Whereās that windsock picture?
This should be interesting. Have they shown him what theyāve got so far? Or is it too manifold to be seen yet? 
And have they told Stable McGeniusface about the idea? Heās famously open to accepting help from rich, successful detractors.
I think this calls for another intimate discussion date ā¦
Oh, Bullcrap. Of course heās in consultation. Thereās no intention of producing something usable, and they know their garbage wouldnāt pass the house. But theyāre going to keep up the charade as long as they can.
Like the NAFTA replacement, replacement ObamaCare will look exactly like ObamaCare but will have a different name. Trump will run naked through the rose garden touting it as a genuine advance. The press will applaud loudly.
Romney had been missing the spotlight, so heās found a window to get back in there, mainly on TV where heās oh so telegenic.
Romneyās pitch will go something like this: take the ACA/Obamacare and rename it Trumpcare, keeping all of Obamacareās features. Then share credit with Trump for maintaining health insurance for millions. All before the next election. Trumpās supporters wonāt see that itās the same because they are not getting their news from real journalists on Fox. So, there you have it.
OK, Iām just now getting back to reality after being laid up last week. What is this all about? Iām thoroughly confused. Why is everyone acting like a replacement plan would or could make it through the House? What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
After years of running away from his implementation, as Massachusetts governor, of a health care overhaul that helped inspire Obamacare
āAfter inspiring Obamacare?ā I am really fed up with this narrative that it was Romney who was the driving force behind the MA universal health care plan. He was not. The MA plan was a legislative initiative that Romney decided to support because in his words āI want a seat at the tableā. At that point in his governorship he was averaging 1 veto override by the legislature per week on average and had over 200 veto overrides in his one term as Governor. He knew at that point of his term that the legislature was willing and able to override any Romney veto and were doing so with overwhelming support of MA voters. BTW he literally ran for Potus in 2008 rather than another term as Governor because he did not have a snowballs chance in hell of being reelected
Letās see - that term paperās due at 100 pm today. Guess Iād better start working on it.
Theyāre counting on whatever gobble-de-gook they send wonāt pass ā¦
That way they can twist it around and blame Dems ā
I think someone there realized that if the court does strike down the ACA theyād better have the āSimply Renaming It āTrumpcareā Act of 2019ā ready to go.
Mitt please go home, live off your questionably acquired wealth and quit trying to pass laws that will funk even more folks over than you already have.
They donāt want a bill. They want tiny fragments that they can leak to friendly reporters or blather about while campaigning.
Thatās egregious, I agree.
TPMās headline-writers ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Welcome back, Plucky!
Thatās the ticket! Letās just repeal the name āObamacareā and otherwise leave it alone!
The GOP plan for healthcare:
Keep Obamacare.
Embrace Obamacare.
Improve Obamacare.
Rename Obamacare.
Except they have already gutted aspects (in hhs, I think) that compromise the program, so they would have to add-back some of what they have gutted.
Even if Romney had Binders-full-of-plans the hardliners in the Senate would never go along with trying to put the parts of humpty dumprty - that they enabled breaking - back together again.
