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.

Well you reap what you sow...
Specifically no. Although I do think the insurance industry was involved, a lot of folks here and at other conservative outlets said the experts were left out of the process.
Folks should realize that we are watching the Art of the Deal in REAL TIME.
I hope this IS NOT TRUE!!! This bill is BAD, BAD, for Trump!!! Trump WILL LOSE much of his base!!! Phase 3 will not come up until after LYIN RYAN convinces EVERYONE that the ONLY WAY phase 3 will happen is IF he wins in 2018....NO SALE , NO MORE EXCUSES from this LYING RAT !!!
If this part of the RyanCare bill gets voted through, we will NEVER see parts 2 and 3...
If this was such an ‘upstanding bill’ then why wasn’t parts 2 and 3 put into the bill so we know exactly what we are voting on?
We didn’t therefore IMHO we are getting screwed again with ‘you have to pass it to see what’s in it’ !!!
This is REALLY BAD for Americans. Trump has backed it. Trump has betrayed his supporters. The mental gymnastics people are willing to put themselves through rather than admit the obvious are impressive.
The system will not crash and burn
Costs for premiums will become so high and deductibles do large people will demand it be tepealed
You mean Art of Stabbing Americans in the back????
I guess we will see.
Trump owns this monstrosity now.
It just seems like so much unnecessary pain and chaos.
Then why did Trump single our the Freedom Caucus this morning to get this error passed? Why did he call it a great plan this morning in a tweet. What in the world am I missing here.
If they do have the votes, this will be Ryancare and it will take him down.
Trump is not King or Gd. He is only the head of one branch of the government. This is never going to be trumpcare. It was written by the insurance industry and it has Ryan’s fingerprints all over it.
Thanks. As I get more involved in this whole ObamaCare mess and government mess in general, I have pretty much reached the conclusion that our elected Representatives and Senators, their staff, and the Executive Branch bureaucrats are too lazy to analyze a problem and then write legislation to change the situation.
Instead the government politicos rely upon the industry lobbyists to write the legislation for them.
This is happening at all levels of government. Fed, State, Local.
If this bill passes Trump WILL BE a ONE TERM POTUS, LYIN RYAN will have won with his cohorts on K-street!!! One thing WE voted for was NO MORE K-street BIG dollar donors running our nation, this bill will show they have WON AGAIN!!! People will lose TOTAL faith in Trump I am quite AMAZED he doesn’t see this!!! He will see it when his tax cuts to middle America are shrunk to be given to Chamber of Commerce businesses and not so much to middle America, LYIN RYAN will scream the cuts are not deficit neutral BLA, BLA, BLA, of course AFTER GIVING the Dems EVERYTHING in the last budget INCLUDING funding of PP!!!!! THEN will be the border wall fight, once RYAN wins this healthcare law he WILL have proven to his BIG DONORS he is in control MARK MY WORDS!!! I am putting this in God’s hands today he has gotten us this far hopefully he will protect Trump from this LYING BASTARD Ryan!!
HMO's as well as arcane laws related to malpractice and baseless but high awards lawsuits where moron jurors play benevolence with the malpractice insurers money and the insurers play along even gagging doctors whom are sued. Never mind the doctor may have done above and beyond his best. Has even one section of any proposed reform addressed this? On this issue booth the DEMs and GOP Congress are guilty and in the very deep pockets of HMO Lobbyist.
How about locking the HEY MOE lobbyist out for once and inviting the private practice doctors into the debate & discussion and I don't mean the AMA. No one is addressing the real issues because no one wants to loose their favorite corporate sponsors.
There is no other corporation that has more control over laws on a federal, state and local level than insurers. Any laws or codes they want passed they get their way. It would shock many if they sat down and realized this interest controls over 75% of your life via their influences at all levels. Trump should be screaming this as well.
The stupid and greedy supporters of ObamaCare who are getting freebies and who cant see or don't care tha the system will will only change their tune when the freebies stop snd the level of pain gets too big
Sad because a lot of people are going to get hurt, but its the only way
Why the assumption that he doesn't see this? How could such a consummate salesman-politician not be cognizant of all the angles? Certainly disappointing for his voters, but hardly surprising, considering his previsous background and connections. Not the voters' fault. Politicians are swamp dwellers. Our choice was between Trump and Hillary.
Good, I hope you are right
The medical “insurance” industry is not long for this world.
It certainly cannot be the centerpiece of a national health bill.
Pence has been on Hannity pushing this bill. He cannot pretend he wasn’t because he most certainly did.
