Obamacare is not going to be repealed overnight and getting of the forced mandates and open-entitlements is of immediate importance.
Democrats are not going to vote for any reform of Obamacare and of course the politically easy way out would be to wait and let it collapse of its own weight.
But it would also be irresponsible and under the circumstances its not my dream repeal bill but it guts the heart of Obamacare.
Boy, schumer is laying it on thick!
By replacing them with forced mandates and open-ended entitlements of its own.
But it would also be irresponsible and under the circumstances its not my dream repeal bill but it guts the heart of Obamacare.
And transplants another unworkable government program and entitlement in its place. So where is that an improvement?
The only thing that matters right now is that the GOP must pass a Federal bill that gives immediate relief to Americans in the form of lower premiums and/or lower out-of-pocket health care costs.
If this can be accomplished now, then great. If not, then the whole exercise is a waste of time because the GOP is probably going to lose the House in 2018 if we get to the fall of 2017 and people end up seeing the same exorbitant rate increases in their insurance renewals that they've seen for the last 5+ years.
