Repeal of Obamacare

[grampster]

I shake my head every time a see a politician or reporter discussing the repeal of Obamacare.   They hysterically proclaim that millions and millions Americans will lose their insurance if Obamacare is repealed.  That is nothing but scare tactics and horsepucky!  Any bill to repeal Obamacare can have a date of repeal.  It does not have to be immediately!!  For example:  A bill to repeal is voted upon by the house and senate on April 1, 2017.  President says he'll sign it as soon as it hits his desk.  That bill can have a repeal date anytime in the future.  That date could be January 1, 2018 or in fact could state that it is repealed when congress and the President sign a replacement law and that could have any date.  There are many replacement plans floating around. 

In fact if the government should even create a health insurance bill in the first place , Rand Paul's bill fits the bill, if you'll pardon the pun.  It's 4 pages long and does the job.

what irritates me, and is why i'm sick of the GOP in general, is this huge noise about getting rid of Obamacare. And when they're finally in a position to do it, It's almost the same in most of the most egregious ways.

Oh, but there's no subsidy.... we'll just give out tax cuts.

Oh, but there's no individual mandate paid to the gov. you'll just pay that to the insurance companies when and if you do sign up.

THey polished the turd and slapped a new label on it. The Republican party makes me *expletive deleted*ing sick

Who is the Speaker of the House now, is it Nancy Ryan, or Paul Pelosi?

Ryan told Fox News on Monday that the legislation, which likely heads to a House vote next week, would ultimately include "refinements and improvements" before heading to the Senate.

This sounds suspiciously like, "We'll just have to pass it to find out what's in it." Sorry, Mr. Speaker -- you'll have to do a LOT better than that.

I liked Krauthammer's suggestion from last night. Go to the 5:28 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oeGNLELECo&t=2s

Given recent statements from various GOP leadership congresscritters and Trump's camp, it should be clear now that we were lied to with regard to the repeal of ObamaCare.
Makes me think of Charley Brown and the football.

I keep hearing everyone act like we have to replace it with something.  What was there before it was passed?  Just dump the original bill.  I think it is all excuses because the leadership in the House doesn't want to do the work and is being pressured by lobbyists not to repeal.
