Meadows sorta admits that the FC was moving the goal posts in the article.
Admits that they’re moving goalposts in the direction of Trump, i.e., the opposite of what they have been accused.
As I explained to the other fellow, he's lying. There are multiple articles from last week of the HFC telling Trump that they agree to repeal and REPLACE. That they had come to that firm agreement "in principle" at the very least, and that only the details remain.
Meadows is lying when he claims that they supported repeal but are now back onto replace.
Meadows is also lying about the nature of his concessions. Community Rating is the other name for covering people with pre-existing conditions.
He picked this in particular, knowing this is just a phase one part of the plan--with more reforms to come in later installments, because he knows that it won't pass the House or Senate even if they get all 30 HFC retards to vote in favor of it.
More political theater, basically.
And I generally agree with that.
But a day or two before the vote, Meadows and Bratt were on Hannity where it sure looked like they had an agreement.

So what happened here more vacillation? Unless you're a fly on the wall listening in or can read minds, it's hard to say. Maybe Meadows also has a hard time keeping his FC cats corralled.
