Well as Hostage said...it’s a cluster ‘f’.....no matter how the Republicans cackle about it..... they STILL come up as the same old ‘incompetent’ bunch they’ve always been.
And you’re right they are out of excuses...if it weren’t for local elections I’d be signing up as Independent!
All this Russian fiasco is the Dems and media’s game shot and they’re drum beating this like there’s no more tomorrow as a means to keep the corruption they’ve undertaken in a smoke screen. I don’t buy it one bit! Especially when Hillary and Obama had their coffers full of foreign political contributions from gov. entities we’re at war with!
The political climate is full of nothing but toxic reporting and the spreed of here and Internationally.....very little do I pay any attention to as it’s all smoke an mirrors full of bitterness and sour grapes which is so very obvious to any with even an ounce of wisdom......and I don’t see the Republicans stepping up the least bit effectively to oppose it.
I truly feel for Pres. Trump as he weathers this onslaught and give him great credit for going forward non the less. It’s soo very bad for this country what the Demorats/MSM are doing....and they have no concern that it is.
As I see it bad apples of both parties are obstructing it all...they were bad apples before Trump and they’re much more so now.......but since David did slay Goliath with the hand of the Almighty God..then I am not prepared for any of the good men to throw in the towel....you can never tell who or what will change what we are seeing to something never expected!
Poor start.
I was very concerned that given the very weak start, as citizens we would never see part 2 or 3. We would be stuck, forever, with Obamacare-lite. I e-mailed my representatives to vote against it
**IF***....They had included sell insurance across state lines, then I would have e-mailed my representatives to support it.
Pas de quois Jane !
The insurance Companies are drooling over the Ryan bill because they now have a market which has trained their clients to be accustomed to $6000.00 to $10,000 deductibles.
Those deductibles will never go down if the Insurance Companies have their way in the Ryan bill, their profits will skyrocket.
We need interstate Health Insurance competition badly. Without that we will have no equitable health insurance for the people with 1000 dollar deductibles or $500 deductibles as we should have and indeed, had in the past.
The Freedom Caucus is a pack of saboteurs who do nothing but help the democrats.
All the True Conservatives keep lauding how awesome the Freedom Caucus is.
I can't help but wonder.......
Did the Freedom Caucus have a bill ready to present to the House to deal with Obamacare?
Where was their proposal?
I haven't read anywhere that the Freedom Caucus had an Obamacare repeal bill, an Obamacare repeal and replace bill, an Obamacare repair bill, or any kind of legislation to fix the situation.
As usual, the True Conservatives are perfectly happy to watch the country burn, as long as they get to virtue signal about Muh Constitution! and Muh Freedom!
They simply just sit back and watch what's going on around them, sit on their hands, and whine.
You should do a little research before saying things. You really do not know about which you speak.
I agree entirely. Ted Poe must be beginning to channel our worthless Senator, “John Wayne” Cornyn.
And THAT is why we MUST REPEAL!
We won’t het a straight repeal. Too many repub moderate senators oppose it.
Then Trump is a liar and not the leader of the party
Bingo. All of this back and forth is just foreplay, something better than ryan-obamacare will pass.
It turns out that a legislator’s opinion the travel ban doesn’t matter at all, while it is quite weighty in the far more important health care issues.
State regulations were always in effect either positively with laws and regulations or negatively with bribery to avoid them. State insurance commissioners are big players in state politics.
Representative Poe has now confirmed that the HFC did move the goalposts, and as such, was being disingenuous.
I am confident something will get done soon, and I'm equally confident that cirtually nobody—not the American people, not the purists, and not me—will be satisfied.
Regardless, I will stand with President Trump. What's good enough for him is good enough for me, at least for the moment. He deserves that much.
Sometimes baby steps must suffice in order to get a constructive process started...
Hey POE; BULLSHIT!
A bad bill is worse than no bill because it is hard as hell to change it once it’s in place like a tick on a dog’s ass.
**IF***....They had included sell insurance across state lines, then I would have e-mailed my representatives to support it.
I don’t claim to be an authority on Obamacare or healthcare in general, but I understood that Secretary Price had the ability to do that once Ryan’s bill went into effect. Everyone involved (even some democrats) have said they want to change this idiotic rule.
I believe Trump (or Spicer for him) said this during the push to get the Ryan bill passed and Hannity also talked about it on his radio show.
If I am wrong, I apologize, but I understood this would be changed after the initial bill. Hearing Tom Price talk about what would happen in phase 2 encouraged me and Trump promised phase 2 and phase 3. None of this was set in stone so the opportunity to pass something and begin the heavy lifting was worth taking - warts and all.
Just my .02
Trump never promised a straight repeal. Always repeal and replace
Yep and you gave up and let the people who elected you down. You are nothing but part of the cesspool now.
A lot of people are going to be pretty upset if their insurance is suddenly canceled by Congress. They won’t understand the nuances of statute expiration dates down the road. They will also wonder how any replacement of the insurance they will loose is going to happen in the time needed. A lot of them were Trump voters and Republican voters. While some of it is about getting votes. More of it is about campaign contributions. The best health bill that corporate money can buy.
