What we need is Universal health Care. I can get behind that.
If that is what he wants though, why isn't that the plan being sent forth?
Because many of us don't want socialized health care and to promote such will lose his conservative base. You see, we tend to side with "freedom and liberty" based concepts, not communist ones where we subjugate the masses with armed government officials who will imprison or kill you if you do not hand over money for their cause.
I never knew this. Maybe that's why he says that we should either pass this (current stupid bill) or we'll just keep Obamacare but that he is moving on to tax reform. Deep down inside, he wants to keep Obamacare.
IF the Republicans could get their heads together and keep Obamacare and improve it, they WIN! I might even become a Republican if they did that.
I think him, and GOP are ok keeping ACA, but they have to out up this show because they have been talking about nothing else for 7 years.
The sensible thing to do, and it seems to be dawning to them now, is to identify the issues with ACA and fix them. That works much better than sabotaging it, which is what they have done so far.
Amazes me how for 8 years repubs whined and belly ached about Obamacare but in that time never lifted a finger to come up with a better plan and now they are wondering why this poorly constructed last minute trumpcare plan isnt being welcomed by every one.
Some did come up with good plans, Rand Paul is one of them, but... his plan doesn't give handouts and at the end of the day, most of the "republicans" are just establishment types or RINOs who like the democrats sell handouts to a mooching base.

I agree with you. There are parts of ACA that work very well and I acknowledge that some people have been burned by ACA too. So lets just fix it, not get rid of it all together.
Have you read "The Art of the Deal"
It's about pulling a con job.
He mentions in that book about how to lie, but that lies can't go on FOREVER without being partially fulfilled.
So TRUMPCARE is his partial fulfillment of universal healthcare.
Thank you for the article. Maybe I'm wrong, but if anything it supports my position regarding the fact that Obama Care passed without a single Republican vote using the nuclear option. Obama didn't need or even try very hard to gain any Republican support for it. He had the votes he needed.
My question is, why didn't he do this for universal healthcare? It could have been done. I don't think there was a single Democrat in Congress at that time that wouldn't have gone along with Obama.
Personally, I wished he had done it.

You're already paying double the average of all other developed nations for US healthcare. Unfortunately, the lack of competition in the health care sector makes it unique and different than most other sectors - otherwise I'd mostly agree. Healthcare is getting/will get too expensive for conservative ideologues too, and it'll probably get to you in time. But in the meantime you're free to blindly apply your broad views even where they can't work as is. I'm a lifelong conservative too BTW.
Nonsense. The ever escalating cost of US healthcare will force the issue eventually. The US is the only developed country without universal health care in some form, and our broken system costs us more than double the $ per capita than the average of all those other countries.
Hey, I agree with you and I'm a Rep and conservative with most issues. Nothing would make me happier than universal healthcare. Everyone is covered regardless of who you are.

You are playing checkers.
The game is chess.
That wasn't from Pravda. LOL
