Podhoretz is a putz, a damned elitist, # NEVERTRUMPER, and has excrement for brains!
so there you go.....the libs wanted this and now they get to keep there crap....
Obama and the rats are fully to blame for what is health care in this country.
I might point out that for eight years, the GOP talked about this great solution or replacement idea for health-care. Well...where is it? It’s not Trump’s fault, but the bulk of the GOP Senators are hopelessly lost and unable to resolve the problem. I think the epic failure here....if there is one...is that some Senators need to be sent back home and replaced.
So we now know with absolute certainty just why democrats sent obamacare to the president in 2010 without even knowing what was in the bill. They knew while pretending to not know? That is until they demanded waivers for themselves.
I don’t blame Trump at all for this.
The GOP gets 100% of the blame.
They are doing this on purpose. They are liars. They are the Swamp.
The GOP has to go.
So what would be the non-fatal parts of ObamaCare?
The only thing I can think of is the keeping your kid on your employee health plan until they are 26. (I don’t support it so you don’t have to flame me)
It’s a problem but I don’t think it is fatal. But why keep a huge monstrosity of a government wealth redistribution program that is also a Liberal social engineering program.
There is nothing in ObamaCare worth saving and anything less than total repeal is cowardice on the part of Republicans and playing politics on the part of Democrats.
Both sides know the program is a total failure. The Democrats can not give up their victory of socialized medicine after 75 years of trying. The Democrats also know that admitting ObamaCare is a failure would be a big defeat to overcome.
The Republicans simply do not want to be the Bad Guy who took some widow’s healthcare insurance away.
Current rates cost 70% more than our pre-ACA costs. And we lost our doctors, pediatricians, local clinics, local labs, and preferred hospital.
Regulated health care is crap — much like Podhoretz’ purview on the matter.
You can’t unite people who refuse to be united.
Even Moses had to destroy a Golden calf and crack a few heads to get the Hebrews following the right path.
O’care was designed to collapse on itself anyway. Let it and then start repairing... Thanks alot Obama, you moron.
John is wrong. Trump is willing to work with all Rs.
the fact that congress put forth one steaming pile after another has nothing to do with it i guess.
John, the Republicans have been touting the repeal of ACA years before Trump even announced his candidacy to run for President. They own Congress & the White House, so the failure squarely lies on the Republican legislators. Apparently touting a narrative is easy when you know that even when you passed a repeal piece of legislation that it would be vetoed by Obama.
One can’t unite by selling out to kstreet. Unite would equate to selling out we the people.
Anyway, podhoretz jr may have forgotten how the House bill came about, he is just a policy wonk, but I am sure most FReepers remember. PDJT was heavily involved and pushed all the way to get a majority.
It is not President Trump who is responsible for this defeat but the GOP. Seven years without a proper plan to reform the healthcare despite the fact that it has been part of the main platform for every republican running in federal elections. Yikes !
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
This neocon loser again.
Trump is playing softball. The first thing he should have done is remove all the exemptions, including Cingress and their staff.
The solution to the problem is term limits ,..
This was NOT Trump’s failure, but rather the failure of the Congressional Pubbies to make good on the promise that led to their majorities in the Nov elections.
Those majorities are in serious jeopardy for the upcoming mid terms...from both dhimmicraps and conservative fed up with being lied to by self-serving a$$clowns in DC.
I don’t see how you can blame Trump for not uniting a group who wouldn’t unite, even had he pressured them.
