Thursday on the radio, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin gave the rundown on the press conference of Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc. (F, 51%), in which Ryan tried to give the hard sell to Americans on the Republican American Health Care Act "reform" plan.
Levin called Ryan’s proposal “repeal in name only." Or, if you will, “RINOcare,” because the GOP plan keeps the core of Obamacare in place.
Levin had a “number of questions” for the speaker, questions that so far remain unanswered.
“Now, here’s my question Mr. Ryan,” Levin said. “How much will the average American’s deduction go up, or down?”
Further, Levin asked, how much will the federal government be spending on subsidies for certain individuals? Will individuals be able to see the doctors they want? The specialists they need? Will individuals be able to go to the hospital of their choice? Will they be able to get the medicines they need to get?
At the end of the day, the problem with RINOcare, Levin explained, is it embraces the Left’s assumption that government involvement is needed to make health insurance affordable. It embraces progressivism; it embraces centralization.
“Republicans have blown it,” Levin said. "There is something horribly immoral about RINOcare."
That says it all right there. Levin clearly has bad judgement. The hyper corrupt biz as usual crowd, or Trump? And Levin was reluctant? That screams fraud or dupe in my world.

“I never said ANYTHING about any bill. “
The topic is the bill.
You are acting as a classic disruptor.
No one cares about your snowflake emotions.
You guys scare me to death. Levin said he would, reluctantly, endorse Trump a few months before Nov. Your blind hero worship is as despicable and TERRIFYING as the left’s for Obama.
The only hero worship here is you revisionist Levin boot lickers. Levin is the only major personality that often smears not only Trump but his supporters too. That is just uncalled for and petty. It’s clear he has some personal animosity with Trump do to the campaign season that he has never let go of. Sadly, it seems Levin’s pom pom fan club is afflicted with this same disease.
What Levin “endorsed” was keeping control of the Supreme Court away from Hillary Clinton.

Only after months of post convention bashing of the only person who could stop her on his show. Levin is a sunshine conservative who was AWOL during the battle to defeat Hillary Criminal & her SCOTUS.
Levin hated the idea of Trump.
Like it or not, Trump has said from the beginning that he would take care of poor people.
We liked the wall, control immigration, defeat isis, jobs, repesl replace.
But he keeps his promises and he always said he wouldn’t let the poor die in the streets.
Only way to cover the poor is to pay for their insurance or to pay for a governmennt network of hospitals/clinics.
The VA suggests that is a bad idea in a dishonest world.
The GOP bill is a turd. Full repeal is needed. No games. No gimmicks.
SO....
Here we are. Again.
The Dems created the obamacare monster, rammed it down our throats... and now the GOP will own it.
Way to go, idiots. Just f***ing stellar. Ann Coulter was right - there IS a reason the GOP is called “The Stupid Party”.
Because they are either incredibly incompetent - or criminally complicit with their democommie stablemates.
We seriously need a third party. A REAL party, composed of America First patriots.
I listened to Paul Ryan and Rand Paul on this. Rand doesn’t explain anything. He says it’s Obamacare lite. Can someone please explain how, without using trigger words like catilac tax. For example, apparently a complaint is the tax credit...Why is this problematic? Keeping tax money out of the government’s hands sounds pretty good to me. The one thing I didn’t like from what I’ve heard Ryan promoting is the subsidy for a percentage of people. I don’t support subsidising healthcare. Please define the actual complaints
Never Trumpers on this site only crawl out from under the rocks to criticize Trump. They never praise the great things Trump has done.
In Levin’s case, I suspect Trump will do the right thing in the end, and of course Mark Levin will be first in line take credit for it. Rinse and repeat.
“He’s a straight shooter”
I hope you don’t mean that literally. Did he ever catch Sundance? Does the bounty he put on Sundance’s head ever get claimed?
Does = Did
Who is TBP?
In fact, he ripped him everyday under the lesser of two evils mantra. He was someone who continuously got in the way and acted like Romney.. Almost identical.
He was still bashing Trump in the general election. I heard him bashing Trump.
They directed it at Trump, yapping "He's no conservative" repeatedly. Begs the question, where in hell were all these con-conservatives the past 25+ years, prior to Trump?
They were no where to be seen, as the country marched towards a politically correct, open borders leftist nightmare state.
Criticizing and “bashing” are two different things.
I don’t agree with all of President Trump’s views. I suspect you don’t either. I know Mark levin doesn’t. He still supported and voted for President Trump.
There are a number of conservative third parties — America’s Party, the Constitution Party, the AIP, the Independent American Party, and numerous others. Each is small and each operates separately from the others.
We need to find a way to unify them and expand their ranks.
The votes to pass this probably aren’t there. We can do so much better.
