Dear Mr. President:
Do NOT under any circumstances endorse or sign RYANcare. RYANcare will immediately become TRUMPcare and that will destroy your credibility and your presidency.
Ryan and the globalist big government GOPe hates you and what you ran on just as much as the democrats and the media. The day you sign TRUMPcare, you own it and they own you. You will be the GOPe's prison bitch. You will also lose your support base and then your tax plan and other trade and economic plans go up in smoke.
Do not settle for anything less than full and complete repeal. If you can't get that from congress, then veto whatever they send up (rinse and repeat as necessary) and if they fail eventually to send up a clean repeal bill then sign nothing and let Obamacare implode on its own.
The crap about 60 votes is crap indeed. They control the senate and the rules. No excuses! This is totally in Republican hands.
If they override your veto, then they own the disaster that follows and you will still have your credibility and your support base. And we are prepared to fight these evil socialist bastards until hell freezes over if necessary.
What happens to the millions of poor people if they lose their health insurance? Well, how did they manage to get health care before Obama? What happened to the millions of people who lost their health care when Obamacare was installed? What happened to the millions who lost their jobs due to Obamacare? What's happening to our economy and our national debt as a result of socialist programs? What happens to our people when the government finally goes bust?
Look, the media, the democrats, the GOPe, the globalists, the corporatists, the crony capitalists, the socialists, the illegals, the Mohammedists, etc, are all going to hate you no matter what you do. Do not under any circumstances blink, retreat or cave-in to their socialist demands. That would be the end of your moral authority and the resulting continuation of unchecked big government will lead to the ultimate collapse of our economy.
Worst case, if the current socialist government/crony capitalist corporate healthcare insurance industry implodes, we will still survive as a free nation and free people. We have faith in God, our constitution, our free markets and our ability to overcome major obstacles. We shall overcome and persevere.
If we slay the federal behemoth and get back to free markets, we will find that government costs will come down, the economy will soar, healthcare costs will come down, federal tax rates can come down, and as more companies are profiting and more people are working, federal and state tax receipts will actually increase. And truly destitute people who cannot provide for themselves can be supported by local and state programs as intended.
Hold the line. America will love you for it in the long run.
Thanks for posting that.
I truly believe that the main problem is that both patients and doctors are spending other peoples money and there’s little incentive to do anything other than “give me the works” anytime medical care is needed.
Luxurious new hospitals are popping up like herpes at an Occupy Wall Street camp in my area of Florida. Somebody is clearly making good money off the current health care system.
Not sure I agree. Ryancare repeals the Obamacare taxes. In a choice between both, Ryancare is better. Not signing it means choosing Obamacare.
A partial repeal is better than no repeal. The rest can still be repealed later. But if nothing is done, republicans might lose the house next year and Pelosi will be back as speaker. Then you can say bye bye to the wall, to immigration enforcement, to lower taxes, etc.
My sister’s mailman delivered her mail once at 1am in the MORNING!!!! Los Angeles!! They have gone mad!
Trump hasn’t signed anything.
If conservatives House Members are appalled at this bill, vote Ryan
out as Speaker and start fresh.
Otherwise they should keep their mouth shut and quit pounding their chest.
After all , conservatives helped Ryan as Speaker.

Nope. If people get offered near useless high premium and high deductible Trumpcare plans for 2018 the GOP will own Obamacare lock, stock and barrel. It seems they want that as a means to weaken President Trump and steal the beltway agenda.

AS if Amnesty Ryan has President Trump’s best interests at heart. I’ll buy you a clue: he does not.
Maybe we can stimulate the economy by buying pitchforks and torches to march on Washington.
Amen! I hope he sees this.
I hope so, too. Is anyone here on twitter? Send a url of Jim’s post to Dan Scavino and others and get this post circulating!

Trump did not write the bill.
Trump did not elect Ryan as Speaker.
The same ones who complain now are the same ones
that voted for Ryan as Speaker.
Don’t like the bill? Elect a new Speaker and start fresh.
That’s my advice to a lot of folks here.
“If people get offered near useless high premium and high deductible Trumpcare plans for 2018”
That is part of the Ryan repeal. You have it backwards. People will be offered those plans if nothing gets done.
And people won’t give a rat’s ass if the plan is called Ryancare, Obamacare or Trumpcare. They will blame whoever is in power.
Some people are never happy.
There are 52 senators more than three already said they can’t accept repeal and no replace because they live in moderate districts so get over yourselves this is the best you can get right now with health care
I totally agree and I recommend all send this message to their respective Representative and Senators.
Attention everyone the time for a clean repeal without a replace was in 2012 and guess what Obama won only 20%want repeal with no replace
Everybody is whacking.
This is not the end of it. The structure of this bill defunds Obamacare. It does not repeal it. Because it is only fiscal in nature, it can be blown through with Republican votes only, as a "reconciliation bill".
The RATs can't fillibuster it.
President Trump is working it hard.
If it is successful, all kinds of other repeal and deregulation bills will follow, including; massive "Health Savings Account"..."Association Health Plan" and "Interstate competition" proposals.
It is what it is.....a carefully revised and parsed DEFUNDING bill.
What makes you think you have 60 votes (or even 51) for RINOcare, ie, Obamacare-lite?
Mega Dittos!!!
Ryan and the GOP have had 7 years to come up with a plan.
If conservatives are angry, they only have themselves to blame
as they voted for Ryan as Speaker.
If they don’t like the current bill, my suggestion is to get rid of Ryan
and start fresh.
I agree with you mMy company insurance was excellent. It was stopped when Obama care went into a effect. We paid into both and deserve at least one of them. I recently recovered from 4th stage breast ccancer and I would not be able to pay that bill. More than likely I would have refused the treatment rather than go bankrupt. I could go for a grandfather clause for both medicare and social security if more private plans were available for the uncovered citizens.
Amen, brother!
Principles!
