Yes. I could care less what technical maneuvering is needed to properly appease the house parliamentarian, the mechanics involved, etc. This bill is not explicitly repeal and replace of Obamacare. Nor does the bill or Congress define the path (specific actions and dates) to do so.
Premiums remain high. Deductibles remain damn near unreachable. Healthcare costs continue to rise without any driver to reverse it. Foolish Ocare rules are affecting quality of care, accessibility to care, and have had consequences on jobs and the economy.
I can see assume some of the major decisions to be made and key tasks needed. I cannot see any excuse for repeal and replace to happen very soon.
Ryan needs to apologize to all American families paying for insurance we cannot afford to use. Starting with mine. Then he needs to step down and a strong Conservative leader take his place.
The Ryan bill will be approved and many of those voting for it will lose their seats next year. It will serve them right.
No, if they rubber stamp this bill, we will still have ACA.
No we won't. The coming Obamacare disaster will FORCE the 'Rats to work with the Republicans to come up with a replacement. I don't know why people can't understand this.
The Obamacare collapse will be a hard-earned lesson for the snowflake voters and could make the 'Rats a minority party for decades.
It’s not a repeal - it’s an enhancement.
Enhancements make things better. There is nothing in this that will not either maintain a bad situation in place or else make it worse.
And election day we still have Obamacare
Interesting Freudian slip in your post.
Baloney. There’s no reason, except corruption, the House couldn’t have written a decent bill. They just did as usual, and kissed the lobbyists butt. That’s Paul Ryan’s fault. You can’t lay this rotten egg at the feet of conservatives. They’re trying to do what was promised.
I don't, so please explain why the Democrats will not leave the whole mess in the Republican's hands?
The Freedom Caucus are the only sane ones on this. They see RyanCare for what it is - a great fat prize to the rentseeking insurance companies who badly regret their embrace of ObamaCare and want a do-over that screws all of us but makes them whole. RyanCare is just ObamaCare with favors added for the insurance companies. The correct solution is a completely free market in medical services/insurance.
I suspect you are correct. The author, ran for Alabama’s 1st District Congressional Seat in 2014. He placed FOURTh in the Republican primary. Methinks there is a large portion of sour grapes in his article.

P.S. Apparently he is another pseudo intellectual that doesn’t comprehend what the word REPEAL means.
It does make things better - from the perspective of ACA. For those who didn’t like ACA, it makes things w9rse.
It won't go down all at once. There will be chaos for those insured through it, and those trying to figure out the mandates for employers and insurance companies.
Not to mention chaos in the economy.
But, I guess that's just fine.
One doesn't "appoint" a Speaker of the House. He or she wins an election.
Fine with me. the people who are covered by Obozocare who will not have coverage as companies drop them are the illegals, the Medicaid folks, the homeless. They get better care than I do since they ride to a Level IV Trauma Center in a $200,000 ambulance with EMT’s by their side every time they have a headache or the flu. They will be fine.
How do you blame the Republicans, who did not cast a single vote for Obamacare, for the collapse of OBAMAcare? It is OBAMAcare. Not TRUMPcare. OBAMAcare.
And when it crashes and burns the people will know who is responsible: A lying 'Rat Party, a lying 'Rat President, and a lying 'Rat Media.
Count me in as well.
I marvel at how many people have taken a liking to their ball and chain.
Trust the SEnate to straighten it all out? LOLOLOL
