well, DUH, has been called. who knew? not trump or the boy genius or the turtle.
math has been and continues to be challenging even for the boi wizard…
Wow. Looks like a great opportunity to open a bunch of Trump Hospitals that aren’t tied to evil Obamacare. Cha-ching!
Good business is where you find it. Making America Great Again!
The hospital groups better start paying their tribute to the GOP, otherwise, they will not be heard. No one cares, considering the insurance companies contribute a good deal to the campaigns.
There will soon be an internecine war among the Trumpettes of which slogan to use:
Unleash the Potential!™ or Come Die With Us™
The GOP is in deep doo-doo. They got caught with their proverbial ‘pants down’ when they gained control of the whole Federal government and lost the Democrats as a foil. They are now expected to ‘solve the ObamaCare problem’ and have no clue what to do.
No matter what they propose, oxen are going to be gored but good. There is nothing that will satisfy every constituency.
If the GOP refuses to save the mandatory insurance requirement that allows ALL who apply to insure, then I say the Democrats should let the GOP figure it out on their own. Let the GOP take all of the heat and be held accountable for the sh*tstorm that will follow.
It could get very, very ugly. Let the GOP eat their own.
The one thing good about the election results is to make them put up or shut up.
Where were these hospital groups and their warning during the 66 votes to overturn Obamacare these past years?
good question, no good answer.
The solution will just be to have the federal government write the hospitals a check for billions of dollars to cover their loss. It will be a small price to pay for the R’s to claim this important ideological victory. Who cares what the cost is? We’re talking ideology!
So which one will get the Urkel award?
Bwahaha!
Ryan and his minions did not expect such a massive blowback not only now but even before any ink is dry on PROPOSED legislation! What fools to not expect this report that must have totally blindsided the Republicans. Watch for other groups affected to buttress this report and add to the fray even before Obamacare is repealed.
Ah, but Trump knows better, will say their facts, like global warming, are all wrong and no, they won’t lose any $ when he signs onto Ryan’s wet dream. Then when the market tanks due to huge sell-offs of hospital stocks, he’ll blame Obama!
Well said.
And while they are trying to figure this intractable problem out, I suggest we accuse, investigate, obfuscate, muckrake and otherwise bull-headedly obstruct. Let’s see how they enjoy it.

Hospitals were able to stand aside, knowing the bill would be vetoed and never become law. Thus they didn’t have to waste any political capital. Now they are truly frightened and are forced to speak up.
The only question I have for Paul Ryan is this:
“Can I keep my own Doctor?”
They knew that it would not be overturned, so they had no reason to speak up…if they did say something supporting Obamacare the Republicans would have excoriated them just like everyone else. Now that they see it will be overturned, they are panicking about the lost income and trying to stop it. Everyone who made money off Obamacare had plenty of opportunity to stand up to the Republicans and explain why it’s a far better solution than what we had before it passed…now is too late to try to save it politically, much less save the lives of all the people with serious illnesses who lose their health insurance.
This is like a complex litigation law suit with multiple parties all simultaneously negotiating and demanding to be ‘made whole’ before the trial begins.
Everyone who gave up something to accept ObamaCare dot one is now ‘demanding’ that they be given back what they ceded.
Ain’t gonna happen folks. Not in this lifetime. The bill comes due and payable January 20, 2017 and there are not nearly enough hours available to ‘relitigate’ what it took to craft ObamaCare dot one the first time.
Pitchforks and torches in the lobby VISA, M/C, and PayPal gladly accepted.
And now Reps are actually expected to do what they hate most: govern
