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.

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.
