If we can now get the RINO wing to go along, this may be the first step in a deal.

Two GREAT (liberal reporter) tweets on the new plan...
“Matt Fuller @MEPFuller · 2h2 hours ago
Jim Jordan lays out his understanding: allowing people to buy across state lines means if one state guts pre-existing conditions...”

Yes! If one state figures out a better way then everyone can get on their plan. That’s the end of Obamacare.

The most exciting:
“Matt Fuller&#
@MEPFuller
Moderate Republicans thus far proving the Freedom Caucus’ point: As long as you get conservatives, the rest of the conference will go along.”

The way it should have always been and never was!

Are they going to still be exempt from them having to have obamacare? They should be on obamacare too. I call it deathcare.

That wasn't what you thought, but anyway it's getting deleted.
Was certainly a bad PR item.

GOP health amendment would exempt members of Congress from losing Obamacare protections

Where did you see/hear that? Trump signed an EO last week dealing with the vets and hospital care.

It still exempts Congress from participating so it must be a wonderful plan
Priorities, people

As predicted, what’s left of the Cuck Caucus has seen the handwriting on the wall...

Thats temporary. MacArthur amendment to healthcare is the issue vets here need to find out if they did it again

No. That wasn’t what it was made out to be. It didn’t do anything for Congress because they and all their staffers use the DC Exchange- which wouldn’t make any changes.

Anyway, though it was done to meet the Byrd Rule, there are other ways to do that.
PR-wise, it certainly was about the worst language that could have been put in the bill!

Don’t understand what you’re saying about vets.. is it this?

That has nothing to do with the Macarthur amendment.

I am curious if the language was corrected. “News” tell what’s exciting and then never follows up.

I agree but it appears we are already settling on what we think we can get.

***

Every step in the right direction is one that we should take.

And then don’t rest; continue to fight on.

This may be the best deal we can get out of those cucks in Congress at this time, but it’s not the FINAL deal.
