Problem FOUR: Mike Lee knows this as well as anyone, he was one who said in the beginning of Bami Care that this was a 'TAX BILL' not a Health Care Bill...stupid liar!!!As stated by MIchaelTArchangel on another thread:
This Congress needs three health care financing bills.
Bill 1 would repeal ObamaCare in its entirety.
Bill 2 would state that the Congress has no Constitutional authority to be in the health care business.
Bill 3 would state that Congress does have the Constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce and will allow insurance companies to engage in interstate commerce.
We didn't vote for Obamacare light. Call your congress critters and tell them what you're thinking. There's now a push to get this done by July 4.
Start over by just repealing Obamacare. Step one.

The goal of the communists: Socialized medicine and gun control. The BRCA is Obamacare Light, designed to fail to they can eventually 'give up' and pass single payer.
We say no!
RINO’s are committed to polishing the Obamacare turd which is what the democrats are demanding.
Problem FOUR: Mike Lee knows this as well as anyone, he was one who said in the beginning of Bami Care that this was a 'TAX BILL' not a Health Care Bill...stupid liar!!!I seem to remember being promised that ObamaCare would be repealed. That bill is already written and has been seen in both houses. Any replacement will take time and only validate the Democrat’s requirement for Gov’t involvement in all things for all people. . Vote the repeal now.

I agree with MichaelTArchangel! Do it!
Step one: Vote to repeal Obamacare effective January 1st.
Step two: Start over. And rewrite a plan that’s good for the citizens and doctors...but not the so good for Big Pharm, Big govt or the ambulance chasing lawyers.
Mike Lee should pen a plan if he doesn’t like that one. I’m sick of absolutist critics who never offer solutions.
The Republican party is trash.
I don’t know what it will take for people to accept the truth. Mississippi wasn’t enough? This bill isn’t enough?
They’re T-R-A-S-H.
Will someone please tell this octogenarian exactly why they cannot just repeal the AFA in its entirety? It seems to me that everything would then return to what it was before Obama. Then they could make the necessary (if any) tweaks.
140%? AHHAHAHAHAH. Let’s start with the first day raise - my insurance went from $275 per month to $420 per month, my wife’s went from $172 per month to $370 per month. Our deductible went from $2,000 per policy to $5,000 per policy (or $10,000 per family) + the lovely donut hole liability of another $2,700. Meaning if we had any significant need for the insurance, such as being in an accident, for more than double than what we were paying, we have an additional $8,700 in liability.
Yet supposedly during the course of Obamacare rates only went up 140%?
(By the way, same policy, today, is $680 per month for myself, and $540 per month for my wife with $12,700 in deductibles.) That’s a 300% raise in costs, which isn’t even a fair comparison due to the massively higher deductible cost. Contemplate spending more per month in health insurance cost than you pay per month for your home - senator, I’m glad you got your eyes on the prize and you’re focused on repealing the monstrosity, but stop underselling how massive a cost increase occurred.
Thank you, Art, for posting this. Mike Lee is 100% correct and I applaud him for being among the handful of Republican senators who oppose the ObummerCare Lite bill that, if enacted, will forever be called TrumpCare. I would not want my name attached to this turkey of a bill.
Stay strong, Lee, Cruz, Paul, and Johnson. Repeal, enable across state lines sales of insurance, and then leave it to the states.
Looks like someone wasn’t prepared to be in a position to actually be able to do anything.
Whoops.
I have no use for the blaze or mike lee.
Yeah, that's probably all we can get.
This wouldn’t pass with fifty votes in the senate. Face it, Obamacare is here to stay.
Ping!
