Gabriel Sherman writes that White House chief strategist and former Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon (or, for those concerned with SEO, Steve Bannon) has privately expressed concern that the American Health Care Act (AHCA) betrays the populist voters who put Donald Trump in the White House.

Ping...
President Trump supported Paul Ryan and Ryan stabbed us in the back...I hope this bill does not pass...
According to a source close to the White House,
How does anyone know this? Is the WH still being electronically snooped upon?
Why would Bannon lead Trump down the wrong path?
It is always either this, saying “unnamed source.....anonymity....blah, blah” or it is naming some effing reporter, pundit - whoever from whatever paper, channel or rock they’ve crawled out from.
Never just ‘names’ of administration officials who are ‘on the record.’
Like I said yesterday. Ryan and his special interests groups have been writing garbage like this all along over catered meals. If you understand nobody in congress writes any bill you will understand the corrupt products of legislation.
That does it for me. Scrap the Insurance Industry driven Ryan bill.
Team Bannon
ANY bill that repeals O-care isn’t “ wrong path.” But as Bannon knows is only just a start.
Even the Constitution was amended over 25 times, 10 times before it was ratified.
Ryan is the definition of unfit for office. He needs to be fired as speaker today.

Ann Coulter: How to Provide Universal Health Care Using This One Easy Trick
The first sentence of Congress’ Obamacare repeal should read: “There shall be a free market in health insurance.”
Right there, I’ve solved the health insurance crisis for 90 percent of Americans. Unfortunately, no one can imagine what a free market in health care looks like because we haven’t had one for nearly a century.
I don’t believe anyone led President Trump down any path, President Trump let Ryan do what Ryan did, and knew what would happen, well it happened, that’s why yesterday President Trump said, if it doesn’t pass, it stays at Obamacare and he is moving on...
He wanted to show the American People that Ryan wasn’t for America, he is for his Koch Brothers and other handlers, this bill has NO way of passing and President Trump knows it...
He let Ryan do what Ryan does best, he went along with it to show what Ryan is, this is the collar that Ryan will wear and Ryan will lose his speaker ship...what is exactly should happen...
I heard Trump say that doing nothing was also an option. Doing nothing means it completely crashes and burns all by itself.
Author seems like a real self-serving snake:
In his September 19, 2016, “Agendas” column for the New York Observer conservative journalist Evan Gahr accused Sherman of a conflict of interest for writing about Fox News while negotiating with a job with chief competitor MSNBC and also not reporting purging allegations against MSNBC president Phil Griffin
More and more it seems to me that letting RyanCare go down in flames is the best outcome here. If it passes and costs continue to skyrocket—and they will because the bill does little to drive costs down—it will be all Trump’s fault. The result will be electoral disaster in 2018 and 2020.
The entire healthcare industry is pretty much a Federally funded boondoggle, a franchise, for the insurance companies. In turn, these companies have some connection to large pensions and pools of bond-type investments. The amounts of money involved are simply gargantuan. They are not going to give up the position they have in this easily if at all. This, the position the HC insurance industry occupies, is certainly among the top 5 elements in the whole US economy. As long as it is so, there’s enormous impetus for this segment of the economy to stay where it is. That pretty much means that there shall be no particularly noticeable cost reductions in healthcare insurance. This, the industry figures, the idea that they can pay a hospital bill @ 10% of what is billed, is a fantastic arbitrage position that yields billions for the ins cos. Any inkling that they will give this up is naive.
Has anyone found out who inserted the part in the law about Vets being forced into the VA system?
I would like to know what was responsible for that!
I think he’s right... just like they’ve been writing much of ‘health care’ in our country for years. Real reform would required tearing up 99% of the laws on heath care and taking out a clean white sheet of paper and starting over.
The medical care system is a scam... from doctors, to hospitals to insurance companies.
This RyanCare bill needs to be voted down...it has information that allows the government to interfere with gun rights, it raises the costs in the long run...
I have sat back and watched, I have read what has been available...and Ryan wrote this for the sake of government NOT the people of America...
Let it die, and let Obamacare die, then let President Trump go back in and make the bill that he promised us, the reason we voted for him, he hasn’t let us down yet, I don’t think he is going to start now...
