Exclusive–Rep. Dave Brat: RyanCare a Perverse Economic System

Virginia Republican congressman Dave Brat told Breitbart News Saturday radio host Matt Boyle that the American Health Care Act bill written by Speaker Paul Ryan (R.-Wis.) is designed to save the insurance companies, not return health insurance and health care delivery to the free market.

Brat said the speaker is worried about the insurance companies, who backed the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, because the system they created cannot be sustained because of its perverse incentives, regulations, and costs.

In addition to the flaws in the Obamacare legislation and buildout, the congressman said it is foolish to attempt a political solution to an economic problem that forces you to accommodate the needs and values of 300 million Americans — such as people in both California and Texas — at the same time.

The RyanCare bill is not connected to the promises President Donald Trump made on the campaign trail, said the former head of the economic department at Randolph-Macon College.

This looks like a RINO trap. President Trump should back away from Ryancare.

Don’t let Lyin’ Ryan get away with this. This bastard needs to be Cantorized. Flood his phone lines and tell him.
Lyin’ Ryans Wisconsin offices phone numbers:
Jansville Office (608) 752-4050
Kenosha office (262) 654-1901
Racine Office (262) 637-0510
Never stop calling this Rino bastard par excellence.

It is exactly correct that the Ryan bill addresses the situation of the large health insurance companies, and that is most likely its principal purpose.

I'm not being overly critical of Ryan and the GOP Congress because I know the limitations of the whole political process, but one thing about this whole mess really has me baffled:

Leaving aside the whole question about whether the Federal government has any role in health care in the first place ... Why does it seem that the House and the Trump team are so adamant about passing a "fix"' for ObamaCare that includes all of the original flaws that drove up insurance premiums since 2009 in the first place?

[Just mythoughts]

Do not forget the billions we fund in ‘faith based charities’ for all those illegals and Lyin Ryan and Obama’s Muslim refugees...

Look at how many ‘hospitals’ get a tap into the Federal Treasury, that will milk US to death.

The Ryan plan isn't going to pass even with revisions. If the president has to get his nose bloodied a little bit over this then it will be a lesson learned. I'm not impressed with all these conservatives who now have a backbone after eight years of cowering to Obama. I disagree with President Trump on his current healthcare stand and hope's he defeated on the Ryan plan, but this mess wasn't his doing. The same people who are opposing the president​ on this sure didn't do this much fighting back against Obama.

If the Publicans don’t come together on this before May, the Trump agenda is dead and we lose seats in 2018, fair or not, but a fact. Plus, Guess what? We are not going back to 1964.

We did not march on Washington to rearrange Obamacare.

If you are referring to Medicare as the root of the problem, you get 5 FR discussion points, and you currently top the leaderboard.

What trap?

Trump know what’s in it.

How would he be TRAPPED into signing it into law?

He either does the right thing or he doesn’t.

We’ll see.

But it’s nothing at all like a trap.

At all.

Actually, the problem is not Ryan, but the Senate RINOs. Ryan's plan might, or might not pass in the Senate but anything tougher will never pass, given McCain et al, and the New England ladies and the lady from Alaska.

They have been very successful in the globalistic socialism move. Acceptance of things as they are now is multi generational, complete chaos and failure of existing systems, only wake-up to direction , of course gatekeepers will never allow because its personal, So we shine the light where we can, turn the clock back when we can, and by all means win where theres opportunity. Thats now.

Phase III, which is supposed to be the real repeal happens in 2020, just in time for re-election.
