Politico on Obamacare future (Congress, health care system, Clinton, insurance)

[Texas Minded]

Obamacare defenders vow 'total war' - POLITICO

Funny bits...

"Using both regulation and legislation, meanwhile, congressional Republicans have a clear path to undermine Obamacare as early as Jan. 20 and to repeal Obamacare within months, although the road is fraught with landmines. Democrats, in turn, may have few options besides trying to convince voters to pressure the GOP to keep that scuttling the law will hurt the vulnerable — the same voters who just elected Trump. the Republicans who pledged to repeal it."

Those are not the same voters who elected Trump. LOL


"Dismantling an exceedingly complex law that has become baked into the health care system is going to be much more complex than Trump acknowledged on the campaign trail. It would add uncertainty and frustration to the insurance companies running Obamacare plans."

Oh man... "it's baked in! You can't undo it!" Right... sorry... undone. Next issue!

Frustration of insurance companies? They are frustrated because they SCREWED UP by backing this pile of crap law. LOL. They want out right now.

If they do repeal, I hope they will not have it take effect immediately. Give the insurance industry a year to adjust. That would also give them more time to work out the replacement.

Most likely this will be in effect for 2018. Going to be interesting. If there were any easy answers that did not anger half the country, they would have been thought of long ago.

Politico?

They have been thoroughly disgraced as nothing but shills for the Clintons.

They are irrelevant now.
