An effective repeal, by any other name, is still a repeal.

ALL government involvement in the healthcare of private citizens is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

REPEAL and let the private sector take over. Charities for the less fortunate.

You know, the way it USED to be. Constitutional and free from government interference.

I smell fake news, the GOP is going to repeal and replace.

Obamacare can't be fixed.

Much more lobbyist money to be made “repairing” Obamacare than repealing it. These pols are little more than prostitutes.

Yes. Ever since President Trump started, he would repeat over and over: “Repeal and Replace”. I would cringe at the “Replace” part.

I just don’t see why government has to be involved in our private healthcare. It’s none of their business.

Example: I just had a doctor tell me she was no longer going to be my doctor. Why? Because the Federal gov’t “dings” the doctors who don’t force their patients to undergo certain “preventative” tests and procedures.

My primary care doc told me they penalize them monetarily. They post “Shaming” lists, listing doctor names and their “compliance” statistics.

I don’t want those tests and procedures and I don’t want government forcing me to have them.

Whenever Gov’t gets involved, it will eventually use its power to force its way upon its citizens. No good.

BREAKING:

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc) has announced that in light of the desire by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to have all healthcare benefits removed from the expense line of businesses and shifted onto the United States government, Obamacare will be “repaired” so that all Americans will be provided health insurance by the US government.

Ryan referred to this in the manner of filling the hole in the middle of a donut, and said that in order to reduce the US government budget, all Americans will be required to contribute to the cost of this insurance by paying a premium of $50,000 a year with an annual deductible of $30,000 and a $3 to $1 copay for all healthcare expenses.

Mend it, don’t end it was Hillary Clinton’s campaign rhetoric. Looks like the Congressional Republicans have decided to adopt it.

We are stuck with socialized medicine and BAD medical care. Republicans do not want to jeopardize their corruption inflows and even Trump wants to "replace it." You either get rid of it in toto and let the market deal with it or you jigger it around for more "fairness" to this group and that but it remains a monster and everyone had better learn how to use offshore medicine for their serious work and herbs and home remedies and shamans for their day to day stuff. I have heard nothing from anybody up their pushing getting the government hyena off the medical system.Repeal and ReplaceĂ That's the best they can do. Why bother with all the folderol? It will still be government medicine. It will still be going broke and costing everyone more.
