Trump-backing congressman says GOP will use budget 'reconciliation' to repeal Obamacare in first 100 days – depriving Democrats of the chance to filibuster it

* Rep. Chris Collins, the first Republican to endorse President-elect Trump, says the GOP will move legislation to repeal Obamacare within Trump's first 100 days

* Party would use budget procedure that would let them jam it through on a simple majority vote, depriving Senate Democrats of the filibuster

* Medical device tax, 30-hour workweek for coverage, employer mandate, employee mandate all could go, gutting the plan

* Says there would be a 'transition' for 2017

The Republican push to repeal Obamacare is going on a fast track under a procedure that would make minority Democrats powerless to stop it, the first Republican congressman to endorse President-elect Donald Trump said Friday.

Republicans who now have unified control of Congress plan to move to repeal Obamacare during the first 100 days of the incoming Trump administration, said Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY).

They would do this under a budget procedure called 'reconciliation,' which requires a simple majority vote to approve tax and spending changes.

What the Dems didn’t realize is that by passing it with budget reconciliation with no Republicans signing onto it and trying to make changes with executive orders, these laws have an air of illegitimacy that allows them to be easily rolled back.

Exactly. Paul Ryan can either lead this effort starting today, or he can resign, effective tomorrow.

"Kerry gone"

I find it interesting that John (served in Vietnam) Kerry was
was hiding out in a place as far from America as he could get
this election -- Antarctica, the South Pole. He didn't want
anything to do with the election or of campaigning for Hillary.

Obama was forced to campaign for her. Apparently Kerry didn't want his name associated with the Clintons' or the Dems election defeat.

McWeasel needs to be ready to use the nuclear option on judges as well. If he grows a set and follows nasty harrys lead in this bet the house payment Linda and her love McStain will have a melt down.

Great list.

How much will be accomplished before Trump is our president?

How much will be accomplished shortly after he is our president?

How much will be accomplished 90 days after he is our president?

I have no doubt that this is a priority for Trump. But for Congress to totally repeal it? I’ll believe it when I see it.
