I blame mac/ryan.
The point? Hillaryous Rotten Criminal IS NOT in office (although she should be in prison along with current and former gang members of the Gang of 535, aka CONgre$$).
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK THEM UP!
I blame the idiots in Wisconsin who elected this scumbag globalist..along with the dumbasses in SC who voted to reelect pos Lindsey Graham..and the dumbasses in Kentucky who re elected McConnell..and Arizona with McCain..these are the people who are trying to destroy Trump with the democrats
THese scum are the worst of the worst
For winning the election?
I am of the belief the “Trump Election” will be remembered for how it temporarily stopped the massive bleeding out of America for 4 and hopefully 8 years.
However, the “self-inflicted” mortal wounds inflicted for the last 30 years will finish her off after he leaves.
the fact this question is asked shows that some on the right need to find a new interest.
No, for killing repeal of Obamacare, which was one of the biggest stated goals of the GOP platform. Now Ryan is starting this cute BS of his.
Stop beating up Wisconsin. Ryan’s district is one of eight, most of the state didn’t elect him.
Paul Ryan is just one Rep of 435. It was the Republican House that gave this Quisling the Speakership. The blame lies with them.
Just like the 12 years of Reagan(then Bush) did some forty years ago.
The people that keep voting for him are the people that need to be screamed at.
Bunch of rubes more turned on by this guy being Speaker, as if they all get a residual check for it.
I hate insurance. I don't want to buy any insurance of any kind. God is my Providence.
Reagan was great, his successor, Bush Sr.,was the beginning of the last thirty years of destruction.
Not Losing the election
Gerrymandering, perhaps?
That's a little bit true, but it misses the point.
Congress tries hard to give people what they want. The problem with healthcare is that people want a number of things, some of which are mutually exclusive, and the intensity with which they want each one varies based on their particular circumstances at any given time.
Based on 45 years of observing patients and their families, I would say the top three "wants" are 1) Immediate access to all the care needed for a particular event, 24x7x365 and regardless of geography or season. 2) No payment at the point of service and no charges they can't afford, and 3) No one denied "emergency" care who can't or won't pay for it, or at least, if it happens, it happens in a way that they don't have to read about it or hear about it.
The "system", since 1965, has been pretty good at delivering #1, or something close to it.
The problem is that the machine that delivers #1 has been paid for with debt and money printing. This has created a crisis that the politicians KNOW they have to deal with, but without seeming to take away #1.
Number two is why "insurance" still exists, even though medical needs are not rare like car crashes or house fires. Oh, and it still exists also because it provides rivers of cash to Members of Congress. You can, for a time and by granting tax deductions to large employers create the appearance of no payment at the time of service and no unaffordable charges, but what is really going on is overpayment for some things, underpayment for others, and no payment for illegal aliens and others without insurance. Obamacare and Romneycare are the eventual result.
It's number three, though, that makes a single payer system an (eventual) certainty. Congress passed, and Reagan signed, a bill in 1986 that required hospitals (I'm not sure about other providers) to give any and all emergency care, and care to women in labor, without regard to payment, and in answer to "how can we pay for this", Congress said, "Who knows? You figure it out". The way this has been "figured out" has made every bill, every charge, every Medicare cost report, and every internal budgeting process since then an exercise in subjectivity (to put it kindly).
Yes, "the People" hate Obamacare and want it repealed, that is absolutely correct.
They also want insurance for pre-existing conditions, coverage for their adult children, coverage (of some sort) available to everyone, free care for emergencies and childbirth, and other things.
The fact is, the only thing the people hate about Obamacare is the name, and paying for it.
Getting rid of the rest will end the careers of Members who vote for it, and usher in a 1974-style left wing Congress that will nationalize the whole thing.
This is why I expect Trump to support a single payer scheme with a robust private option within a few months - he really has no other choice.
Nothing new. The spineless GOP-e always talks a better game out of power than they deliver in power. Trump will drag them kicking and screaming to his agenda. The nice thing about the spineless GOP-e is that Trump can bully them into submission just as easily as the Democrats and media can.
To make the Left miserable while we enjoy life.
