For the rest of us, the most important issue is the mandate.
Remove the subsidies and the Medicaid expansion and it withers and dies even quicker.
Yes, and it is also universal and mandatory redistribution of wealth.
Yes.
The false initial assumption is that the government should in any way take care of our personal, individual health needs.
Accepting that premise means relinquishing fundamental liberty.
Yeh I said the same thing to Mr. GG2 last night. I wish I could beotch slap the smarmy smirk off Ryno’s face.
But you have to somehow pay for the free stuff and the free stuff is covered by mandate money that is paid by the healthy people who are forced to pay the full price as “mandated” by the ACA law.
Get rid of the mandate and there is no money and the Socialist monster collapses.
Even better: by only eliminating the mandate, technically you are not getting rid of the subsidies so you can't be blamed for being a meanie. Just that there won't be any money left for the subsidies — kills two birds with one....
Medicaid is another issue and independent (as it should have been all along) — they didn't need to nuke the healthcare system with the ACA to move people onto Medicaid who qualified for it in the first place.
Mortadella! :)
I Agree with him, there is NO WAY the Republicans will repeal Obamacare, but there is a way:
I will say it again, OBAMACARE WILL NEVER BE REPEALED in any way, shape or fashion.
There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:
Executive Order
1. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.
2. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.
And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.
Sign these 2 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.
NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???
I would also consider another Executive Order Withholding All Transportation Funds from All States that do Not have Their Public Employees enrolled in Obamacare, just to Prove a Point.
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
I AM TAKING BETS that the Rino Party Will NEVER REPEAL OBAMACARE!
No, that is actually true.
Really. Interesting. When did this happen?
Do tell... Thanks.
They are now saying that Kerner’s brother has a new app for ACA and that is why it will never be revoked. Doubt the truth in that.
I honestly think Obama care will not be repealed. The hardest part of getting this bill into effect was getting enough conservatives to sign on. The libs did it by publicly using the media to embarrass anyone who would not vote for the bill to get the health care to so many “worthy,” yet, broke “citizens.” To say no, was the kiss of death. And now that they have fed this gift to the poor that couldn’t afford it by paying for it with stolen funds, they made it literally an entitlement that will lock into existence until the dollar bottoms out or runs out.
I see the conservatives “tweaking it” a whole lot, try to call it a new and improved plan, but still allowing it to become welfare. Otherwise, the libs will fry them individually through the press. The conservatives stepped in it, now they have to paint the rest of their shoes brown because the stain can’t be washed out.
