Affordable Care Act

President Donald Trump is demanding a vote Friday in the House on the Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney told GOP lawmakers. If the bill fails, Trump is prepared to move on and leave Obamacare in place, Mulvaney warned.

I love it.

I take it he won't be doing anymore rallies after that. Cause his base will start dropping one by one.

Semi smart move. He has all the votes for a full repeal. Doesn't have enough votes to have a new replacement.
 
My idea of good health insurance would be if you would like to have it, you should buy some that covers you specifically.

Somehow, that's crazy and heartless. And I'm expected to pay for others bc... it's "cruel" not to

Anyways - hopefully more of these private doctors sac mentioned open up shop to offer more choice.
 
buys a rolls and drives it himself and listens to taylor swift :smh

shocker this dude uses a fork for NYC pizza and eats well done steak
 
Learned this morning

1) there is no district in the US that the (R) replace and repeal notion has positive polling

2) Chris Christie favorable's are higher than the Trump/Ryan Bill
 
With all these revisions and changes at the eleventh hour before a vote, are folks going to have time to read and digest the final bill and all it's implications, or is this another "we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it?"

I wouldn't count on that. Would be nice though.

I think one of the things that is forgotten in the debate about repeal and replace is that there are those on the left who hated the ACA as much as those on the right (obviously for different reasons). My guess is support for the bill being discussed has grown on the right, but it's been more than offset by those on the left and in the middle who previously supported the ACA.

Oh, believe me, that won't matter this time around. LOL. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

With the caveat that it appears that there have been concessions to placate moderate/vulnerable House Republicans (not that we'd know), any changes in this thing that are aimed at the Freedom Caucus are going to tend to make it less of a going concern in the Senate.

Either way, the White House position is "heads we win, tails Paul Ryan loses."
