Just heard POTUS say this is just politics. Hope he's not talking about conservatives. I really respect Freedom Caucus for standing up for what they believe is right.

...Paul Ryan’s behind the wheel; President Trump’s in the passenger seat...

Dear Peggy,

Paul Ryan just crashed into a tree. Maybe he belongs in the passenger seat. Or walking would be my choice.

WALK AWAY, Mr. President! Let Obamacare crash and burn on its own! Stay AWAY from Paul Ryan and his allies!

Sure, Peggy. If there's anything that Donald Trump is known for, it's being a weak-willed follower who lets stronger personalities (leaders) walk all over and manipulate him.

I don't know whose koolaid this silly girl is drinking, but it must be some potent stuff...

No Peggy, Trump didn't just promise to repeal Obama Care. He promised to take care of everybody. It will be a lot less expensive for everyone. No cuts to Medicaid. No one will lose coverage. Buy across state lines.

That doesn't sound like just repeal.

Before you get too mushy over the Freedom Caucus, bear in mind that all but one of them voted to keep Ryan as Speaker.

Had they done otherwise, we might not be having this kind of plan and vote.

I've said it before but why not one more time? Ryan said a couple of weeks ago that if this bill fails, the rest of Trump's agenda is DOA. Why? What does this have to do with, say, tax cuts? Well, it's simple. He was laying the groundwork to say this shows Trump has no mandate, no support, and is in crisis. Then he can block everything Trump wants to do with procedural BS. All he needed was a crap bill that could never pass. So he wrote one.

And here we are.

This is a situation where Trumps pragmatism and lack of constitutional conviction will allow a bad compromise if free market advocates don’t hold the line.

Paul Ryan has managed to get the president on board for a bill that is essentially Hillarycare.

There is too much rhetoric about why the bill is no good, without explanation. Is it that complex?

Why is the AHCA a good start? Some of the favorite features are no mandates, no penalties, repeal of taxes hidden in Obamacare, allowing the states to manage Medicaid, and, allowing states that opted for Medicaid expansion to keep it. These features are the exact opposite of what's in the Obamacare, which has failed miserably.

No one gets hurt with the AHCA, except maybe the insurance and prescription drug companies, who will have to retool their business models. Building their models around Obamacare didn't work.

The health insurance plan you were supposed to be able to keep is gone. Obamacare defined it out of existence. Yes, you were lied to!

Many doctors some people were supposed to keep are gone. 

Competing insurance companies in over a third of the counties in this country are gone.

Some people's jobs are gone.

Many of the so-called health insurance exchanges are gone.

Trump is showing he is a Constitutionalist and is letting the House deal with the Bill.

Ryan will fail and Trump will be laughing.

Wow. I rarely read such stupidity from the American Thinker. Sigh.

Fan of Trump here: (but I am not an idolator/worshipper like some on this website)

Trump is lazy and he has very little fundamental ideals--he never had to give a rat's ass about health care before in his life. He knows a couple of good things about the issue, but for whatever reason, trusts Rinse/Repeatus and that widow's peaked monkey boy POS enough to let them do whatever they want to do. And this is what we get.

Wait and see. I cannot imagine Trump to be that dim or to defer to another operator. I am waiting to see what sort of trap door gets spring under Ryan’s feet. If the hair pullers are right about Trump, then we are all toast.
