Everyone seems to forget this the first step of a three-phase approach:

The insurance sale change can’t be made by tweaking Obamacare because it was not part of Obamacare in the first place. Trump has made it clear he wants that as a key part of his plan, and has spoken of buying health insurance just like you buy car insurance in every speech he’s made.
Rush Limbaugh is not needed.
Nobody here has forgotten it. I think Freepers generally fall into two groups as far as this "three-phase approach" goes:
1. Some of us don't trust the GOP to implement Phase 2 and/or Phase 3.
2. Some of us don't believe the GOP will be any closer to mustering 60 votes for Phases 2 and/or 3 than they have right now.
That's why we're adamant about the GOP doing it all right now ... or putting up a heroic fight in a losing effort. If they pass a "Phase 1" bill in 2017 and insurance premiums increase by even one penny in 2018, then the GOP will likely lose both houses of Congress ... and you'll have a better chance of seeing Donald Trump wearing a sombrero and giving the 2019 State of the Union address in Spanish than seeing Phase 2 even get out of a House committee.
no conservative or free market steps will ever be passed by Congress. just like “future spending cuts” never actually transpire.
