The key problem with the draft House health care bill is that it fails to correct the features of Obamacare that drove up health insurance costs. Instead, it mainly tweaks Obamacare’s financing and subsidy structure.
Basically, the bill focuses on protecting those who gained subsidized coverage through the law’s exchange subsidies and Medicaid expansion, while failing to correct Obamacare’s misguided insurance regulations that drove up premiums for Americans buying coverage without government subsidies.
That is both a policy problem and a political problem.

They don’t have the votes in the Senate. Repeal requires 60 votes. There is no way 9 Democrats will vote for it.
Because they simply don’t have the votes in the Senate. If they try, it will be held up indefinitely, which is exactly what the Democrats want.
Smoke and mirrors?
Trump has ALWAYS said he wowould not let the poor die in the streets. That was in at least one debate and he got serious flak for it. He stood by it. He is still doing so.
The difference between the 2 sides is Trump wants to pay for poor via tax credits and the opposition doesn’t want to pay for the poor.
That’s it in a nutshell.
I think Trump’s right. The poor should not die from lack of healthcare, and the payment for it should be out in the open and not hidden in hospital costs.
Personally, I think care for the poor should be through our already existing public health clinic network. There are 9800 fexeral ones, not counting state and county clinics.
That should be the starting point.

” END THE INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BIG PHARMA, FDA AND CONGRESS.”
Bravo!! I agree but let’s not forget the CDC-the center for disease and corruption.
I was spending the morning searching for press coverage on the VAXXED! tour. The media is silent. You can go here or on facebook to get more information. So far they have recorded over 6,509 vaccine injury stories. http://www.vaxxed.com/home/
This morning I watched one with District Attorney Nico LaHood and his wife, Davida. They tell the story of what happened to their son. I appreciate his attitude, “show me the evidence.”
Constitutionally speaking, federal gubmint has no business in healthcare, medicare, medicaide, social security, i could go on. I am, a natural born conservative, when it comes to gubmint, less is better.
This is the Youtube channel.

This is a post Nico LaHood made after being attacked for speaking out on Vaccine Injuries and the corruption.
“ Whether or not people agree with my opinion, I urge everyone to view the documentary and form your own opinion with the information presented. I am simply advocating for four things:
1. Parents educate yourselves for the sake of your precious children. Stay away from rhetoric and look at hard facts.
2. Let doctors be doctors. They should be able to take a position for or against vaccines. It is a shame that, if they do not support vaccinations, they are ostracized, slandered, and chastised by licensing boards and certain segments of the public.
3. Do not force vaccines on our parents. Keep exemptions and parents rights alive. It should be a parents choice “if” and “when” they will vaccinate.
4. Ask your legislators to demand the same phase 1 safety studies that all pharmaceutical drugs go through. That is not happening with the vast majority of vaccines and no one is asking why. The CDC should be mandated to show us objective research that proves which position is right or wrong.
I will zealously defend our children. I will zealously defend the rights of parents to protect their children from something, they believe, may have a link to harming their children, unless it is proven otherwise. In the end, you have a right to vaccinate or not; it is your choice.
Lastly, if anyone is going to criticize me for supporting the information contained in the documentary, Vaxxed, I humbly suggest they watch it first, then advocate an opinion. I’m happy to organize a public showing and discussion with anyone willing.
As always, I wish everyone well and hope this conversation continues. God bless you.”
I agree with Nico and I know that freepers and other concerned Americans need to spread this information far and wide. The corrupt/complicit media will not.
Unfortunately all those programs are here to stay. At least until the government is no longer capable of printing money.
We can reform those programs slowly and we can make them more efficient and maybe someday privatize them or otherwise limit the central authority. But from a realistic perspective, you are not going to end them.
I don't believe that Social Security was or is constitutional. But after paying into it for over 40 years, you will only be able to take it from me now at the point of a gun.
Unfortunately a lot of people now count on this Obamacare fiasco to pay for treatment for debilitating diseases and any attempt to end the program now and leave these people in the lurch will not be tolerated.
The Federal government put their hand into this and I don't think it is realistic to think that our elected officials have the will or the balls to end it. Fix it? Yeah. End it? Not a chance.
Greed. Hospitals originally were nonprofit.
Dr. Phan who escaped from Saigon when he was 8 gives an amazing interview here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce2G38e09zk
He starts to address socialized medicine towards the end but starting around the 19 minute mark he is amazed to learn that his fellow doctors are telling their patients they won’t watch the DVD VAXXED! when given a copy. He says he would tell them, “read your Hippocratic oath.” First, do no harm.
If they didn't why did the Ryan-McConnel twits fund it 100%? And allow him to postpone the effective dates in order to pass the pain along to his replacement. Hum?
The big lie continues. It could be as simple as requiring a filibuster to be a real filibuster, not simply a threat. Then there is always the rule they used to shut up Warren.
Just to be a contrarian, there is no constitutional provision that says, “Congress shall not pass a social security law.”
That would be a states right.
Drudge headline:
MCCONNELL: TAX CUTS WILL HAVE TO WAIT...
Well well well. They have had years to work out the plan to cut taxes and get rid of obamacare.
Their plan is to increase taxes and keep obamacare.
The founders intent was clearly to limit federal government, states and individual rights always trump federal jurisdiction.
IOW, there is no such statement in the constitution. However, art I, sect 8, para 1 can be construed to suggest such legislation.
Thanks for explaining that. So this bill here they only need 51?
