Sarah Palin, the first major GOP figure to endorse President Donald Trump, is calling out House Speaker Paul Ryan for what she says is “RINO-Care'...in her first interview on the topic, coming on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel this weekend...
“I do want to speak about this, but I am tempted to say not another word from our fearless leaders about this new form of Obamacare that I’m going to call RINO-care—not another word from them until we are definitively told that there is no provision whatsoever allowing Congress to exempt itself whatsoever with this law,” Palin said. “As with anything else mandated by Congress, every single dotted I and crossed T better apply to them, too, and not just the people who they are lording this thing over because remember this is government-controlled health care, the system that requires enrollment in an unaffordable, unsustainable, unwanted, unconstitutional continuation of government-run medicine, and even in this new quasi-reformed proposal, there is still an aspect of socialism. That’s the whole premise here.”
Palin expressed serious concern with the fact that Ryan’s healthcare bill does not eliminate Obamacare’s individual mandate. It just shifts the mandate—which requires all Americans to purchase a health insurance plan even if they do not want one. Under Obamacare, those who do not comply, pay a tax to the federal government. Under Ryan’s plan, those who not comply, pay a fee to the insurance companies.

Somewhere along the line, this newsworthy post was moved from News/Activism to the more invisible General/Chat forum, akin to the Religion Forum. Not the first time for a FR post regarding Sarah Palin and the news she makes. Just noticing.
Yes, Repeal RyNO-Care and Replace Paul Ryan!
Along with loosening the requirements so that illegal aliens can participate and we have the makings of another billion dollar boondoogle for illegal aliens to rip us off with. We’re already sending them billions worth of checks from the IRS.
WHAT?
REpeal entirely. Let the free market work.
Get Ryan to create something that's similar to Obamacare and hope that Dems won't support it. They're not, so now they can introduce a real healthcare reform package that will get Dems up for re-election and conservatives on board and get it passed.
Ah, the interdimensional chess argument!
I stand with Rand, Sarah and the other Conservatives who realize that giving TAX dollars to people who don’t pay taxes is nothing but another new entitlement that reminds me of that horrid alternative tax that used to snag me for $ thousands when I owned small businesses.
It’s wrong, immoral and must be dropped from The American Healthcare Act.
Thank you!
I think most, if not all of us hate Ryan-the-RINOcare.
That tax refund to people who don’t pay taxes is the killer for me.
NO new entitlements.
Cut the crap.
Stop the sh!t.
My question too.
Didn’t roberts declare obammycare was constitutional because it was a tax, so it did not violate interstate commerce clause by forcing citizens to buy a product.
If the penalty/tax is redirected from IRS to private ins cos doesn’t that put you back in violation of commerce clause????
This entire issue needs to be out of the hands of the federal govt.That’s the only way to fix it.>>> i agree any abortion bll congress comes up with will be trumpcare and death in 2018 and beyond.
Thanks!
Great point term limits are needed more now than ever.
Excellent post and that’s exactly what needs to happen.How many McCains and Grahams are we going to watch get re-elected before we start yelling and screaming to make their primaries a national event and get everyone in on the action to get rid of the scourage of rinoism.
I stand with you onyx you are right,again.
In that case I would say make it a normal credit or make it a write off type of deduction (like a business expense). I agree that a refundable tax credit is a terrible idea. Conservatives can articulate that instead of telling and being incoherent. The same is true for other issues. All I’m hearing is Obamacare 2.0 and no one is articulating any legitimate complaints
Interstate competition is being opposed by the Democrats and they will filibuster to stop it. However, the Republicans can use the nuclear option and ram it through. It will have its consequences when the Republicans try to stop something the Democrats want and the filibuster option is no longer an option.
Makes no sense at all.
Ms. Palin blames Paul Ryan for this, but it is actually President Trump’s plan, and it is consistent with his longstanding promise of a universal healthcare program. If she wanted a conservative alternative, she could have endorsed a conservative in the primaries instead of Mr. Trump.
“Tax deductions” mean tax payers keep their dollars.
“Tax credits” are free money that can leave you in a surplus situation in which the tax payers pay you.
I'm not certain, but I think Palin waited until it seemed like Trump had a pretty good lead over the others (Cruz) before she chimed in. I seem to recall thinking that “Well - I guess she figures backing a winner is better than backing a more conservative person that loses.”
I get that, and now she is trying to get Trump and everyone else to follow a more conservative path. I hope she is also making those one-on-one phone calls with Trump as well.
And I'm with Reagan on the 90% thing - Trump is on our side. And while some of those 10% of issues I'm willing to agree to disagree - a crappy healthcare plan isn't one of them.
One - I'm sick and tired of spending so much money on crap insurance. Two, and perhaps more important at the moment, I don't want Republicans to own this crappy plan.
“Well you know Wolf, the Republicans never gave obamacare a chance. It was well on the way to being a great plan. But now with the changes they made - well - just look at it. What a disaster the Republicans created....”
