The EXEMPT believe they can lie whenever they want,
and about this malicious attempt to make the
gov’t control healthcare:
Pres. Trump and Ryan are LIARS.
They ran on REPEAL, and kept THEMSELVES EXEMPT
and made ObamaCARE ===> TrumpCARE.
FOOLS and traitors, all.
Conservatives ?
Check your premises: They are not Conservatives.
“Does any Republican propose returning to a time when you can be denied health insurance because of a pre-existing condition?”
Krauthammer and George Will both live in Washington, DC. They live in a bubble. That statement gives you a clue as to how they think.
No one has ever denied insurance to people with pre-existing conditions. What these people did previously, was pay for it by being placed in a high risk pool. The same way bad auto drivers are now. That’s what we had before and need to have again.
Krauthammer and Will are both democrat hacks pretending to be conservatives. They should be handed over to ISIS and beheaded. Televise it for the world to see.
conservatives are a small minority in congress. they are a minority in the republican side of congress. their options are
1) Keep congress from doing anything (unless Ryan/Trump work with Ds)
2) Negotiate for as much as they can get from the majority Rs and let the Rs “repeal and replace” as Rs promised for 3 elections even if the replacement isn’t very good.
As a rule, I’m for congress NOT getting anything done. But in this case I’m for negotiating hard and hopefully getting commitments for more power in the tax reform bill. I don’t know anyway to trust Ryan/McConnell to honor those commitments though.
Krauthammer and Will conservative? It is to laugh.
PS: Blog pimping is so unattractive.
Yoohoo, Charlie. I do.

Because they understand that the perfect is the enemy of the good.
I am so pissed off at Trump right now on this issue. Part of draining the swamp is making lawmakers subject to the laws they pass. What’s good for the goose must be good for the gander. Ryancare still exempts our rulers/betters while cramming this crap down our throats. REPEAL ONLY.
It is still legal for lawmakers to benefit from insider trading; that is a disgrace as well!
“Charles Krauthammer declared that ‘For all its catastrophic flaws, ObamaCare changed expectations. Does any Republican propose returning to a time when you can be denied health insurance because of a pre-existing condition?’”
Isn’t this the way it always is? The leftists, when in power, institute some new “entitlement” program and the Repulsicans put up a half-hearted battle against it. Then, when the Repulsicans come to power, they make some window-dressing changes and say they can’t do more because people don’t want to have their “benefits” taken away.
So we have no rollback of socialism, no gain in individual freedom, “entitlement” spending is about 60% of the federal budge, and we’re about $20 trillion in debt.
They are NOT!
Wait and see what is voted on and who supports it.
Then, wait again to see what the Senate changes.
Then, wait again to see what comes out of House/Senate negotiations.
Then, wait again to see what Tom Price changes in the regulations.
If they simply drafted a bill that even you considered perfect, it would DIE on the vine.
Want to make sure that they do the right thing? Make sure that Congress is NOT exempt from the law.
I know, wishful thinking. But wouldn’t that make a great 14th Amendment equal protection suit?
Conservatives? Did I miss ‘em?
Still haven’t heard anyone pipe-up about Constitutional authority. Power to *tax* sure, but still nothing from the WHY or WHERE part of the discussion.
General welfare is a clause, it doesn’t negate A1S8, the 1st\5th\9th\10th a/o 13th.
