Why TrumpCare is even worse politics and policy than Obamacare
Conservative Review ^ | March 08, 2017 | By: Daniel Horowitz

Posted on 03/08/2017 7:04:25 PM PST by TBP

How quickly Republicans have accepted every premise of government run health care. In this episode of the "Conservative Conscience," Daniel goes through the entire timeline of the GOP RINOCare bill as well as each element – the regulations, subsidies, spending, and mandates – to demonstrate how the political and policy outcome of this bill will be worse than Obamacare.

This is not just Obamacare-lite. It never repeals Obamacare to begin with and the few things it tweaks will exacerbate the existing system. This bill only helps Big Pharma because it guarantees a steady flow of subsidies driven by endless crisis points of fiscal insolvency.

If Trump signs this then he is not nearly as smart as we thought. This is a disaster, Mr. President.

Obamacare 2.0 is a gift to illegals. Oh, and GOP? You LIE.

RINO-Care: A more insolvent version of Obamacare … except this time GOP owns it

List of 24 Regulations from CRS – almost none of them are repealed

We want Obamacare gone. We want the Feds out of medical care. It’s a disaster and only get worse with their continued interference in the market.

It’s over for Trump, if he signs this. Not why the American people put him into office.

It’s probably just me, but I don’t believe they can build a national healthcare that will give everybody what they want. Anything they come up with is going to be flawed.

Everything they come up with be flawed. But it will be less flawed than now.

If it was me...

-Drop the tax penalty. End it now.
-Anyone getting subsidized plan now keeps it.
-Get the private plans back and do the welfare thing.

That would be a starting point. From there you declare victory and then start to tweak it for the obvious budget problems it creates.

The Republicans have been trying (or at least appeared to be trying) to repeal Obamacare since 2010. Hell, there was even a government shutdown over it. The Democrats have been parroting their usual sound bytes about tax cuts for the rich, throwing poor people off health insurance, and playing up every sob story.

And look what happened. The Republicans now control all branches of government on the federal level and have won big at the local level.

So anyone with half a brain should realize that just straight up repealing Obamacare will not only not hurt politically but help big time.

Yet a bunch of fake paid protesters at a few town halls and some fake polls and despite all the victories now the Republicans are scared.

Un*(&!@#!@ Believable

Anyone calling this Trumpcare is a Democrat. This is Ryancare.

Yes, conservatives who stand on principles of constitutionally limited government and free markets.

If he signs it, he owns it.

Mark Levin calls it RINOcare — Repeal In Name Only.

But not all flaws are equal.

This bill is horrendous.
