RYAN WARNS: IF WE DON’T PASS MY BILL, ‘THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO COLLAPSE’
Grabien ^ | 03/12/17

Csting his ObamaCare replacement bill as the only chance to save America from a complete health-care collapse, Speaker Paul Ryan Sunday countered his conservative critics who say the bill fails to make good on Republicans' promise to repeal ObamaCare.

"Understand the speaker’s plan doesn’t repeal ObamaCare," a member of the House Republicans' Freedom Caucus, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), said Sunday. "Even Charles Krauthammer said that, called it ObamaCare Lite, as you said earlier. It doesn’t bring down premiums and it doesn’t unite Republicans. So, why not do what we all voted for just 15 months ago, clean repeal, and then get focused and build some momentum to actually replace ObamaCare with something that’s going to bring down costs?"

Ryan said his bill, called the American Health Care Act, is in fact the only way to successfully repeal ObamaCare.

"Look, when you are a governing party getting consensus among your wide, big-tent party, not — everybody doesn’t get what they want, but we are getting much better policy here," the Speaker of the House said of his conservative critics. "Let me put it this way: Obamacare is collapsing. If we just did nothing, washed our hands of the situation, we would see a further collapse of the health insurance markets. So we feel an obligation to step in front of that collapse and replace this law with one that works, that has more freedom."

If we don’t, we own Obamacare.

_____________________________________________

One of the scenarios I see playing out here as a real possibility is a stalemate.

Ryan and Trump get all three phases of ObamaCare 2.0 together and votes are taken. Reconciliation votes are taken and in the end - it doesn’t pass.

The Dems and renegade Repubs can’t get it passed and we are stuck with ObamaCare. But “we” don’t own it. Them damn democrats do.

But the good news for all is that it is gutted. Funding has been removed and enforcement has been removed and this 20,000 plus page POS Bill is DOA.

I could live with that.

I agree.. Ryan’s bill simply transfers ownership of the mess.

Vote the bill down. Call for a vote of no confidence in Ryan. Repeal and replace Ryan.

We’re heard it all before.

No credibility. If there’s a serious question out there, the answer can’t be “Paul Ryan’s plan.”

Yes it does. But....

When this mess is all said and done and votes are taken and it still doesn't pass, then we can blame the democrats for it.

"Hey, we tried."

And that is what I believe President Trump is thinking right now. For the love of God - he MUST know the Ryan Bill sucks. He MUST know Ryan is and was out to get him. He MUST know this bill - if passed - would doom his presidency as it doomed Obama's.

So as Trump is playing 3D chess as the rest of the morons are playing checkers - will we not see a stalemate on ObamaCare 2.0? This I think is President Trump's endgame here.

Does that mean that the original ObamaCare bill stays on? By no means. It gets gutted. Defunded and unenforced. It gets so blown up so bad that a vote to repeal is not even necessary.

And by this time next year we are left with NO replacement and a smoldering pile of worthless dog crap that was known as ObamaCare.

I don’t understand why some people have such hard time looking something? It’s VERY simple. This is not rocket science.....

Have you heard of Google? Just put in a few words or phrases you are looking for an hit “return” key. You may have to change your words around, but it will come right up. There are other search links called Yahoo, Dog PILE, BING, etc... You can use to turn up more results.

There are many. Probably thousands when one googles it.

 President [Ø]bama may not call the individual mandate a “tax”—but John Roberts does.

Ryan’s lips are moving, but his graft payments are talking.

Ryan is a lying elitist. Trump needs to distance himself far from this madman.

Good let it collapse then. Health care is for people, not insurance corporations.
