Obamacare Lite is out!

Norah said:
The republicans passed a repeal of Obamacare in both the house and the senate when Obama was still president. Now that they also have then executive branch under their control why aren't they pushing that repeal again? Why just alter a universal healthcare system to be a little less obama-ish?

That was easy when they knew it had no chance of passing

really? Trump needs to step up and demand that..
There is also a reduction to Medicade expansion ( if you can follow that) which is fine for cutting back
on Obama care as an entitlement ( which it is) but leaves states hanging.

At this point I'd be just as reckless with the deficit as the Dems and keep the expansion-
or they are gonna lose support )
 
No tax break if you chose a plan that provides for abortion services.... Talk about limiting choice.

Not as good? Anything is better than Obamacare as it was you buffoon.

This is what happens when you try to do something moderate, or meet in the middle. The left still mocks you and calls you a moron for trying. They can't be bargained or compromised with.

It's not the product of compromise. It is the product of not having had an actual plan.

He did promise healthcare that would cover everyone, which is not something most conservative republicans would promise, although he never went into detail about what that meant to him.

well, if you want to get technical about it, I can promise healthcare that "covers everyone". that doesn't mean the gobblement has to pay for it.

Now I know that is the accepted notion by our friends on the left, but..................

He said that the Government would have to pay for some of it.

What do you mean that was the easy part? It wasn't repealed or even really replaced. The individual mandate was removed but in its place they put a large penalty on a person's premium if they don't have insurance over a certain amount of time. That's not really getting rid of the mandate it's just changing how the penalty is enforced isn't it? They didn't change the competing across state lines part since he says that in the next round, and they still have the tax credits which is just another form of entitlement/subsidies. What's changed? If by easy you mean just keeping obamacare and changing the paint color then absolutely.
