Disgusting: The Freedom Caucus Saves Obamacare Again

AHCA was pulled from the floor yet again this afternoon, and it now is probable that Obamacare will be the law of the land for years to come. This is an utter disaster for U.S. health care, not to mention individual liberty, and the responsibility rests squarely on shoulders of a small cadre of political opportunists with the effrontery to call themselves the “House Freedom Caucus.”

These people held out for the impossible — full repeal of Obamacare in one fell swoop — and have thus destroyed the only realistic opportunity their party will have in the near future to eradicate the law’s individual and employer mandates, enact entitlement reform, expand HSAs, defund Planned Parenthood, halt the metastasis of Medicaid, and cut its myriad taxes.

Moreover, they have made a mockery of their group’s name by perpetuating the increasingly oppressive and powerful administrative state, leaving their constituents to the tender mercies of Beltway bureaucrats whose contempt for the taxpayers who support them is exceeded only by the breathtaking incompetence with which they mismanage everything they touch.

If Trump moves left and tries to court democrats on Stupidcare than he’ll be a one term president. The best way is Rand Paul’s way and then modify it some to get the Rhino’s aboard. Ryancare was nothing but Obamacare Lite. IT WASN’T GOING TO WORK!! Then when that became apparent in the future if it had passed the base would desert Trump.

Yes...as designed by the same lying democrats— designed to fail, and get the population to SCREAM for “free” healthcare.Yes indeedee, let’s copy the idiotic British NHS system— out of control and run by socialist apparat. Let’s ignore Lord Monckton’s warnigs... let’s go total US Postal Service, civil service one payor govt. healthcare. Brilliant. Only problem will be— without a mandate— how are they going to force single payor to us? The across state lines insurers will cut this to shreds. End the State Insurance commissioner’s kickbacks and power.

And, you can’t sue govt. healthcare either— something a lot of people are missing... the tort lobby isn’t having a bit of this.

Obama care has now been called Conservacare

Poland 1976: Lech Walesa Organizes protest against Polish Communist Government. Does not succeed and is fired from his job. Therefore, Walesa can now be called a Communist.

Do you see the stupidity of this logic?

[Antoninus]

Oh, I see. So the conservatives that have been most staunch in trying to--you know--actually repeal this monstrosity known as ObamaCare are now actually to blame for it.

This argument is not simply dishonest, it's an insult to our intelligence.

[Antoninus]

Somebody will have to be blamed for the failure to repeal Obamacare.

And it's obvious who that will be -- those who decided to set aside the 50 times they delivered an ObamaCare repeal to Obama when it was politically meaningless to do so, and instead tried to ram through ObamaCareLite when they had full control.

The GOP leadership is peopled with leftist moles and idiots and it's depressingly hard to tell them apart.

[Syncro]

Yes, do it piecemeal like Obama did hundreds of times with his unconstitutional EOs—Which apparently the eGOP had no problems with.

MAGA
