This is the only reasonable course. The dynamics would be completely different in crafting a new “health care” bill if ObamaScare were completely undone. Not that I think there would be a need for one, but they wouldn’t have to pretend to mend an unmendable faulty foundation.
I disagree.
I think this entire fiasco has been a huge distraction, and that Trump should stop this, and focus on global trade, our southern border, and global hotspots.
He has wasted entirely too much time on this, already.
Just my opinion.
Happening soon: I'm on with @BillHemmer & @FoxNews to talk about a bipartisan healthcare solution.
It forces a majority to the table for an eventual replacement bill.
Love!
Freedom Caucus has been correct all along. “Establishment” Republicans almost as bad for freedom and liberty as Progressive Dems!
YES - repeal Obamacare now!
Make ad hoc adjustments later as needed, such as cross-state insurance, state medicaid reimbursements, Tort reform, etc... none of this needs to be done in a massive 2000 page bill now
Simply REPEAL now.
Bttt
They aren’t going to do that either.
Useless party can’t do shit other than lie.
SALUTE
The question is do the citizens want everyone to have insurance or decent healthcare. Looks like most libs think if they have insurance, they will get decent healthcare. Cretins, Idiots, Fools and Lunatics...all of them.
I’m skeptical. The Democrats and the Media (but I repeat myself) will portray a full repeal as “throwing 25,000 people off their healthcare plan and resulting in 15,000 near-term deaths.” Then the spineless GOP-e types will lose their nerve and hide under rocks. It really is checkmate and the establishment/Democrats know it.
This is mute now.
From ZeroHedge:
“Well that did not take long. Somewhat unsurprisingly, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s new proposal to simply repeal Obamacare is already dead after GOP Senators Susan Collins, Shelley Moore Capito and Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday they’ll oppose a repeal of the Affordable Care Act.”

Add RETROACTIVE REFUND of lost Premiums and lost Deductibles. Refund all lost insurance payments. People are hurting from big govt takings.
Thank you!! It’s what you promised for 7 years; do it.
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
From related threads …
Patriots are reminded that regardless what lawless Obama’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices want everybody to think about Obamacare and the Obamacare insurance mandate, these justices, the RINO-controlled Senate, and the corrupt media likely don’t want voters to find out that previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had already clarified that the states have never given the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate healthcare.
This is evidenced by the excerpts below from the writings of Thomas Jefferson, previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices, and Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker.
Regarding Obama’s justices bluffing that the Obamacare insurance mandate is constitutional for example, consider the fifth entry in the list from Paul v. Virginia. In that case the Court clarified that the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers does not include regulating insurance contracts, regardless if the parties negotiating the contract are domiciled in different states.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
"4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract [emphases added] of indemnity against loss.” —Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
"Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” —Linder v. United States
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. …” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the swamp imo, it is actually up to patriots to drain the swamp in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
