Shorter Idiot: We have no plan and will never have one (to replace OCare). We want to run for decades on killing it. That is what our supporters want.
And the GOP now plans on forcing healthcare insurers to offer insurance coverage to anyone and everyone with no added cost and no assurance that there will ever be future stability in the markerplace? Is that how this is going to work?
Good luck with that one!
A lie. Insurance companies will move quickly to cut their losses. People will die.
“The Plans” won’t change. We’ll cut off all Federal subsidies, and you can buy them with your HSA (which you can’t afford to put money into), but “The Plans” will be the same. Always look for the word(s) they emphasize, and consider what they aren’t saying.
Oh honest to God…this is ‘Brexit’ all over again…let’s rush a VOTE and show the base WE CARE even tho we have no FKing idea what we’re doing and then kick the can down the road insisting we DO SO KNOW what we’re doing and praying for someone else to ‘own’ it.
No consequences before the mid-terms!
No… Trump will use his bigly negotiating skills to convince them to keep issuing policies.
why not use these tactics?
they never seem to fail with the idiots who vote these vile creatures into office.
but…the little i know about this…says you can not kill the funding and expect any part of it to work…
GOP: That is our plan.
For immediate consumption. Expires later today. Not intended to be a factual statement.
The replacement plan will include state based markets – exchanges if you prefer – where private insurance companies will compete with various plans providing consumers a choice. We’re going to call it the Really Affordable Care Act. Companies will not be allowed to exclude per-existing conditions.
Of course, providing contraception coverage will be criminalized as will routine gynecological services – matters best left to women and their pastors.
There will be no mandate so as to exclude healthy people from the market and we’re going to allow the states to subsidize or not, as God intended. This new law is definitely Jesus based.
We don’t expect any companies to sign up to offer policies since the market is designed to only include the very sick, which will prove once and for all that we Republicans were always right and working people only get spoiled and made soft by good health care.
Don’t worry, be happy until after the mid-term elections. Then, be scared out of your socks.
According to Collins, the repeal vote that the GOP-controlled Congress still plans to hold “quickly” is expected to affect provisions like Obamacare-related taxes, the individual coverage mandate and the mandate that companies with 50 employees or more have to provide workers with affordable insurance. There would be “absolutely no changes whatsoever” to the insurance plans held by individual Americans, he said.
I think you’ve got the right idea. Basically, starve the program of funding and nullify the risk pool to point where you end up with HSA’s. Plans may not have changed but the feasibility of getting them evaporates.
For a party that controls the House, Senate, and Executive Office, they sure don’t act like it. Why put it off until 2019 if you have all that power?
Serious answer. They are a bunch of poseurs and dim-bulb amateurs who simply have no idea how to govern.

Great. Individual Americans are OK.
Those with employer-provided healthcare, on the other hand, could find themselves without insurance if their employer is no longer required to offer it. I guess they could go to the exchanges, but…oh…wait…they’ll be gone.
Awesome plan, guys.
Um, no, this is the age of Trump, it will be the “Bigly Affordable Care Act”…
(I’m still laughing over the rest…)
You morons had years –
