Several people here on FR have been very critical of the Freedom Caucus......>>>>>>>>>>
And they were horribly wrong. Its good that the bill did not pass, it was a sluch job for the Insurance Companies and Big Pharm. The Insurance companies are going orgasmic over the fact that people are paying 6 tghousand dollar deductables , skyrocketing their profits under a recreation of the pre Obamacare system.
That’s what was attempted by Ryan. It was a collossal sell out of America.
Now Ryan is talking about bringing health care legislation back for consideration, but the Lobbyists are all over it, while Americans themselves have little direct input.
That has to change, big time.
Stopping that bill was a good thing, but I’m not going to put the Freedom Caucus on a pedestal, they’re not pure as the driven snow. Some of the opposition was just pure obstructionism that would have occurred regardless of whether or not it was a good bill or a bad one, and may continue to occur in the future. Such individuals need to be called out. That’s why it’s a pity that Trump didn’t get the up or down vote that he called for, instead of Ryan pulling the bill.
