This has to be done carefully.

Well forget Republicans doing anything then.

Freedom Caucus: “When we blow something up, we want to see immediate results - including demolishing the Transition Bridge so there’s no supply line for health care.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), as well as other Republican senators, has also said that replacing Obamacare could be a lengthy process.

“You can’t just snap your fingers and go from where we are today to where we’re headed,” McConnell said Saturday. “This has to be done carefully. It has to be done in a phased-in way over a period of time.”

and clearly 6 years hasn’t been enough time… altho that’s only about a day and a half in McTurtle time…

But wait, they’ve been telling us for years that they - the 'pubs in congress - already have a replacement plan ready to implement! I distinctly recall Mr. Ryan standing before the press, holding up a very thin document, and proclaiming that they were ready to go! Or were they lying?

I think he plays directly into the Democrats hand. Good for him. If he gets his way there won’t be an early vote to repeal the ACA.

Their replacement plan can be written on a match book cover: can’t pay, then die. The GOP would pass this unanimously.

This freedumb caucus fellow gets free government healthcare and he barely works. Is he giving that up at the same time?

And so the slow mo implosion begins.
Can’t govern with a minority
Can’t govern with a majority.

Ergo: Can’t govern
Or Don’t want to govern.
Please note : both statements can be true

Trump and the Republicans may begin to realize that Obamacare is actually the best (albeit controversial) healthcare option Vs the so called “privatization” route. And if they really start to peel things back and begin to understand how insurance works and the cost factors of the US Insurance Industry, they will learn that a single payer system is by far the best system as well. A single payer system similar to Germany’s is the best way to provide healthcare and to lower costs. Insurance companies do NOT add value…they add huge amounts of overhead to the system! Under the German system, there are no insurance companies for general healthcare…and competition is preserved and even encouraged at the delivery point of care (patients choose their physicians and care facilities based on ho they like the service they receive). The German system does allow for so called “cadillac plans” (Mercedes plans) for the rich for things like elective surgeries and etc… The whole billing process and etc. is managed by government…at a far lower cost than the greedy bastard cost model of private insurance!

Think America - THINK! I know it’s hard, but stop listening to the fake BS from Republicans…cowboys shooting from the hip in the cheap seats. When they actually get down on the playing field, they fumble the ball and screw everything up with their so called supply side ideology.

Republicans campaign on the platform of “government doesn’t work.” Once elected, they prove it.

Yes, make him show his personal payments for his personal health insurance before listening to anything he has to say.
