“So immediately we can provide relief this year to families struggling under Obamacare. That’s good.”
I agree. If any families are struggling under the ACA, we should strive to offer them relief. Of course, millions of people are doing great under the ACA and are doing far better than they were previously.
Seems like we need a repair, rather than a repeal, Congressman.
Ryan’s like the lab rats who keep hitting the lever for another dose of coke. They get high saying “repeal and replace” without ever thinking about what it really means or its effects on the Americans they love so much.
@charliee There’s also the pesky fact that states won by orange also had the highest enrollments in ACA for 2017; Florida, with just under 1.3 million; Texas, with about 776,000; North Carolina, with 369,077; Georgia, with 352,000; and Pennsylvania, with 290,950. Let lying trumpet explain that to the bots.
Ryan: It will be part of trillion dollar tax cut package for the rich. If democrats dont accept it, it will be just a Repeal & Run.
.“We already showed people what we believe in — what Obamacare should be replaced with, so we’re gonna use every tool at our disposal, through legislation, through regulation, to bring replace concurrent along with repeal so that we can save people from this mess.”
This is a huge lie that I’m assuming he simply intends to repeat ad nauseum until the brainwashing is complete. Either the Rethugs have introduced a replacement that was totally unworkable OR they never intended a replacement at all. And, in any case, the health insurance industry ain’t going down without a fight.
This is like the gift that keeps on giving.
With no replacement plan of any sort (and remember, any plan will still be scored by the CBO, no?), this is going to be a lot fun to watch. Being a contrarian is easy, governing is hard.
Concurrent purchases have work so well for the DoD, let’s try it for Insurance!
Not!
See F-35, USS Gerald Ford, Littoral Combat Ship…
Building and testing at the same time doesn’t work and neither will this plan.
Heh, Paul. So, you’re never going to repeal and replace Obama Care. Now that’s a hard motherfuckin’ fact of life, but that’s a fact of life your ass is gonna have to get realistic about. See, this business is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their Obama-Care ass-hattery would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don’t. Besides, Paul, how many Obama-Care replacement fights do you think you got in you anyhow? Two? Speakers of the House don’t have an Old Timers Place. You came close but you never made it. And if you were gonna make it, you would have made it before now.
Ryan is making an awful lot of nice-sounding promises without any indication they can actually be delivered.
Getting a lot of mileage out of that
That is Ryan’s standard operating procedure.
How he ever got a reputation as a thoughtful policy wonk is one of the great mysteries of the last 20 years.
So sayeth the wannabee stepson of Ayn Rand, author of "The Virtue of Selfishness."
Ryan is saying that people are suffering under ACA.
Really?
ayep
n FTW
The point being he hasn’t shit
Trump’s honeymoon phase didn’t even last to his inauguration, and the GOP’s legislative agenda seems to be losing its varnish with similar alacrity. Tillis and Burr’s staffers will have my phone number memorized by year’s end.
it will be scored by the CBO.
Now the office has made clear what the guidelines will be for any new plan, but hey…details.
For those keeping score at home, Tom Price hasn’t had his confirmation hearing yet.
