Jim, what's your opinion regarding the House Freedom Caucus? They've supposedly been getting improvements in the legislation—to the point that some RINOs are now starting to complain.

If the bill is improved to the point that the Freedom Caucus is on board, won't that imply that the legislation is somewhat more acceptable.

After all, without the support of the historically steadfast House Freedom Caucus, as well as stalwarts in the Senate like Ted Cruz, Ron Paul, and maybe one or two others, this bill will not pass.

So I'm asking you that if the HFC ends up voting "aye", will you take that at a positive sign? Or will you instead conclude that they sold us down the river, along with the President and the rest of the Legislature?

Just wondering what kind of developments might indicate that the bill has indeed undergone sufficiently positive change.

I mean, let's be realistic here: are the "hyper-purists" ever going to get what they want out of this process?

I just don't know what to expect, at this point, if the Freedom Caucus and Senators like Cruz and Paul get on board...

Federal mandates dictating who and what must be covered, pre-existing conditions, adult children, etc, and subsidies or refundable tax credits are unconstitutional and unsustainable. The changes they’re making may make it safer in the short-term (reelection-wise) for Republicans to vote for it, but in the long-run will continue driving up costs and will eventually bankrupt the insurance industry and or the government (taxpayers)...and the GOP will own the TRUMPcare disaster that follows.

I urge them to vote no on RINOcare. Repeal obamacare with a two year transition period even if they have to change the senate rules to do so and get the feds completely out of the private health care insurance business.

If they can’t repeal it, then they’d best be working to mitigate the disaster as Obamacare and the insurance industry collapses.

The strong and self-reliant will survive. Really sucks when the idiot socialist democrats try to destroy freedom and free markets. It’s not like they weren’t warned. But, of course, this kind of disaster doesn’t bother the democrats a bit when their ultimate goal is to destroy the economy, destroy capitalism, destroy America and make the world ready for global socialism.
