Trump will make good on his promise to repeal and replace. Not even Rand Paul is for just repeal.
My understanding is that they need even a half-assed health care reform bill before they can do any tax reform. The only thing that mattered in the AHCA was the $1.2 trillion CBO estimate for reduced spending over ten years. Even if the estimate is fake it gives Congress a lot of cover to cut taxes.
Call me when its over.
When did we try “just free market?” That hasn’t existed in this country for fifty years or more.
Nonsense.
We never had a Free Market in insurance and it is rare with everything else. Government controls so much of the economy that it should be called “State Capitalism”.
Getting rid of Obamacare just means insurance is returned to the purview of the state insurance commissioners.
housing and food are critical too... and yet we don’t give everyone a free mansion and lobster.
basic emergency care should be provided to anyone regardless of their ability to pay (and it is and has been)
American healthcare costs are higher because of government interference with the market along with the prevalence of insurance which destroys the free market forces which would naturally keep prices down.
If it’s another version of Ryancare,fugatabowdit.
I agree. I do not see why the same repeal bill they passed numerous times under Obama could not be done by the end of this week and on President Trump’s desk by Monday if they wanted it done.
The single most expensive medical care is what we have now, where families cannot afford the premiums and even if they did they could not get by the deductibles unless they suddenly find themselves with cancer.
These losers will take a two week vacation although they have time consuming issues.
to claim the USA has any anything like a free-market in healthcare for the last 30 years is just a ridiculous statement. We have NOT tried the free market in a long time - and we move further from it every day.
Primary and Replace.
Look — you have legitimate concerns ... but making insurance unaffordable for ordinary Americans just because a lot of people need expensive treatments doesn’t help anyone.
You answered yourself, they don’t want it done.
So many don’t know the guy
I agree.
So we eliminate the government interference. No regulations. No laws saying what is required for providing coverage to anyone, for anything.
The government gets completely out of medicine.
No more government. If that is what you are saying, I am for that 100%. That is NOT what we have, we have the completely opposite.
The government is hugely involved in every single aspect of our medical care. Everything.
That is why it is so darned expensive.
But because it is, it needs to ensure that everyone has access to medical care.
However we do medical care, the government needs to require that everyone has the opportunity for real care.
Every single American.
No exceptions.
Ryan and the RINOs have no intention of repealing Obamacare.
They are the attendants of Fedzilla and Fedzilla derives great power from controlling all health care decisions and medical records.
They will try to preserve as much of Obamacare as they possibly can to preserve that power for Fedzilla.
They serve Fedzilla, not the citizens.
