"The new Ryan Romney Administration will feature
Mr. Trump, but RomneyCARE will remain as the people want."
They better not. Trump said first 100 days, and that is what we should demand.
Give it a one year sunset. Those on an Obamacare plan by January 20, 2017, get to keep their plan, with the approved subsidies. Those not on a plan don’t get fined but don’t get to sign up late. Starting January 1, 2018, Obamacare is dead. By Election Day, 2018, Obamacare’s death will be old news even among its few beneficiaries.
They’ve had more than enough time already, and will no longer be able to hide behind obama and pelosi...
Three year sunset?!?!...so just in time for Dems to campaign on an immediate ObamaCare sunrise - on the way to single payer?
Republicans are not worth spit.
How many unions and companies still have waivers for implementing commie care?
This is staring to sound like our British cousins talking about Brexit. The majority want a
‘Hard’ Brexit ; a severe and expeditious ending, just as most here want a Hard Break from ObamaCare.
No sir. That will not meet the promise. . 100 days!! MAX!!
Three years says to me: “Nothing takes effect before the next election”.
That’s what I think is driving a lot of the proposed delay - political calculation and fearful risk aversion.
They may be talking about the time to implement ending “Obamacare” and putting in the new program Dr. Carson and others will develop vs the time to sign the legislation to set that in motion.
How long did it take to phase in the “Affordable Care Act?” Passed and signed into law in 2010, and seems it came into full effect in 2015. We all remember the GOP sweep after the Ds unilaterally passed the Act. (THAT election didn’t seem to phase CJ Roberts). Don’t know that I’m comfortable with allowing another Congressional election before it’s killed totally, but these things DO take time.
The Affordable Care Act, aka Obama Care, is very flawed and never should have been passed.
At the same time, the Fereral government is, by far, the largest purchaser of healthcare services through Medicare and Medicaid. Those are built on incredibly complicated laws and regulations that have been evolving since the 1960’s when they were enacted. ObamaCare made many changes and was followed by complex new regulations and enacting laws and policies that have been changing in recent years after Obama’s laws were first enacted.
There is no way that current law can change and go into effect with new regulations quickly without potentially creating more chaos and problems than ObamaCare caused for voters.
Personally, I like the idea of congress quickly passing a law that sets a deadline for what will be a complicated new replacement law to be developed and go into effect. There are parts of the AFA that, believe it or not, do make the Feds better purchasers of healthcare. It would be hard to be more inept than they were in the past, such as how they (still) fail to flex their purchasing power to get better prices on drugs than they get now...
My 2 cents.
This could be a disaster if Democrats take the House or Senate back in 2 years. It needs to be dead in the next year.
End it now! If it dies on Jan 20th, new policies will be issued on Jan 21st. End it with a transition date of February 28th 2017.
Watch America and American business do magic in the marketplace.
So in order to do a good job of draining the swamp, one of Trump’s priorities should be to work with the states to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, the repeal amendment having a recall provision so that we can get rid of RINOs and Democrats.
In fact, the repeal amendment should also have a provision to prohibit political party support for federal elected officials.
The state should also amend the following excerpts to the Constitution.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
If Obamacare ended in 90 days, 3/4 of the hospitals in the country would close.
Get to it Paul and Mitch, stop ya whining...
