Anything Paul Ryan touches is a train wreck.
Trump should not trust Paul Ryan, his new BFF.
Forget about Ryan. The article makes a good point. Why would TRUMP go to such lengths to pass an ineffective bill?
Like a football game being fought out at midfield, this is a game of inches.
There is still no breakaway for either side, and the final score cannot be 0-0. A very stark binary choice stands, either a collapsing Obamacare, or a substitute that stands to be further modified before it collapses in its own right.
Chuck Schumer would be amenable to making some changes to Obamacare, but the basic structure would NOT be repealed. And it would still collapse. Does nobody remember HMO’s, and how universally HATED they were? Yet this is the only kind of “insurance” plan that is gaining any traction under the current Obamacare structure. The much more flexible PPO plans are either going broke or folding up completely.
