Better than that Veteran bashing bill Ryan wanted.
Why was this not done in January?
Because the GOP
1) hates Pres. Trump
2) hates Americans
3) loves RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE from which THEY are EXEMPT.
I’ll applaud him when his plan passes.
What a joke. Has any bill Rand Paul introducEd ever gone anywhere?
Well, well, well,...
What will be the excuses this time? This is ready-made legislation that once had the GOP stamp of approval. And far better than what was shot down yesterday.
Have it on the President’s desk by lunchtime on Monday.
Well I hope the purists are right. We are going to see.
The problem with buying insurance across state lines is the states themselves. Any insurance company dealing with the citizens of a state has to abide with the insurance regulations of that state. By the time these insurance companies comply with the state’s insurance regulations, they just about operate just like the other insurance companies working in that state. There is very little difference and, after the cost of the regulations is passed on to the rate payers, there is little that can be done to lower costs in my humble opinion.
Another grandstander and fraud who played his role. The check from the Koch Bros is on way, an ‘A’ grade from Con Job Review, and an atta boy from the Mark Levin as well... yada yada... Meanwhile nothing gets done and we’re stuck with Obamacare forever. The RINOs - Chamber Of Commerce weaseals will then play their role during the Immigration/Wall debate, then back to the Freedom Small Fries caucus to wail during the infrastructure debate. Rinse repeat.
Boehner says a full Obamacare repeal and replace is ‘not going to happen’
Boehner and other former member of Congress were hired and paid big bucks to author this piece of crap, because the insurance industry did not want to lose billions in "subsides."
Boehner joins DC lobbying firm
Democrats passed their Plan C with exactly 60 Senate votes and charges of racism for not passing the First Black President’s Signature Legislation.
Republicans have a weak 52 votes, and you will need a minimum of 60 Republican senators for this since since asking for help from Democrats to roll back government healthcare is like getting ISIS to abandon their religion.
There were a limited number of things that could get through the Senate with 51 votes. That’s why this was “Obamacare Light”.
Maybe the better plan is just to have our ideal plan stall out in the Senate, ask voters for more Republicans and/or wait for the situation with Obamacare to become untenable such that some Democrats actually worry about the political cost of obstruction. If that’s the case, then they should say and do that.
Paul and Freedom Caucus ought to at least be up front with the reality that we face since misleading people about the level of difficulty involved is incredibly counterproductive.
Their names are a matter of public record. We need to mob them with the question, "If yea then, why not yea now?"
It is NOT a good thing that the idiots in Congress coukdn’t come together, repeal Obamacare and replace it with a boll like this one.
Paul Ryan needs to go and so do most of his colleagues.
Sevendors damn years and NOTHING.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Phase One is dead but Phase Two is STILL OPERATIVE.
Phase Two consists of the Secretary of HHS using the plain language of the bill to make changes. In fact, the Secretary has a LOT of power in this area.
The changes made by Sibelius right after passage of the bill can all be rolled back. In fact, and I hate to suggest this, but the Secretary COULD actually SABOTAGE the bill if they so chose.
So will Freedom Caucus write a Bill? Can we combine the 3 steps into one? Will that be OK with dopey Senate rules? If not change the rules. Looks like rules will need to get nuked for Supreme Court.
I want to see something get done as my rates go up, my deductible goes up and my kids work 2-3 part time jobs as that is all they can get. The ride on my policy for now, but time in running out as they are in their 20s now. My employer plan is OK, but employee portion continues to rise hitting me right in the pay check.
This was the main reason along with Supreme Court and Illegal Imigration as to why I rang 100 door bells every week for Trump in OH. We won, gave GOP majorities, now I ask them to do their job.
I have the right to health care by going to a doctor I like and paying for his services. I should be able to shop for insurance across state lines.
Govt cannot force me to buy anything, especially then dictating what kind and type of thing to buy.
Malpractice wind falls is a big part to why costs are crazy. I know several orthopedic surgeons that don’t do surgery anymore. The only do the basic office visit stuff because the reward doesn’t offset the cost. So Tort reform is a must.
I fear for the mid term 2018 elections if this does get fixed in next 12 months. We know that come Nov. 2017 more insurers will drop out, premiums and deductibles will rise insanely like they did in 2016. So maybe we can get this done right in January 2018? Pressure those Dem senators up re-election.
A Dem majority will kill Trump’s ability to do anything and we as a country will lose and his re-election could be in doubt and we will resume our slide to The Socialist Staes Of America. United seems to have fallen by the way side.
Trump gave Ryan the ball and he failed. So Trump wisely punted. So I hope another effort happens in the next 12 months.
On to Tax Time I guess. Hope we can get Our act together on that.
Sounds like a much better Bill.
I just love this guy.
Rand us no Reagan. He would have got something yesterday
The Health Savings Account is the direct result of one conservative think tank economist. I am sure that he and others like him could think of some more good stuff you could use.
You could be a real hero, man.
Even the WaPo notes ObamaCare failures, WaPo headline.
