the AHCA bill was polling at 17%. A Freedom Caucus Repeal and Do not replace bill that returns us to Healthcare as it existed in 2009 would have 7% approval.
People do not want discrimination on pre-existing conditions. Period. Democrats would destroy us with ad after ad of people saved by Obamacare and now dying or DEAD!
These are the facts. Repeal without a Replacement is political suicide.
You don’t know what you are talking about.
A real free market plan, presented correctly, would be widely supported. Why do you think the GOP ran on just that for the last three election cycles?
And we just need a plan that makes sure those with pre-existing can get coverage, in a way that is similar and fair in comparison to Medicaid. (That is, no reason why the poor have to be poor to stay on Medicaid, but those with pre-existing conditions who hadn’t bothered to get themselves covered adequately should have others pay for their health expenses if they are wealthy.)
What, do you work in the health insurance industry or something?
These are the facts. Repeal without a Replacement is political suicide.
...
Yep. Pure free market ideology doesn’t work with healthcare. I just tell myself we’ll get a lot better law than what we would have had with Hillary.
No one minds a smoker paying 50% more!
States will have the power to mandate pre-existing conditions coverage.
Yeah, but after the Senate gets done it will be a very different bill. That would happen anyway.
That’s what I’ve been saying. Unfortunately there are too many conservatives that just don’t understand that doing something is better than doing nothing. A full repeal is a non starter because it will never happen.
