I think the President has targeted the wrong side on this bill. I hope this is just a negotiating tactic, but as it stands I really hate this bill and the fact that the RINO’s are dumping this piece of crap on us.
there is a slight positive to this..it shows he is willing to take on Congress..but he is on the wrong side of this.
I have to wonder if Josh Kushners BILLION dollar company that depends on Obamacare has any bearing on Obamacarelite.
A poster said this gives illegals healthcare. SAY WHAT?????
Also gets rid of Christian Healthcare Ministries. WHY?
Please Mr. President, do not settle for anything less than 100% repeal of Obamacare. Root and branch. Every single word.
NOPE!
Money for Mehhiccans and other illegals is a deal breaker for me.
Yeah, I think I going to go on something more official than stuff supposedly said in a closed door meeting.
GET THE DAMNED GOVERNMENT OUT OF IT!
THIS INCLUDES TRUMP.
I think people are reading too much into his statement. All he is pointing out is that people are sick of congress dropping the ball on healthcare and will not vote for them anymore. He is talking about OUR retribution, not his.
I just don't see Trump saying this.
I’m very quickly losing faith in our new POTUS..and I was a YUGE supporter all the way through the campaign.
It’s sheer idiocy to force a WORSE bill on us than the nightmare we already have, just to say you have a “win”. (eg: it will apparently INCREASE costs [the biggest issue with Obambicare] for people over 50 that have to buy their own insurance vs being covered by a plan through their work - probably dramatically).
If this is the way Trump is going to govern, he’s going to lose my and millions of other people’s support VERY quickly and be a one-term President.
I sure hope he has a super-secret grand strategy up his sleeve, because what is being proposed at this point is TOTAL CRAP. I’m really shocked he’d actually get behind it.
I wish he didn’t want this so bad, but he might be thinking if he gets rid of the mandate it will give us the individual choice of buying it or not. I guess that’s a start... I know he wants to make it so we can buy insurance across state lines (which I don’t think is in the bill) and there’s no way he’s going to want illegals to buy into it.

The GOP has never felt comfortable about being in charge of the government. The Dems act like the governing party even when in the minority. They set the agenda and the narrative. They remain united no matter what the issue.
The GOPe and conservatives both hate Trump because he is neither. The perfect has become the enemy of the good for both camps.
Maybe the long journey starts with one small step? If this is the case though, Trump ought to say so.
This issue is turning Trump into just another big government republican. The phases are just standard issue bait and switch, like the “amnesty now, enforcement later” crap they keep pushing.
McConnell and Ryan will never understand that nothing they do will ever make the media happy. They just keep trying to please MSNBC.
I don’t like the art of this deal & will not support it.
Swampcare!
Hannity said, last night, that the two things holding up the Freedom Caucus/conservative groups, on this bill, are the individual mandate and Cadillac taxes.
That’s my concern, as well. Remove those two things and it’s a deal.
“And President Trump is threatening any Republican who votes against it.”

I’m not so worried about the Republicans who vote against it as I am worried about the Democrats who vote for it.
Let this sink in a moment. Why would dems vote for RyanCare?
Because they know - as do conservatives everywhere - that RyanCare will doom the Trump presidency.
