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.
Is this a letter you actually sent him?
Thank you for your voice of reason!
THANK YOU LAZ!!!!!!!
Whether it’s known as Obamacare, Ryancare, RYNOcare or RINOcare it’s Commiecare and crappycare and unconstitutional.
The most important thing, is to always hold the line. We can see what happened when the 'right' didn't hold Bush in line or accountable.
Preach on brother Robinson!
Thx Miss G.
In reading some of the responses here I am heart sick!
Donald Trump has walked through fire to be our President.
He has already accomplished much.
He’s working 24/7
Where is the confidence from you all that he will do exactly what he said?
Some of your comments remind me of the Israelites after Moses led them away from tyranny and Egypt
God provided all their needs, and still they complained
....still they doubted Him
C’mon people.....don’t go wobbly for mercy sakes!
Don’t pass anything...just exempt all US citizens from its requirements.
Let it just sit there.
Let insurance be sold outside the exchanges and let them make and sell any sort of health insurance they like across state lines.
High-cost low-deductible complete care
Low-Cost high deducible catastrophic care
Since the dems screwed all the folks with pre-existing conditions something will have to be done for them. Probably cheaper to expand medicare to cover them.
Make malpractice claims above a set amount require the entire civil jury to vote to approve the claim...just like in a criminal trial.
If you are young and healthy and don’t want to buy insurance then if you get sick a judgement in the amount that is spent on you will be assessed and cannot be removed by bankruptcy. This would get many to at least buy a cheap catastrophic policy.
will destroy your credibility and your presidency
I don’t think so
Well said.
One thing people are missing is that the Trump admin is doing what it can to kill the individual mandate adminisitratively through waivers. Without people participating in this shell game it dies. The only folks who will buy insurance under this scheme are the sick.
I’m fine with pelosicare staying in place. Unobeyed,irrelevant, universally hated.
> People have worked hard & paid into this their whole lives. This is their money.
I’m afraid you have no idea how the system actually works.
It’s all funded by the young with the (false, empty) promise that these Ponzi like pension systems will be there for them when their day comes.
Anything anyone “paid in” was spent many times over, long ago. The only thing between the system and immediate insolvency is a torrential downpour of debt.
Worth repeating. "The crap about 60 votes is crap indeed."
You have a good point.
However, I am not as smart as President Trump, nor do I have his instincts.
I have to trust him.
Besides, the RynoCare plan has been public, what, 3 or 4 days? It's a little early no matter what else.
here here!
Even liberal coworkers of mine hate Obamacare, and they hate Ryancare too.
They might not like Trump’s personality, but they liked his policy proposals, till now.
You don't "pay into" Medicare. It's a straight wealth transfer.
His dealmaking method involves flying a lot of possibilities. This doesn’t mean any particular one is going to get chosen.
However. In the end analysis, Donald is centrist. He might come up with a Trumpcare. This doesn’t mean that Trumpcare couldn’t evolve in a more and more free direction. The problem with our current system is that it is so badly socialistic that hardly anyone would even know what to do with anything else. To unwrap this Lazarus by stages may be the only sane thing to do. It has to be usable by the people, not just theoretically acceptable to political junkies.
