What new health “deal”? Ryancare was simply obamacare with a twist, what President Hillary was given by the insurance companies because she, Ryan, the insurance companies and 99.99999999% of everyone else thought Hillary was going to be President.
The enemedia and RINO NeverTrump articles about this so-called “failure” are all delusional, and the best part is that they actually believe their own delusions.
I heard President Trump himself say a few weeks ago that his administration wouldn’t be addressing obamacare repeal and replace until late 2017 to early 2018 (basically when obamacare would be facing complete collapse), so I can’t wait to watch these fools freak the F out when his administration introduces a REAL repeal and replace bill 9 months from now.
As far as President Trump is concerned, I surely hope RyanCare was nothing but a red herring intended to take Paul Ryan out of all future equations about everything.
RyanCare was a real abortion of a bill, written by the insurance companies who were the only ones who were going to benefit from its passage. The insurance companies clearly had this bill already in hand, and I feel certain had cut a deal with Paul Ryan BEFORE the election, fully expecting (exactly like the rest of the entire world) that HILLARY CLINTON would be President, but believing that some Pub House votes would be needed to get the bill through the House.
RyanCare was actually SUPPOSED to have been HillaryCare, which was why the original RyanCare bill preserved 99.9% of obamacare, and it was supposed to have been Hillary’s gift to the insurance companies, while simultaneously shafting Trump’s voters, who are the people who would have suffered the worst under HillaryCare/RyanCare, with even higher premiums than we pay now, all the while with President Hillary proclaiming to the public that she had “fixed” obamacare.
Ryan went ahead with HillaryCare anyway, thinking he could bulldoze the House into screwing their own constituencies even worse than happened with obamacare. If this had passed, Ryan also knew that it would totally sink Trump’s ship before four years were out, which was another major goal of Ryan’s, namely, to try to destroy President Trump before 2020.
The Freedom Caucus saved Trump’s bacon whether he knows it or not.
Obamacare was designed to implode right when Hillary was elected so she could be the hero by ‘fixing’ it.
Her first “fix” was the bill that the insurance companies’ had already written, and this bill was supposed to be her gift to the insurance companies, as well as screwing Trump’s voters who were the group that would have had the biggest premium increases with her “fix”.
That too was designed to eventually fail as well, with single-payer being her ultimate “fix”, with her throwing up her hands and saying, “Well, folks, we tried EVERYTHING possible and nothing worked, so looks like single-payer is all that’s left”.
But that all exploded when President Trump was elected. Paul Ryan tried to introduce the HillaryCare/InsuranceCompanyCare bill anyway, since he had already cut a deal with Hillary and the insurance companies, but that exploded too.
If President Trump was smart, he’d just drop the whole obamacare thing for 9-10 months, and bring back real repeal/replace after obamacare had totally failed, at which point he’d have a mandate for doing practically anything he wanted to do.
Last I checked the Repubs voted to repeal Obamacare for the last 8 years. Now they suddenly revealed to their constituents that those were just show votes all along.
Trump promised to repeal it on day one, or close to it.
If it isn’t repealed before the next election, the GOP majority in Congress is history.
I also don’t see how they can continue on to other agenda items and expect to get any support or momentum while this failure to keep their promise is hanging over their heads. It’s not going to be any easier to pass in a year than it is now, so why delay? Obamacare isn’t going to “collapse on its own.” Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapsed in any real economic sense of the word, but then they didn’t, because the government bails out their own programs EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Frankly, it doesn’t matter how bad the bill they pass is. They have to keep their promise to repeal it out of sheer electoral realpolitik. No matter what they pass, there is no way people are going to suddenly think their health care is cheap and affordable. The reality is we have a doctor shortage and no bill can fix that quickly.
