Ah yes. The blame game is on. You blame the HFC for allowing PP to continue on.
Do you honestly believe RyanCare would keep that provision intact as it moved from committee to committee? From House to Senate?
Do you honestly belive that concessions with the democrats in Phase II or Phase III would still allow defunding for PP?
Of course you don’t.
Like normal people, you don’t believe RyanCare would even get enough RINO support to pass. Much less any support from true conservatives.
So now you want to blame the fact PP is still being funded on conservatives?
Hoo boy!
Remember when it was all supposed to have been debated and designed under the watchful eye of C-SPAN? That didn't happen.
Remember when SanFranNan said we need to pass it before we could find out what's in it?
Remember the "deeming and scheming" to get it out of the House?
Remember how it was designed to fail under the concept of Cloward-Piven to 'overwhelm the system', drive it into failure under Obama, teeing it up for Hillary to transform it into single-payer-socialized medicine?
Remember when Roberts took the law to the woodshop and figured out how to morph it from a mandate to a tax? Hammer to fit, paint to match!
This was a dog, a pig, and a turkey all rolled into a feces sandwich.
It will take some time to undo, and it is being un-done, for the most part, in "regular order" - a concept unknown to the Marxist-Socialist-Leftist (but that is redundant). It doesn't help when there are RINOs siding with the left, or factions looking for the perfect when "good" is a good thing and directionally correct.
So, I ask, should the House use parliamentary parlor tricks to pass TrumpCare? Maybe so. Would the "Phase1+Phase2" Cruz plan have worked where - heaven forbid - the House and Senate act in tandem? We'll never know.
