If it will harm Trump if it passes then why is Trump working overtime to pass it? Seems to me Trump will carry this one over the line and no one here is lining up to stop him.
Trump wants this and he is going to get it so if it is to be stopped then all fire must be aimed at Trump.
Blind spot.
I have no intention of fighting Trump regarding his weak spot that lyin’ Ryan is exploiting. However, I’m praying that there is a sufficient number of constitutional-minded conservatives in the house and senate to block this ill-advised foray into “New Deal” style entitlements by the GOPe. If it passes into law, it will “legitimize” control over health care by the federal government, something freedom-loving conservative Republicans have usually resisted because it’s clearly unconstitutional and it’s big government socialism. Health care is clearly reserved to the states and the people by the constitution.
Once federal control of healthcare is the norm by both parties, it won’t be long until sometime in the near future that the democrats retake the majorities and the presidency and they’ll move directly to single payer nationalized healthcare. And it will be the GOP that made it possible.
Kill it now and salt the earth so it can never rise again.
If Trump wants to “help all the people” he should work with the congress to repeal Obamacare and also remove any other federal regulations or roadblocks to competitive free market solutions at the state level. And encourage the states to setup programs for the disabled and destitute where needed. If the feds want to make healthcare premiums deductible (not a credit) for individuals and small businesses on their federal tax returns (like corporations get), that would probably be constitutional under the 16th amendment (for now) as would be individual health savings accounts.
But otherwise, healthcare is reserved to the states.
