Just lurching from one shipwreck to another....

Getting your health needs paid for by somebody else is NOT a legitimate form of entitlement. Everybody, at some level or another, is ultimately responsible for their OWN state of health, whether by their personal actions, or if they place reliance in another to look after their basic needs.

In the hierarchy of needs, having a cell phone ranks WAY above looking after your own basic physiological state of well-being. Or so it would seem.

Goddam snowflakes.

If you take a turd from your left hand and put it the right hand you still have a turd and and then your nose starts to itch.

I only hope President Trump will reread the bill and see that it does not repeal Obamacare. We voters said REPEAL OBAMACARE. That means now and totally. I am not sure all the crap King Obama put on the bill during it's life, and quite maybe it will take a bill to reverse it. That is my only unanswered question, will repeal the bill catch all the shi! tacked on over the years.

I would not have written this bill this way. However,the president has called it phase 1 of 3 phases. I voted for him so I’m going to go along for a while.

Why?

I just watched him do a Br’er Rabbit and totally undo his Russia collusion opponents. They are rushing to disclaim all their past claims. He truly does play chess while they play checkers.

So, what I see is planned stages of negotiations. He gets them on board for stage 1, gets it passed, and then out of the blue he knows something will happen to force stage 2.

I’d urge support for him. I don’t know what’s up his sleeve, but to date he’s proven that something is.

This is a phony bill. the plan is to not pass anything else for the next 2-3 years.

I hope it gets defeated.

Repeal means repeal, not modify and keep.

Anyone who votes for this bill needs to be defeated.


Yep. Designed to fail so they don’t have to do anything. Exactly like the fake repeal votes during the years the kenyan occupied the White Hut.

A bait & switch con, ‘And’ logic, that turns good into bad, by Republican sneeks.

Subtract bad. (GOOD)
Subtract bad AND Add bad! (BAD)

Repeal the bad. (GOOD)
Repeal the bad AND Replace with bad! (BAD)

Remove the wart. (GOOD)
Remove the wart AND Replace with ugly scars! (BAD)

Remove your tumor. (GOOD)

Repeal awful ObamaCare. (GOOD)

This is all machination for Single Payer. That is the only thing the Republicans will allow in the long run. How do we expect anything from Congress that is populated by officially two Socialist Parties? The Republic is over. We have to now make sure that the Dictator is powerful and from our own tribe.

Well it’s cute to hear the “I have a letterhead and a website so I’m important” brigade yell and pitch a fit, but this is the time where they need to show that they have some real pull and start a real lobbying effort.
I dont want to hear a bunch of NeverTrump BS, because those people have no credibility, and have been sitting on their butts since before the election

They need to show that they can influence legislation in the congress so we can get what we really want out of there.

“Stand up to Trump”? Pffffffffft! These clowns couldn’t stand up to anything the past 8 years, so they can spare us the tough guy virtue signalling act and try to help stand up to Ryan and the GOPe, whom they seemed to have no ability to do anything about the past 8 years.

“The Republic is over. We have to now make sure that the Dictator is powerful and from our own tribe.”

Well let it be known that the dramatic kooks are not limited to the left side of the aisle...

Exactly. I get tired of being told trust in the force.
Trump wanted us to be engaged so I think its fair to say what we think.
Show me how this is good because to me its a whole lot of BIG Government waiting to go wrong.

Sign up on Twitter - you don’t have to post, you can simply lurk. The President continually updates. He’s promising to erase state borders on health insurance which will certainly increase competition and may lower prices.

Remember.. this is Hotair, the NeverTrump RINO crowd, along with National Review and Conservative Review and Red State.

Of course they and this writer were in the tank for Croooze and when Trump handed them their heads, they support the next biggest pain in the azz— Paul Ryan- who thwarts all thing s Trump.

This plan is Paul Ryan’s plan. Hotair loves it, but the conservatives hated it and told him so. Ryan put the damn thing up anyway.

Now HotAir warns to abandon ship, Doomsday will come.

Pass a law to require all the thieving hospital administrators and quacks to publish the cost of all medical procedures down to the penny.

Healthcare is the only profession where the doctors and hospitals expect you to sign a blank check, hand it to them and they’ll fill in the amount later.

That’s certainly not free enterprise; it’s piracy.

This is a case where economic reality is clashing with political feasibility, and they all need to work something out behind closed doors instead of carrying on a dispute in public.

It's too late to remain silent. Ryan has proposed and Trump has accepted. It is time to speak up. Trump only backtracked today because of the strong reaction from we conservatives. Keep it up. Speak now or forever hold our peace.

I’m waiting for more info. I don’t trust Paul Ryan. I do trust President Trump to do what’s right. And I sure as h*ll don’t trust Never Trumpers.
