McConnell: We’re not splitting repeal and replace
Hot Air ^ | July 1, 2017 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 07/02/2017 8:49:53 AM PDT by Cheerio

So much for Donald Trump’s input, eh? Yesterday, the president tweeted out his strategy for solving the impasse in the Senate over the ObamaCare repeal effort — to split the repeal and replace functions and pass each separately. Senators Ben Sasse and Rand Paul immediately endorsed the idea, although Sasse did want to give the comprehensive strategy a few more days first.

I am done listening to the lies of the Republicans in order to win election.

The House has voted 54 times in four years on Obamacare. Here’s the full list.

Searching the page, the word "REPLACE" only shows up TWO places in the list of 54 times it was voted on.

United States Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.

McConnell probly still uses a princess phone.

This is PRECISELY THE WAY that you screw these complex bills up.

Ya gonna do TWO things??

Foist you do the ONE, then (after it’s done) do the OTHER.

It’s really not that hard.

Why not split it, Turtle?

What is YOUR vested interest in screwing the rest of us to maintain fed control over our health?

McConnell and Ryan are bought and paid for by the globalists. We will never get anything passed with those two leading the charge. It’s frustrating to see the Democrats bloodied up, on the ropes, and just a sitting duck ready to be taken down, but our two gutless congressional leaders are giving them a rescue line.

Ask Mitch how he’s going to “replace”the Trump voters next election. Cause DJT can smash the establishment GOP with one speech. Has he not figured out he’s dealing with a guy who WILL go there? Remember when Trump last threatened to work with democrats.

They can’t hide goodies for their corporate donors unless they do a bloated 5000 page bill.

This POS does not have to comply with this mess known as the Affordable Care Act. However he does not have a problem with keeping the rest of us shackled with it. A great big FU McConnell!!

C’mon, people. We can’t let President Trump do all the heavy lifting. We need to call McConnell and our own Senators and
Representatives and tell them we want them to split Repeal and Replace.

Turtle is a ryno-traitor.

Despite running on it repeatedly, He has no intention of repealing Obamacare.

Primary.

Must be some really dark stuff in his FBI files the Clinton Mafia got hold of when he was elected....

Personally I hope he departs soon, he is compromised in a deep way

And who is president? If McConnell cannot or won’t deliver, her should resign. Elections have consequences.

Why ever not? You spineless RINOs had plenty of “practice runs” making grandstanding show votes when you didn’t have the majority to actually repeal it.

Apparently McConnell likes Obamacare better than no Obamacare. It’s just that simple.

This bill has nothing to do with replacing Obamacare.

It is designed to DESTROY Trump's presidency.

If this bill passes, it will immediately be called "Trumpcare."

The people who lost their health insurance under Obamacare and were ignored by the media will suddenly be given 24/7 platforms to air their sob stories of losing their Obamacare coverage under Trump.

We MUST have full repeal of Obamacare. Or there will be single-payer. We cannot continue with Obamacare nor can we even go back to what healthcare used to be before Obamacare.

- Turn Medicare/Medicaid and all other federally-funded or regulated healthcare programs over to the states

- Give all Americans a $5,000-a-year tax credit to write off all health insurance premiums, co-pays, deductibles, or charitable contributions for other people's healthcare

- Repeal the law that ERs must treat anyone that walk into the ER.

- Congress must use its interstate commerce powers to allow insurers to compete across state lines

- National tort reform

- Overrule corrupt state insurance commissioners that mandate insurers must cover every procedure under the sun

- Allow Physician Assistants, RNs, LPNs to establish their own practices and clinics. This will increase coverage in rural and poor areas

Trump is forcing their hand and is exposing them. Do nothing and watch ObamaCare be the anchor around all of their necks.

So, this Uniparty bastard has finally shown his true colors.

Maybe Tim Russell knew something we didn’t when he reassigned Republican areas the color red, for election coverage maps.
