Anything Paul Ryan touches is a train wreck.
Trump should not trust Paul Ryan, his new BFF.
Paul Ryan is John Boehener with widow’s peak instead of an orange glow ...
I pray Trump will not go on road rallies and go after Gop who disn’t vote to pass bill. Not a way to work and deal. Why pass a bad deal at any cost?
If they (Paul Ryan) would just repeal the damn thing like they’ve promised in the past 6 years, then I’ll be happy. But, with GOPe Ryan involved, there’s a helluva problem. He’s trying to foist Obamicare Lite/Duplicate upon us!
Replacing one train wreck with another is not a solution.
Why is the President doing this? What is the rush? Why don’t we take time and get it right?
He has had at least 3 meetings with Dr Death. That guy shouldnt be allowed anywhere near this
It’s just about impossible to remove an entrenched government entitlement program.
Ted Cruz knows what that's like.
Note to Trump: Call in Ryan. Ask him to step aside from the role of trying to honcho an ACA repeal-and-replace bill; completely aside. Ask to appoint xxxxxxxxxx (a real Conservative) as the “whip” to put a House-GOP-majority bill together. Remind that person to remind the rest of the House. The bill does not have agree with the Senate’s version. Non-agreement only means that passing different bills in each chamber will result in the formation of a reconciliation bill. Some poor Senate or House elements of their separate bills can be reconciled there.
Be warned. A large part of the so called Deep State consists of anti Trump RINOs too.
Being allowed by Trump by design to torpedo Paul Rino.
RYNOcare simply strips all the fiscal support and penalties from Obamacare.
Interstate competition and other reforms are not fiscal, but rather statutory issues.
Only the party that specializes in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory could turn a train wreck into a train wreck. It is a pathetic, yet amazing phenomena to watch.
I really don’t understand Trump’s stance on this at all. It’s good that the individual mandate will be gone under this legislation, but the bottom line is it’s still socialized medicine, giving everybody access to healthcare no matter what their preexisting conditions may be. And without the individual mandate and those dollars, costs will skyrocket. The only way health plans will be able to keep going is to charge those that remain in health plans far, far more, in order to help fund the sick who would’ve been otherwise uninsurable.
The bottom line is this appears to be kabuki theater. The hated socialized medicine Obamacare is being repealed and replaced with a more expensive socialized medicine scheme. I just don’t see any way around this being an unmitigated disaster for Repubs in the increased costs everybody will be charged.
What should be happening is just a reset of the law to what it was before Obamacare was foisted on this nation. Period. Then replace it with something that’s not socialized medicine.
It’s obvious the Repubs are terrified of the optics of kicking poor, unhealthy people off this socialist “entitlement” that should’ve never been permitted to be enacted. But that’s how a true repeal and replace would work.
Cruz was right to fall on his sword and force a government shutdown in order to try to stop this crap, because once an “entitlement” buries itself in the body politic like a tick, it’s almost impossible to remove it. Too bad he wasn’t successful.
I doubt it.
Back when Bush was president, he had a republican congress. Those Republicans morphed into Democrat lite thinking they could buy votes and keep their majority. The voters be damned. Obviously that was wrong because they soon became the minority party.
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are taking us down the same path. These clowns never learn. If Ryan fumbles the healthcare ball, how’s he gonna get tea party support next year when the Democraps are vulnerable in the Senate? BTW, I see Koskinen is still head of the IRS and Lois Lerner is still running free.
