Last year, Rand Paul was one of the wise guys predicting that Trump was imploding every other week.
The repeal will pass.
Probably, but should it?
This sounds like a bill that never should have been drafted in the first place. Moderates and conservatives hate it for two different reasons:
1. Conservatives hate it because it keeps 95% of Obamacare intact.
2. Moderates hate it because they know it isn't going to reduce insurance premiums at all -- which means they're going to lose their seats in 2018 if it passes.
The GOP needs to pass a bill that meets ONE important condition: It has to save people money, or this is all just a waste of time and a political disaster in the making.
BS. You have a citation?
But he was one of the few candidates that actually honored his pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee.
It may well pass with Democrat votes.
Republicans will then own the disasterpiece formerly known as Obamacare. No true conservative or free market fixes will ever pass. Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Why do you call it a repeal? It removes funding sources for a collapsing system and renames some things. How is that any sort of repeal? If this is a “repeal” then the ACA is truly “affordable” and should be allowed to stand as is.
Prove it. I only recall Ryan doing that crap, and now we know he said he was "done defending Trump" in October 2016.
A repeal would pass, but Ryan's bill ain't a repeal. It's not even a close call.
