It can't be worse. No way.

Well, it's a mess.
However, this bill would make the situation even worse than Obamacare. Although Obamacare didn’t require photo ID and fingerprints to verify identity, it did harness the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database. Thus, officials were at least able to check immigration status against Social Security numbers.

The problem with this bill is that because it tweaks Obamacare and creates a new massive entitlement system through the budget reconciliation process, it cannot have the statutory effect of mandating HHS and IRS work with Citizenship and Immigration Services to use the SAVE database because that issue is outside the jurisdiction of the reporting committees. And no subject matter from other committees can be included in reconciliation.

Thus, to pass Obamacare 2.0 instead of plain repeal via budget reconciliation, Republicans must use weaker verification language.

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.

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

If the government is involved it can get worse. We have to kill the mindset that government can fix things. THEY CAN’T. No effin brains!
