Oh great! Corruption on a grand style at the state level instead of the federal level.

Repeal, do not repair, do not replace.

[bigbob]

State control is always better than federal.

It’s not bad with the states if we can get buying across state lines..it’s not federally run...and the truth is majority citizens won’t accept a clear repeal.

Let the states deal with it..the conservative states will have a better plan and California can just go bankrupt.

Read the headline, then read the first sentence. linda's legislation does not REPEAL nobamacare, it replaces it with something else.

This is going nowhere.

Link to Axios article about this.

Significant excerpt:

Be smart: This is Republicans' last-ditch effort to repeal and replace the ACA before the clock runs out at the end of this month. So there's going to be a lot of chatter over the next few weeks about this, but it is almost certainly not going anywhere. Leadership isn't talking seriously about it, and it's very doubtful it has the 50 votes needed to pass.

'Nuff said.

Yep, it is now given that government gives us healthcare. Repealing the government interventions that have pushed healthcare costs out of control is apparently off the table. Where is insurance sale across state lines?

Where is getting away from the deduction for employer-provided insurance, which politically could only be done in tandem with personal income tax cuts for the middle class—that they are now talking about doing without getting away from federally deducted employer-provided insurance?

The opportunities are there—and they are not taking them — or even getting government out via repeal.

Pretty amazing that the person we elected to NOT play nice with all the scumbags in DC, is certainly warming up to all of them. time will tell, if we were all conned. Although, it looks like we might not have to wait that long.

Why do they keep saying “repeal” in reference to these bills?!? Not even close! Unless they get rid of the “EHB’s”, the individual mandate (not just switch the penalty from the IRS to the insurance co.) and the “age 26 mandate”, etc, etc. it is not a “repeal bill”.

[Eleutheria5]

Movement. Any damn movement. Yay.

“Whereas the ‘Affordable Care Act’ is not affordable,
Whereas the ‘Affordable Care Act’ does not provide care, and
Whereas the ‘Affordable Care Act’ was all an act to allow democrats to seize power over ordinary, decent Americans,
the Affordable Care Act is hereby repealed in its entirety.”

That is what a repeal should say and do.

[trebb]

Puts control in the right place and accomplishes something the other RINOs were never going to do. The more Trump has to work with “fringe assets” the more clear it will be that Ryan and McConnell have to go.

Giving Federal Tax dollars to the states as block grants does nothing to Re-Privatise the health care system.This Obama Care system needs to be killed and medicine should returned to Private control.

[xzins]

At some point, politicians who insist on what they cannot get votes for must be viewed as covertly supporting the status quo.

When does public insistence on purity actually mean secret support for Obamacare?

[Amish with an attitude]

Anything associated with Graham, McConnell, Ryan or McCain... has to have a catch to it.
