“”My guess is that the Senate bill passes and the House takes it up and passes it with no changes. Trump will sign it the same day the House passes it. The whole process could take just a day or two from Senate passage to enactment into law.
It’s becoming clear to the GOP that not passing a health insurance bill risks not passing a tax reform bill also. And if neither of those happens, you can kiss the House goodbye in 2018. Voters will cashier the GOP legislators for nonperformance, and they’ll deserve it.”
I concur with your analysis. To me, I’d rather see the O’care partial repeal passed sooner and less perfectly, so that tax cuts/reform can be addressed ASAP, than the other way around. Scrapping key provisions of O’care and passing a tax cut will boost the economy, as well as show that Trump and the Republicans are making progress despite all of the Russia! Russia! Russian! bilge. It’ll set the Dems up in ‘18 for a Yuuuuge loss, and create so much confusion and conflict in the Dem Party that Trump will sail to victory in 2020 (and the great economy won’t hurt, either).
Besides, I want to see Obama get ticked off, with his signature policy thrown into the ocean with a boat anchor wrapped around its neck.
These always-taking-vacations bums had eight years to come-up with a complete alternative. Instead, they bloviate and have parties in WDC. I thought these poltroons promised if elected they would repeal nobnamacare? What ongoing and in the future) LIARS. Pathetic...truly pathetic.
