the notion that this is not politically feasible in one fell swoop.

To me, #3, #4 and #6 should be no-brainers. I think #2 seems very feasible, but I don't know what kind of different state interests might put pressure on their representatives in Washington to fight this.

The basic problem was that Paul RINO refused to negotiate with the real conservatives . Rino ended up with a very bad bill. ( I don’t think Trump understood it!! He really needs NEWT in the white House fast!) Did you know, for example, that your bloated premiums under obamacare would not go down. Not 1 dime!! Did you know that part of that bloated premium helped cover people that don’t pay.That is not fair!! Did you know that the so called “Tax credit”. was not a tax credit at all but a transfer payment from the US treasury even if they don’t pay any taxes. That bill stunk!!

Ryan and the RINOs have no intention of repealing Obamacare.
They are the attendants of Fedzilla and Fedzilla derives great power from controlling all health care decisions and medical records.
They will try to preserve as much of Obamacare as they possibly can to preserve that power for Fedzilla.
They serve Fedzilla, not the citizens.

Oh I guess President Trump does know what side of the toast has the butter on it.

He better know who put him in office.

Repeal the 0bamacare law now and make the effective date two years from now. That way the Democrats have to work with the Republicans on the replacement.

Do WHATEVER it takes to repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood.

There should be fist fights in Congress like they have in Japan. DON’T keep it civil. Tyranny is not civil.

If legislators need to go back to duels with swords or pistols, then do it.

I’m not kidding. If you don’t repeal, there will be war. A literal war where people die. And some of those people will be the spineless and traitorous politicians who sold American citizens down the river.

Too many of us are unwilling to live and have our posterity live under tyranny.

Period.

Part of Trump’s track record for deal making is walking out of negotiations. I saw that the lefts celebration of Trump walking away from this not as a failure like they thought but as a necessary step toward making a deal.

It oughta START here:

And END there.

AFTER the monstrosity is obliterated, The Administration can talk to Congress about what measures to take to remediate the insurance marketplace, like allowing competition across state lines. We don’t need another 2,500-page legislative massacre to implement simple, sensible things.

Sandler Sales Methodology 101.

After you take them to a “no”, it’s the start of the beginning of a new process to get them to “yes”.

Here’s what the new bill should be:

“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.”

It’s my understanding that it’s already been filed by U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R AL.

Just do it!

But, but they said it was dead. LOL

Art if the Deal?

Walk out the Door and they chase you before you get the Elevator Lobby. It worked when Trump was trying to renegotiate the Loan on his Yacht.

The Bank refused so he threw the keys on the Table and told the Bank they owned it. What they didn’t know is that he threw his Car Keys on the Table.

I am beginning to think that Trump saying he would work with the Democrats to get something done might have lighted a fire under the Republicans.

Unfortunately, the RINO Republicans aren’t there yet. I would prefer to see the Freedom Caucus follow them into the Room, not lead the way.

Just another wait and see situation. Talk and NYT Articles are cheap.
