Do you think I'm not aware of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it
Is it hard to keep me where you want me staying
Don't go on betraying it
Don't make promises you can't keep

Vivek is wrong. Trump tried, and McCain stopped it. Just more exposing that the Republicans had nothing to replace it, even thought they promised they would if we gave them control.

Vivek is another poser who real self is being exposed.

It is a false promise if it is contingent on Congress.

Does Ramaswamy understand he's running for the presidency, which is a co-equal branch to congress? He'll have the same handicaps, should he win.

McCain is the one who killed it and gave a thumbs up as he did it.

This guy can make good arguments and be articulate. But he’s bat guano on some things.

His ability to gab is how he made his money, as opposed to Trump who actually built things, big things.

Real life stuff, not just talking people in to investing and shifting money around.

Compare to Musk who created real things with real products and services.

“Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy swiped at former President Donald Trump on Thursday for failing to repeal and replace the health care overhaul.”

I guess Vivek hasn’t been the US long enough to understand the function of Congress.

Has the Obamacare mandate been repealed?

The ACA federal mandate, repealed as part of the Trump administration’s tax law, imposed a tax penalty on uninsured individuals equal to the greater of $695 or 2.5% of annual income; the penalty was capped at the price of the cheapest bronze plan on the Healthcare.Gov marketplace.

When Trump was elected the republicans had more political power than at any point in decades and they still couldn’t get most of Trump’s policies passed. McCainites did everything in their power to stop Trump’s very popular policies and people wonder why Dems managed to claw back control

I’m not the biggest Trump supporter but Vivek is way off on this. Trump kept his end of the bargain. McCain and the other RINOs that flip-flopped are to blame.

This ass-clown thinks that all the President has to do is wave his Hindu Sengol and all of Washington bows down and does what he wants.

Not ready for prime time.

Maybe start by running for Congress or State Senate.

They can’t completely make O Care gone in a day. It’s too much in every part of the system.

The first big step would be to allow competition and the elimination of gold standard care in every policy.

uh, no Vivek, it’ wasn’t in Trump’s ability as president to do that, except maybe by EO.

Healthcare is supposed to be handled by each state, not federal govt.

I think if anything at this point it would be congress to repeal it, not the president.

What Ramaswamy is saying is that promising to do things you can’t accomplish are false promises even if it is oppostion that keeps you from accomplishing them.

Ramaswamy makes promises that he doesn’t need help from Congress to fulfill, but I think Ramaswamy is too wet behind the ears to know that even with some of the promises doesn’t need Congress do, he would never be allowed to fulfill them. The underestimates the power of the deep state. This wouldn’t be business subordinates he’d be dealing with.

BS. It was Paul Ryan that prevented any progress on that front.
