Stupid assholes
Monday night quarterbacking is easy. That’s all a significant portion of the Goopers know how to do.
It’s a whole lot different when you have to get down in the mud, right, guys?
Sounds like a horse being designed by an incompetent committee.
What kind of ally is a dead-end ally? Probably not a very reliable one?
There is no way a high-risk pool can function without very large subsidies, since insuring people with expensive conditions is, well, expensive. Obamacare mitigated this by getting healthy people to sign up. Take that away and the subsidies will have to come from the Feds. These guys will end up being BIG spenders, way beyond anything the Dems would have contemplated.
Rube Goldberg had nothing on the GOTP … but at least his gadgets worked 
“Either they can pass a repeal bill in the coming weeks and hope Democrats – facing political pressure in red states – will assist them later with a replacement.”
In all honesty I don’t even begin to understand what this assistance/pressure is. Democrats will be blamed for not coming up with a replacement for the ACA? What next? Democrats will be blamed for Trump’s Muslim ban and will come under pressure to replace it? I really don’t get this at all.
Spellchecker apparently is Freudian, who knew?
Alley not ally. That said, the Republican caucus has many a dead- end ally
Democrats facing political pressure in red states? Don’t get it either. Republicans have to get passed the HC industry, hospital corporations and insurance carriers - who have lost billions up to this point on the ACA. Go ahead Paulie, tell them they’ll be no mandate and their subsidies are going to be capped. Just try it.
Republicans Have An Obamacare ‘Replacement’ Problem
GOPers are bereft of ANY skills to help ordinary people …
The actual act has never been practiced —
First rule of Republican governance:
Deficits don’t count.
That’s for Democrats to fix after we crash the economy
I mean, they couldn’t come up with anything in 2009-2010 (except for poison pills for the Democratic bill.) They didn’t come up with anything in the six years following. Some argue that the policy reality is that ACA is a minimal policy to ensure that almost everyone is able to get health insurance, subject to a guess about the level of subsidies needed given actual premiums. Some say that the GOP is too lazy, too stupid, too incompetent, and too hostile to non-rich people getting health care to be able to craft an effective replacement.
I’ll let the geniuses on Meet the Press sort it out.
It’s easy…
Yeah, they got nothing
Third, Republicans would turn to the Trump administration to make regulatory reforms on its own…
How desperate do you have to be to put your faith in this administration, based on the way they’ve handled their policy changes so far?
That odd man out is going to feel really awkward after the shots…
Nope.
3 - 1 ≠ 4.
The plan is for everyone to pay for your own health care, or die trying. Discriminatory pricing against older, sicker, poorer people is a step towards everyone just buying their own health care. But they also want preserve the insurance industry’s revenue, even though they subtract value from the system rather than adding any.
Republicans have a right and left hand problem, Trump is trying to keep
people out that have not killed anyone in 8 years, the Republican house
passed a bill to give the mentally unstable the right to purchase firearms ?
WTF !
