The Post’s Mike DeBonis has obtained leaked audio of Republicans at a closed-door session airing serious anxieties about the GOP’s strategy to repeal and replace Obamacare. What’s remarkable is how decisively their specific comments in private undercut the party’s public, carefully-crafted talking points about the battle to come. Now, to be clear, these private comments [] Related: Trump’s secret plan to make Mexico pay for a border wall, revealed Steve Bannon just attacked the media. The correct response: Keep pointing out the lies. Happy Hour Roundup ...
The GOP - our biggest problem.
BTW, the replacement for Obamacare is THE FREE MARKET ECONOMY which gave us the best healthcare in the world and was screwed up by the feds meddling beginning around the 70's.
Besides that the feds have NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to meddle in healthcare much less individual's healthcare insurance. This is a scam and tyranny from day one.
Not exactly.
The uniparty in the gop, thats the biggest problem.
Which is why we are in process of purging these sh1tbags out.
Spineless cowards who care only about power, money, and being reelected. Pussies.
>> the replacement for Obamacare is THE FREE MARKET ECONOMY.
I heartily agree.
The more the federal government interferes in things, the worse they become.
The usual spineless politicos. They can’t make a decision. No confidence in their ability nor take any responsibility. Scared of the press and the Dems. Pansies.
Make Rubio, McCain, Graham, McConnell, Flake and Graham step up to the podium and swear they were not the leakers.
This was posted earlier from the Washington Post. Described as a “closed door” meeting. The names listed don’t ring a bell aside from McClintock, and the discussion sounds more like low level fretting.
Pennsylvania requires the recorded partys’ permission before recording.
Since this wasn’t done, whoever from DU that did this is in legal hot water...
It was likely intentional
leaked audio of a closed door meeting? perhaps or maybe they just made it up. who knows?
Yep. Somebody’s going to jail for illegal wiretap.
A week or two ago, Kellyanne mentioned that there’s a leak or a mole somewhere at the top.
I’m going with Reince. He and Paul Ryan have been best friends since boyhood and I don’t trust either one of ‘em.
I wonder if the person who leaked this is involved in some of the so-called behind the scenes leaks at the White House. This mole went after the entire GOP, so it’s either one of our fabulous RINOs or a Democrat has infiltrated (not that there is much difference between the two).
The Rs can’t seem to maintain operational security any better than the groups James O’Keefe infiltrates.
Regardless of whether this is true, you are correct.
Trump should say and tweet that 0-care is done. He should say that no one will be forced to buy insurance because the GOP has already promised to repeal 0-care. He can then quote the weasel GOP politician election promises. Then Trump will say that he won’t have the IRS enforcing the penalty on anyone thus year or for last year because it’s over.
Trump should also give waivers to any state that wants to come up with plans that offer more consumer choice. Coverage mandates will be gone and prices will go way down. States can also restart high risk pools as before.
The only people that will want to buy the 0-care at the marketplaces will be the people with very high yearly medical expenses. Trump can say, it’s a bad deal for those that are young and healthy. The implosion will take less than two months because all the insurance companies will pull out of 0-care.
Trump will have forced congress hand and repeal will be a fait accompli.
Sic James on the leakers.
Yup.
