Sorry, it’s not nonsense. The rules are the rules, whether we like them or not.

This year’s action is in 3 steps:
1) Do the actions they can do via budget reconciliation which they can do w/ the 52 Repub senators they have.
2) Next is the thousands of ACA related rules that can be amended “as the Secretary of HHS shall decide.”
3) Finally, change things like allowing to buy insurance across state lines, amend some medicaid rules and other things I can’t think of. This portion will require 60 votes in the Senate.
Now all of a sudden CTH is concerned about rules, Senate deliberations, Paul Ryan and process when Harry Reid completely destroyed those very rules to get Obamacare passed.
I say simply put a complete repeal up for a vote...and if Dems and RINOs vote against it, so be it....and then have Trump and HHS nuke all the exemptions and force everyone and their Momma go on Obamacare.
I read the article, you quoting it doesn’t change my opinion of it.
Romney was going to EXEMPT all Americans via 1 executive order. This can be done! Do it! There were hundreds of companies and liberal groups exempted by Obama. Just do it!!
Stop right their. We are being bleeping played again.
* 1st it was give us the House, we can't do anything.
* Then it was give us the Senate we can't do anything.
* Then give 1600 Ave, we can't do anything....
Now you want 60 in the Senate for real Reform? So it this a ploy to get us to donate more in 18' so you can have total control?...
Seriously Paul and Mitch? take a hike...
And when they do it that way......the Republicans lose the house and the senate in the future and the Dems amend it anyway the Secretary shall decide. It’ll be a never ending piece of crap.
Oops meant lose the Presidency. And the newly appoint Secretary shall decide.
