JUST REPEAL! The government can only screw things up. Stop the abuses, the frivolous lawsuits, drug company advertising which will also lower drug prices and THAT’S IT! We wouldn’t even have this mess if it wasn’t for Justice Roberts. Why is having government control a MINDSET now?
One last time. I'll type S L O W L Y for you:
The GOP know that no Dem will vote for this, so they have to do it in a way that does not allow the Dems to filibuster, or to stop the measure with less than 60 votes.
By doing the initial phase as "Reconciliation," the Dems are prevented from filibustering (Senate Reconciliation Rules forbid it), and the measure needs only 51 votes to pass.
Another thing, however, forbidden under the Reconciliation Rules is "Repealing" any Law. This is why the first phase only "amends it" to remove the Individual Mandate, the Penalty Structure, and the funding for the non-Medicare/Medicaid portions.
In brief, to ensure that they can deliver this en toto, the GOP wisely did this under Reconciliation. That requires it be done in three concurrent phases.
Grow the eff up. Learn to be patient (a whole week or two!). Learn to trust your president. He has earned that much.
