No cross-state competition. That was a problem *before* ObamaCare! Cadillac tax is suspended temporarily, to come back in a few years? WTF is this a total joke?

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

Agreed. I don't see a reason to panic.

Yet.

This thing is not Repeal & Replace, it's Deceit and Duplicity!

It took six years to come up with this.

In 2009 Paul Ryan said of the ACA that it MUST be scored by the CBO before mark up in order to know what it would cost, two days before markup it was scored.

Tomorrow RYNOCARE goes to Mark Up without being scored by the CBO.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148) is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.

Here’s the other thing — They tell us that DHS Secretary Tom Price already has a healthcare plan written.

Where is it? Let’s have a look at that.

I'm not saying we should be silent ... just that it does no good to have Trump and the GOP Congress engaging in a public battle over this.

Let's leave all political principles and partisan politics aside. What made ObamaCare such a laughable joke was that it didn't even accomplish what the people who passed it said it would accomplish ... and it's been falling apart just like everyone who opposed it said it would.

The Republicans in Congress -- and President Trump, if he is complicit as well -- will come off looking like stupid, tone-deaf morons if they pass an "ObamaCare repeal/fix" law that doesn't even fix what's wrong with ObamaCare at all.

What I posted in 48 is taken from Price’s plan.

Ryan - good Republican that he is - couldn’t abide by that. Ryan’s mission is to fulfill the Democrat agenda, just like Republicans have for 100 years.

How could the lack of cross-state competition be a problem, when the insurance industry has operated that way since the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Paul v. Virginia -- in 1869?

“Yes it is and it got worse after ObamaCare went into effect.”

I don’t doubt you. I pay ca$h for medical care and couldn’t believe what these dirtbag quacks charged me. The price was 300 to 400% more than insured patients paid. I tried to sue these SOBs, and every attorney wanted a minimum $5,000-$10,000 up front to file the suit.

I found that the dirtbag hospital administrators and shyster lawyers in the community had a nice system of illegal collusion, protected by both the state and federal politicians and bureacrat fascists.

It’s all part of the “deep state” that Trump is trying to clean out. What a system, no?

“It’s a price fixing cartel.”

Cartel is the right word. Thank you, Ray76. And President Trump and his army needs to crush that cartel.

If “Allahpundit”is a SECRET then why are we giving any credibility regarding it’s “writings”?

I believe Trump will keep his promise to REPEAL and REPLACE!

I also believe the day will come when vassal McConnell will YIELD to Alpha Male Trump.

RE: I believe Trump will keep his promise to REPEAL and REPLACE!

I also believe he will do it. Heck, I’ve always believed that the GOP Congress will repeal and replaces Obamacare.

The only question is will the “REPLACE” part satisfy conservatives and meet the goals of :

1) Making healthcare affordable

2) Not lead the country to more debt and on the road to bankruptcy.

3) Minimize the role of government in the process.
