Nothing he proposed was going to pass the current House anyway.

Once again we are letting the Leftists frame the argument. I don’t want to talk about how to “replace’ Obamacare, I want to start what is going to be a long process of getting the Federal Government the hell out of the health care business. That is the only fix that will ever work.

It is not the government’s job to provide us with healthcare “plans”!

Get the government out and the free market (with some antitrust controls) will finally be able to give us the best possible for the least.

I don’t think people will fall for it a second time. He already ran on fixing healthcare with a GOP House and Senate — and came up (largely) empty.

Unlike the Dumbocrats who waste time on legislation that has no chance of passing.

Would be nice if they at least championed healthcare options outside of O-Cares web. Kinda like how home-school and private school are options away from public education. Although we all still pay the tab, some can avoid the results.

Why not? A healthcare overhaul needs time to be developed decently. And, there’s no way any Trump-promoted plan would ever get through Pelosi’s House, anyway.

Closing the Border according to Kushner was just a pressure tactic to get Congress to change the immigration laws,so much for shutting the Border down,all The squish advisors President Trump is listening to are not giving him good advice.
Making statements and then backing off,recipe for losing

This is called "punting on the issue."

ObamaCare is now officially a "third rail" in politics, and nobody wants to come up with a plan to fix it because health care as we know it CANNOT be fixed.

Nobody believes the GOP has any intention of fixing this after 2020. They already had their chance in 2017 and 2018, and we saw what a farce that was. They've been lying about repealing ObamaCare for almost ten years.

He said a vote on it would be taken after the election, “when Republicans hold the Senate & win back the House.”

...

If the NYTimes were honest the headline and article would be about the obstructionist Democrats.

The insurance, pharmaceutical and health industry lobbists are giving all of the marching orders, apparently.
The entire congress is exempt from this.. or has everyone forgotten. I hear a lot of anti socialism rhetoric, but this should be made clear to American citizens: congress exempts themserlves from healthcare and insider trading.. why?
But no, once again, even after justice Roberts has been exposed, the GOPe is still pursuing more socialist programs.
Its like the border rhetoric.
In truth, the GOP held all 3 branches and did nothing, except force the prez into executive orders. I didnt like executive orders under obama, and dont like them now.

#1 issue for Democrat voters? Healthcare. #1 issue for Republican voters? Immigration. Result? The Democrats want to talk about healthcare, and the Republicans want to talk about ....... healthcare. Republican voters have no representation. The Mueller Report is a nothing. Back to The Wall.

You can’t have it both ways: Trump solved it *and* he’s going to run for a second time in 2020 to solve it with a GOP House and Senate.
