With the Senate already having launched the process of repealing Obamacare when, as reported yesterday, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Mike Enzi released a 2017 budget resolution setting up the process to partially repeal Obamacare early in Donald Trump’s administration, on Wednesday vice president-elect Mike Pence met with Republican congressional leaders to plot the strategy of how to repeal Obama's signature healthcare law.
Speaking to House republicans, Pence said Trump plans to take executive actions to start unwinding ObamaCare on day one: "Our first order of business will be to repeal and replace ObamaCare," Pence told reporters, adding the process would begin "day one."
"The speaker of the house used the word ‘stable,’ and we will do that," Pence said at a news conference after a private meeting Wednesday with House Republicans. There’s a "broad range of idea on how to do this," he said, without giving details of what a replacement might look like.
The VP-elect added that “it will be an orderly transition to something better...using executive authority to ensure it’s an orderly transition. We’re working now on a series of executive orders that will enable that orderly transition to take place even as Congress appropriately debates alternatives to and replacements for ObamaCare.”

Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Tuesday that Trump considers Inauguration Day as "Day One" of his presidency: "He is prepared and ready to go. As he's said before, he wants to enact real change on day one. That will mean within hours of being sworn in," Spicer said. "He put his team on notice that he expects nothing less than everyone getting right to work for the American people."

Again, you clearly have no clue what you are talking about. So, we’ll leave it at this: when you get what you want, and are forced into the single payer system, remember this conversation.
You have provided no reason to support your position. Your reason is “we can’t”. YOU have no clue what you’re talking about, just hand wringing.
If ya had the sense that God gave a mule, you'd see PLENTY of me explaining why. In fact, I've likely explained it 6 or 7 times on this and varying threads. So, piss off, have a nice day, whatever it is that asinine trolls such as yourself do.
Have a nasty day.
I propose a third option...cancel the exceptions already given, then exempt all other US Citizens except those previously excepted from ObamaCare. Word it in such a way that the incoming Executive Branch is excepted, but not the Legislative Branch nor the Judicial Branch (Remember, Chief Justice John Roberts had a chance to kill ObamaCare and did not do it!)
That's a pretty poor thing to wish for.
What we had before was a lousy, expensive, non-responsive, health insurance system.
Just to name the easy one of dozens of reasons it was so bad was the fact that each state got to build a wall around it's borders that no one could cross.
I have very high expectations for our new system, and I think I'll come away fairly satisfied.
We have a genius leading the charge.
And since the government got involved we have a lousy, even more expensive, even less responsive healthcare system. The lousy, pre-Obamacare system is looking better and better every day.
Just to name the easy one of dozens of reasons it was so bad was the fact that each state got to build a wall around it's borders that no one could cross.
Yeah, damn that old 10th Amendment anyway.
I have very high expectations for our new system, and I think I'll come away fairly satisfied.
Without even the slightest idea of what the new system will look like. Your faith is overwhelming.
And expensive vacations on the taxpayer’s dime.
It took you years and years to finally realize that, did it?
Most of us Freepers had the wisdom to see it even before it was implemented.
The rest of your post illustrates a similar perspective derived from ignorance.
You will have the last (and uninformed) word.
I hope he has that guy who wrote obamacare arrested who is on tape admitting he lied about Obamacare because he knew the stupid American people wouldn’t go for it.
“Trump is going to need a printing press for his “Obama Clean-Up” orders.”
I agree with the sentiment but your technology is outdated, a printing press prints thousands of the same thing, what is needed is thousands of DIFFERENT orders posted on the internet and reported nationwide if there are any news sources which will actually report the truth. If we printed up a large batch of these orders there would be no trees left.
“...what is needed is thousands of DIFFERENT orders...”
Oh Yes, I think a book could be assembled detailing all the different stiffs that Obama did with his “Executive Order Madness” and showing what he was REALLY trying to do with them. His hatred for this country and its people is a historical record and that IS HIS LEGACY.
