Then use your power to get Ryan to bring that to a vote.
It’s simple. We all want that. Once that’s passed, Trump has to sign it.
Keep it simple. Repeal Obamacare outright by terminating it at the end of the current policy cycle, end of year. Then, separately, work on a free market replacement with protections for pre-existing conditions and the truly poor.
Ah, just like a ratcheting pliers... 12 steps backwards and now 2 steps forwards.
Heard this on Rush. I’m glad to hear that since Trump’s tweet they’ve gone beyond the obstructionist phase. I fully support them with these two demands. It’s reasonable and I would like to hear what naysayers have to say about this proposal (it’s not just saying no anymore, which was a fair criticism). This should be a doable deal. The Tuesday Group better not turn to obstructionism now.
“Throw all the conservatives out of Congress, they can’t get anything done! They are obstructing the march to socialism!”
The psychosis taking hold here is frightening.
Thoughts?
Freedom Caucus has responded to Trump’s trash-talk threats with 2 “demands.”
Rush covered this today, but this Freedom Caucus-response article hadn’t been posted on FR.
“Leave bamicare for those that want it, and open up the cross state markets for those that want it and have pre existing conditions...
That way, we don't have to pay for abortions, sex changes, drug treatments, booze treatments, pregnancies tests, condoms, birth control, breast implants, penis enlargements, etc for those of us that do not use these functions”
I like it!!!
Meadows also said he can swallow the AHCA’s refundable tax credits, which amount to federal spending and a new entitlement. “We got over that three weeks ago… We fully believe we’re creating a new entitlement by doing that. That being said, our main goal, our only goal, is to lower premiums.”
The Freedom Caucus is giving up and allowing Paul Ryan to create a new entitlement program. Another win for big government.
What they call tax credits are subsidies.
That's a huge concession by the FC. If Ryan won't deal with that then his whole bill was just another RINO dog and pony act.
All tbey gotta do is put Rino Ryans resignation on the bill and im all in!
Sound reasonable to me. The essential health benefits mandate repeal would help me out. Even some FReepers seem to think if maternity benefits aren’t mandated, no one will have it. A free market will offer options so people can buy the insurance they need and can afford.

Freedom Caucus conciliation to Trump’s RyanCare bill.
RyanCare2 on the table?
This has gotten very little attention and affects us all.

Stick to your guns, repeal the dam evil law. Send the same bill congress sent to President Obama. You know the one Ryan used for a show vote.
