Ryan and McConnell agree: No long delay in passing an ObamaCare replacement

Lickety-split.

I don’t know if the repeal-and-delay talk was just a trial balloon, or if it was never really under serious consideration. But there was never much enthusiasm - from the conservative base or from anyone else - for the idea of repealing ObamaCare quickly but then taking an extended period of time to come up with a replacement. And apparently both Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have gotten the message.

Don’t forget Trump’s two stipulations:

1. People cannot be refused insurance for pre-existing conditions.

2. Children can stay on their parents’ insurance to age 26.

NOW reform Obamacare with those two stipulations. (I’ll save you some time. It cannot be done.)

So where is Ryan and McConnels plan?

They have had 6 years to develop another plan.
Please provide a link to Ryan’s plan.

If it were up to me, the replacement would be changing tax laws, tort reform, free markets.

Amen.

Any talk of "replacement" by those in the government pre-supposes that the government needs to have their hands in it.

"Repeal and Replace" needs to be "Repeal and Back Off".

3. End.

Wrong. 3. Single payer

It stuns me how many people don't understand how the private insurance industry works, and thus think that somehow it will just simply "go back to the way it was before". That is a recipe for disaster. It's going to take at least a year, if not two, to roll back the damage that zerocare has done, unless of course, you want the carriers to go bankrupt within six months and the only answer being single payer.

Sorry. I don’t think anything about tort reform will get done at the Federal level. The GOP has many state governorships and state legislatures, and if nothing is moving at the state level, I’m not going to pin hopes on anything happening on the Federal level.

I will be severely happy to admit I’m wrong on this. I’d like to see doctors not pay out the nose in malpractice insurance.

You’re not allowed to comment here if you actually have any understanding of how the health insurance market works. That interferes with your ideological purity too much.

Replacement. They have to keep their corruption gravy train going. Obamacare, at least with that nickname, is politically impossible now so they have to at least give it a new name or swap it for some government managed system that requires even more bureaucrats and that morphs seamlessly into Single Payer. The Republicans will not be satisfied with anything less. Trump does not have Congress on his side. Trump is alone. He will either be an effective dictator or he will accomplish little.

Yup. Free market is the replacement. The govt should allow tax deductions for medical expenses including drugs, as well as tax deductions for medical savings accounts. Aside from that, no govt. interference.

Medical expenses are already deductible over a certain amount. And contributions to medical savings accounts and health savings accounts are deductible as well.

The limits are astronomical.
