This is an utter abandonment of conservative principles. The federal government has no business being involved in medical care.
Seven years ago, when Obamacare was rammed through on party lines, I never would have guessed we would see a Republican Congress passing a bill promoted by a Republican President that enshrines Obamacare’s key principles.
This is just another stop on the way to full-blown socialized medicine, courtesy of the Republican Party, with Donald Trump leading the way.
Pitiful.
Sickening.
It would take another Great Depression to even have a chance of getting government out of health care. And, if there was one, we'd be just as likely to get single payer.
Trump and Freedom Caucus have made the bill as conservative as it can be.
That ship sailed in 2009. It cannot be turned around with a straight repeal vote because that would simply fail in the Senate. The only choices we have now is gov-run health care or socialized medicine-lite. I choose lite to buy a little economic breathing room. I like having more HSA possibilities and letting people pay cash for medical services.
