They only need a repeal bill. Then it is turned over to the private market as it should be.

A failed bill would be Bannon’s best chance yet to topple Ryan and advance his nationalist-populist economic agenda.

Bannon said that he’s unhappy with the Ryan bill because it “doesn’t drive down costs” and was “written by the insurance industry.”

Huh.

[Helicondelta]

From a populist perspective, rising healthcare costs and people dying in the streets is fertile ground.

I personally have no clue about the right course on the health care bill, but I can know that Paul Ryan lost big time.

The man has no leadership instincts whatsoever which became very evident when he announced his non-support for Trump now or ever. Any verb can be substituted for that and it cannot be taken back. If a man ask a girl to marry him and she says that, it is over. If a man asks for a job and the potential employer says that, it is over.

All Ryan has is his globalist ideology and he is trying to reach out from that standpoint.

If I ever wanted to kill myself, I’d climb to the top of Ryan’s ego and jump down to his IQ.

Ryan is simply a part of the problem. The vast majority of Republicans in Washington are compromised, or they're the Chamber of Commerce's bitches.

These cretins would like nothing better than to be in the minority and getting table scraps just as long as they can go to the best restaurants, go on fancy vacations paid for by lobbyists, and be part of the in-crowd so the liberal media won't call them names.

I now believe that the Dems and establishment Republicans are going to triage Trump's presidency, meaning that they're going to hold the fort on the statist, unconstitutional policies that are eating away and destroying this nation, and preventing Trump from implementing sweeping changes that we need now.

Bannon

[Alberta's Child]

Publicly, Bannon has been working to help the bill pass. But privately he's talked it down in recent days. According to a source close to the White House, Bannon said that he's unhappy with the Ryan bill because it "doesn’t drive down costs" and was "written by the insurance industry."

Everyone on FreeRepublic who insists that President Trump was 100% behind this bill should read this carefully.

Note that Bannon's primary complaints about the bill have nothing to do with "conservative purity" or anything of that sort. He was unhappy with the Ryan bill because it did absolutely nothing to address the biggest problem with Obamacare in the minds of Trump's supporters.

[Just mythoughts]

Who knows if the double minded Lying Ryan, is capable of seeing the lifetime errors of his ways. He presently sits third in line for the office of president and has an ego bigger than a full moon. He pulled a Nancy Pewlouise and got hammered.
