Under extreme pressure from conservative activists, House Republican leaders and the White House have restarted negotiations on legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
But efforts to revive the legislation in the House could take weeks, lawmakers conceded, as Congress moves forward with a full plate of other time-consuming issues. And the renewed push did not meet with much enthusiasm from Senate Republicans, who said they had other priorities at the moment.
Nonetheless, Speaker Paul D. Ryan vowed to renew efforts to repeal the law, despite last’s week crushing setback when House Republicans tossed aside a repeal bill because they lacked the votes to pass it.

Repeal and replace.
That has been what Trump has said since day one.
Repeal, and replace.
I believe it when I see it.
These losers can’t do a damned thing.
The free market is the replacement
Senate republicans, indeed almost all Senators, are absolute aholes. Health care reform could unlock a trillion in savings, but hey they’ve got other stuff to do. What a bunch of worthless liberal prima donas.
Repeal and replace is done.
Now its time for Primary and Replace
I hope they are not BS’g us AGAIN.
Ryan should delegate this to someone with leadership skills. Better yet, Ryan should step down.
Replace with freedom of choice, free markets, and a LOT less government involvement.
Not what Trump ran on. Deal with it.
Give Trump six months and it will look a lot different...
Reagan had a hell of a time with Bush and Dole..
Trump is smart he will figure it out..
It might be do it or else in six months
They should simply shut up about any repeal until AFTER it is known that the votes are there. No more Pied Piper prancing hither and tither just to make a lively noise.
Nope.
We’ve tried “just free market” and it gave us the single most expensive medical care on the entire planet, in which millions and millions cannot even get coverage because of set of circumstance such as the loss of a job, or a pre-existing condition.
That is WHY we got Obamacare in the first place. Because the last time we were in charge, we did nothing about these very real, vary large problems.
Nope. Medical care is critical to everyone.
It is expensive, it is critical, and the government needs to be involved to the extent that it assures everyone can be covered. I am not saying the government needs to provide coverage to everyone.
But the government needs to insure everyone can get coverage.
All Americans.
Period.
Repeal and replace is NOT what the member of the House and Senate ran on for the past 8 years. They ran for office on repealing Obamacare.
Replace is not what many in Congress ran on...deal with it.
If they do not do what the lobbyist want..no free stuff
Americans sure are Suckers!, Obamacare will NEVER be Repealed, Replaced, or Repaired. EVER! Get over it.
President Trump has a prime opportunity right now to finally end Obamacare.
1. Invite Schumer and Pelosi to the White House to discuss Health Care.
2. After the meeting hold a press conference and announce your New Plan to help all 24 MILLION FEDERAL EMPLOYEES get the Very Finest and Affordable Health Care this Country as to offer.
3. This will put Schhumer and Pelosi in one hell of a predicament and will be the most entertaining thing to happen in Politics in My Life Time!!
I believe our Public Employees deserve the Best Health Care America has to offer, and that is the Official Government Health Care Plan, Obamacare. So why don’t you quit pussyfooting around and Proudly Proclaim your desire to see that ALL Federal Employees receive the Finest, Most Affordable Health Care the US has to offer, OBAMACARE.
All the Money currently wasted on these inferior high priced cadillac plans can be diverted to the Wall.
There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:
Executive Orders
1. All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.
2. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.
3. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.
And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.
Sign these 3 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.
NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???
I would also consider another Executive Order Withholding All Transportation Funds from All States that do Not have Their Public Employees enrolled in Obamacare, just to Prove a Point.
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
Are you serious this time, Pubbies?
Because if you try to sneak another stinker by we’ll ram it back down your throats too.
So you support slavery ... because the only way the government can cover everyone is to ENSLAVE people by taking from them AGAINST THEIR WILL the fruits of their labor.
Well stated.
There was very little that was “free market” in the “old system”.
It was already perverted by government interference.
