Repeal it.
Remove regulations which limit what people can buy.
Let the marketplace solve it.

Yes, some rich guy is going end up with better insurance than me. So, what else is new? It’s the way of the world.

The GOP (who invented and imposed RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE)
LOVES socialized medicine controlled through taxes
as long as they, and their families, and their staff,
and their staffs’ families .... are EXEMPT.

and so it is.

YEAH BUT you would need $44,500 if it wasn’t for Obamacare. I’m lovin’ that extra $2500 cash money in my wallet from the glorious Obamacare savings.

There's a simple reason for this: it is not the government's function to be involved in health insurance at all, saving for the prosecution of fraud, larceny, robbery, manslaughter.

There will be no repeal.
The Uniparty eunuchs serve as attendants of Fedzilla, which derives great power from controlling all health care decisions and medical records.
They will never vote to remove that power from Fedzilla.

Repeal and replace is a euphemism for rearrange and repair.

Repeal:1.revoke or annul (a law or congressional act):

This they will never do.

Health care, or its insurance is not a right.

How can it be if we are to be penalized for not buying it from the government? It is financially based so can not/will never be equal for all.

ObamaCare was broken in its inception, as we would see it, but as the specter that allowed the govt to push regulatory control over such a large amount of its citizens and economy it has done exactly what it was designed to do.

It may be helpful to break this into 3 pieces:
1. Health care - this is simple because it literally means meeting your health care needs. In the US everyone has access to basic life preserving health care. How it is delivered andpaid or not paid for is a donneybrook.
2. Health care insurance - a way of paying for health care and insure against cost that you cannot financially bear.
3. Government spending on or directly providing health care
4. Government regulation of health care.

Seems to me we can have a free market for 1and 2 and we can allow 3 and 4. Completely and utterly deregulate 1 and 2. Make 3 and 4 an option. We can debate what 3 and 4 should be and how much we wished to be taxed. 1 and 2 require no debate other than deregulate and leave alone.

Good article. I have an uncle who retired early (58) but likes to work part time to keep busy. With his investment income and part time work he was ineligible for any subsidies. He now has to pay over $700 a month just for premiums. He has no pre-existing conditions and only goes to the doctor for an annual check up.

Well, this does leave us in a bit of a quandary. The Freedom caucus is for Repeal

The Donald is dumping on the members of the Freedom Caucus

What Deal are we going to get - A RAW Deal, or will the Donald DEAL with the Rinos?

There is no legitimate federal constitutional authority in health care. Us “purists” aka real Americans understand that. Realistically it won’t be returned to this in the short term. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good education/civics campaign to improve understanding, and at the same time take reasonable steps in the direction of the free market. Ryanocare is a move in the wrong direction and only serves to tar the Republican brand and free market solutions

Tell him not to buy it anymore, they arent enforcing the penalty.

Christian Healthshare plans that are government acceptd for insurance are far cheaper. Or dont have any and sock away some money each month for expenses he will have.

I am getting to be against the repugnintcans. Listened to a commercial this morning thanking my Congressman for saving the 20 million depending on Obamacare. - paid for by some hospital association. Yeah, all the illegals, all the people on welfare all the people that can walk in and pay not a thing, 20 million or more, bless their thieving hearts. I walk into an emergency room and it’s 1300 to sit down and wait. And the kicker, they want it up front now.

F em all.

Agreed on Ryancare. But I support it for Trump’s sake. We need to 100% focus on the SC and immigration and Islamization in that order.

Repeal the unlawful piece of DC takeover!

Repeal:

1 to rescind or annul by authoritative act; especially
to revoke or abrogate by legislative enactment

2 abandon, renounce

3 obsolete
to summon to return
recall

Only a politician could make it mean anything resembling what GOP is trying to do.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
