Lying SOBs.
Invoking fear is no way to sell legislation.
I thought Cotton was smarter and classier than this.
We now see how the deck is stacked against the common folk of this land... again. Entrenched dishonesty in both parties.
REPEAL Period!
As for Cotton, It belongs in the fields or being spun into clothing if its just figuring this out its useless!
God Bless
That fact that people have to forced to have coverage (or pay a fine) should make it obvious to all that "loss of coverage" is a phony issue.
I wonder if Ryan would use the new plan for his family.
I HATE that guy.
Repeal and do not replace with government tax run Ryan care as it would destroy the GOP and President Trump, tell Ryan to take his filthy hands off our once capitalist health care that worked well with out government bureaucrats adding and charging for their incompetent health care policies and taxes.
No more taxes please and thank you Mr.Cotton.
The Republicans are not worried about re-election. If they lose an election after voting for a Chamber of Congress bill they will be handsomely rewarded with new jobs that pay better than Congress.
Jim, there is no path to repeal short of playing hardball. They can’t get it through the Senate unless they blow up the rules and do away with the filibuster.
Cruz’ idea to bring VP Pence to substitute for the Senate Parliamentarian is the same as blowing up the rules. It won’t be a repeal, it will be a demolition, not a repeal.
The President is going to have to unleash AG Sessions to go after the democrats where they are weak which is in abding by the law.
Right now the democrats are laughing because they know the republicans can’t get a repeal with steering the country to full-blown mob rule democracy.
That’s why prison time has to be held out as a reality that’s coming. Then the democrats won’t be laughing and 60 votes to repeal Obamacare will be a spring tea party.
Too many of them want to continue their racketeering ways.
They actually miss minority status.
Cotton: Obamacare Replacement Will Put the GOP House Majority at Risk
Is this why Ryan is involved ,is it his way to get Trump ?
Repeal or be primaried.
I did not vote for replacement.
They are afraid of doing what they promised because it might cause them to lose the majority - which wouldn’t happen for almost 2 years, and which they’ll lose anyway if they don’t do what they promise.
They could get a whole heck of a lot of the right thing done in the next 18 months if they would just get off of their you-know-what’s and get to work.
Repeal the thing, allow insurance across state lines, bring back the high-risk pools for pre-existing and high risk conditions. Put a 6 month delay on any dropping of insurance by the insurers while they work out the details, but allow the return of the ‘major medical’ and low coverage policies immediately which consumers can choose to change to ASAP.
Most importantly, MAKE CONGRESS FOLLOW THE SAME RULES!!
Love,
O2
Repeal the damned thing!
(Replacement will destroy both the R house AND SENATE majorities for sure. We voted for President Trump and the R ticket to DRAIN THE SWAMP and now they are doing what?
1. keeping Obamacare (under one guise or another),
2. talking with mass-murder terrorist Abbas (SH*T!), and
3. not repealing the federal income tax
4. “compromising” to keep all or most of the IslamoNazi infiltrators and terrorist “immigrants” in America????
for this, we could have elected Hillary. Certainly we could have just stayed home and let her buy her way to the White House, with all of her commie IslamoNazi sympathizers together, and we would have been......not much worse off.
Not much at all.
DJT has the smarts and the ability to DRAIN THE SWAMP he promised he would drain for us. I still hope he will do it, but......
Make all of them have it if it is so good. All in congress and fed -gov. Scotus too. Roberts gets it first. no exempt for unions either.
The Rats were aware of the Humpty Dumpty paradox when they passed this damn thing, and knew the old system has been destroyed, making it impossible to easily repeal and replace it. They know that as much as the right hates it, some people do like Obamacare, but right now they are a minority. THey will do everything they can to make sure whatever the Republicans put forth is hated and despised even more. Many Republicans will be happy to help in doing so. They do not see the failure of Ryan’s bill as the first step toward repeal, they see it as the end of repeal, a defeat for Trump, and the start of hope that they can preserve Obamacare.
If the Republicans jam something through that mucks it up worse and leaves people up in the air about healthcare, it could shift the balance too far the other way and with their media partners, the Democrats will blame every glitch or issue, no matter how minor, on Trump and the Republicans.
I’d like to see a clean repeal, and then some market-based reforms like Rand Paul has proposed. But not at the cost of shifting the balance to where more people hate Ryancare at the time of the 2018 mideterms than who hate Obamacare now.
If the Rats can win control of even one house of Congress in 2018, it’s not going to matter whether it’s called Ryancare or Trumpcare - they will block further changes and do their damndest to put every bit of Obamacare back in place.
To borrow the Buckley Rule, I want the most complete repeal and the most constitutional and conservative replacement that we can get passed through Congress and signed by President Trump by about this time next year. That means they have some time to work out a compromise, but they can’t screw around forever.
The underlying theme seems to be, “We’re not getting rid of Obamacare unless you buy into our (Obamacare 2) replacement plan!” It has a hint of extortion.
The stark appearance of laziness, on behalf of himself, and the RINO coalition of the GOP, makes it clear that he has every intention to use the same mindset on the “new” plan as the democrats did on the original. There’s no evidence of a deep seated desire to give the American people what they want, and voted for.
I find it hard to trust Paul Ryan...he’s got shifty eyes, and a line of silver-tongue BS that rivals the former president. I think he is so steeped in establishment beliefs, that he’ll never change.
My suspicion is, being third-in-line for the presidency, is driving his ambitious, long-term plans, and not health care. Being the “player” that I see him to be, he changed gears way too fast from becoming Candidate Trump’s “distractors”, to posing as his “supporter”, AFTER the election.
Double-crossing the President, and the voters, on promised Obamacare repeal, would change a lot of Trump supporters minds, starting a trend to get rid of the two individuals standing his his way for the high office, namely “Trump”, and “Pence”.
There’s no brilliance in his plan to dazzle us, and remove, and, this Godzilla of a healthcare plan, but doing it in combination is his plan to baffle us with BS...a favorite trick of lawyers and used car salesmen.
I’m in league with the “Congressional Conservative Freedom Coalition”, (and other groups) to repeal Obamacare, THEN, get to work on a replacement plan...or, better still, just get hell out of the insurance business altogether, and hand it back over to the private sector. The transition couldn’t be anymore confusing than the original switch TO Obamacare, FROM the private sector.
Getting mired into the piecemeal “repeal/replace” cabal is a liberal tactic to bog down the process and confuse the public. Ryan, and his minions, sequestered themselves to a private chamber to come up with this monstrosity...the first clue that nothing good for the public would come out of it.
Ryan, and his illusions of grandeur, is designed to promote “Paul Ryan”, and not healthcare. His arms-length polishing of President Trump’s “Apple” is as transparent as Saran Wrap.
Ryan and too many others did not get the message four months so apparently.
The democrats know this and will fight hard to make sure any new system jeopardizes republican majorities
in the House and Senate.
No Chamber of Commerce bills for cheap labor importers. Make another replacement bill if it can’t pass at least you showed that you opposed the status quo and that way you can say I told you so when Obama care fails then come up with a replacement. With reapportionment after the next 2 cycles don’t do anything that would jeopardize the house or Senate majority and especially not the down ballot races needed for then.
