Should just let Obamacare collapse.

Do a full repeal, put together a bill with all the free market solutions, and leave the Medicaid/subsidy part of Obamacare for those still struggling. That takes away any arguments from the moderates and the Dems about people losing care. It also fulfills Trump’s promise not to cut Medicaid. Hopefully costs will drop so much that expense for Medicaid/subsidies will drop.

“So they are saying they will rip nearly $10,000 dollars out of my hands for earning $200,000?”

Comrade ... it simple payment to glorious elite members of socialist ruling class to help poor that capitalist pig like you. *sarcasm*

You get hit if you’re married and make over $250K ... the “over” $250K is taxed an additional percentage.

If you are not married and make over $200K, any investments you make will be taxed an additional percentage.

I can see this tax “trickling down” to the $120Kish regime in no time. They just don’t get it -OR- they do get it and want to keep the water boiling so that any additional application of this disgusting tax won’t be as noticeable in the future.

Fake post...... not a tax hike

The tax is retained

There is a tax bill to take care of taxes

You are ALREADY being ripped for $10,000 on earnings of $200,000 in Obamacare. So no difference.

But you will for sure save $$$ on health insurance & health care.

What does investment income have to do with healthcare?

I trust President Trump will not sign this.

You are obviously more astute than most others on this thread. Fake News says it all.

Obamacare has more to do with tax increases than improving healthcare.

The GOPe has been doing NOTHING except promise since 2010 to repeal Obamacare. Turns out it was all a lie. They’re even keeping the Obamacare taxes. Why should anybody trust these clowns on anything?

“Repeal, and don’t replace it with any government period.”

This is the best idea out there.

We can't do anything until we win the Senate.

We can't do anything until we win the House.

We can't do anything until we win the White House.

We can't do anything until we win 60 seats in the Senate.

Let's just shorten it...

We can't do anything.

They’re like the dog that caught the car. Now they don’t know what to do with it. That Obamacare was a real tar baby, eh? Funnier than a buncha monkeys on a football.

Just let it die a normal death. It is in its death throes now so why the hell revitalize it.

These friggin’ Replicant morons were given a majority by “we the people” to repeal the goddam thing! We need to give the majority back to the dems. At least the stabbing won’t be in the back!

That was sarcasm.

Learn to recognize sarcasm when you see it.

Ha.

But they are doing what they want. Healthcare industry wrote the bill. Rates went up. It was a tax via 3rd party health insurers with them getting a cut.

The Uniparty includes half or more Republicans. They’ll keep this. They are the fake opposition.
