"GOP cave on Obamacare repeal is the biggest broken promise in political history"

[Truth Detector]

It's not as if the Republicans didn't want to repeal ACA, they just never made any serious plan to do so. Partly this was because ACA is a market-based program designed by the Heritage Foundation, i.e. a Republican approach to healthcare, partly it was because Ryan is inept and Trump lazy and inexperienced. But mostly it was because the Republican Party, deafened by its own propaganda, convinced itself that ACA is "a disaster" and that most voters want to dump it. When they found out that both those assumptions were false, Trump and the GOP didn't know whether to scratch their watches or wind their asses. Pathetic, and with a long-term price they have only begun to pay.

More lies and distortions; you're quite FULL of them BillTard.

Regarding the claim that "If you like your Doctor, you can keep him"...

Obama, in a Nov. 4, 2013, speech, tried to explain his past promises by saying “what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.” Asked when the president had previously included that detail, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, in a Nov. 5 press briefing, said Obama was referring to the law’s clause allowing insurers and employers to “grandfather” plans offered before the bill became law.

“The president was referring to the law and to the fact that the law was written in a way — and everybody who closely covered the drafting of that legislation knew it was written about — that the grandfathering clause was in the law, and he was referring to the implementation of that law through the rule process,” Carney said.

Grandfathered health plans do not have to meet all of the law’s new coverage requirements. But in order to be grandfathered, health plans must have existed on March 23, 2010. Those with individual grandfathered plans had to have them before the law took effect. And to maintain their grandfathered status, the plans must not be changed to cut benefits or significantly raise prices for consumers through deductibles or co-pays.

Except the private insurance companies, understanding what a golden opportunity they had been given to make Obama look like a liar, CHANGED the policies just enough to keep them from being grandfathered.

More dishonest dumbfuckery; Obama trying to walk back his lies and you stupidly think this makes it less of a lie.

You really are too stupid for words asshat.

??? Pls don't blame rumpf for this!!!!

When he said he had a plan, what he was really saying was he was going to have a plan & after spending several hours on it he concluded it was hard(who knew) so he delegated it to ryan..

So to try & imply rumpf or his plan failed is just fake news, bull shit, he didn't even have a plan

Yup, we can hold Obama responsible for not taking into consideration just how deep insurance corporation greed ran and how willing they were to screw over their customers for increased profits.

BAD Obama for assuming corporate America might look beyond the almighty dollar to actually give a shit about their fellow Americans.

There you go again; after getting called on your repugnant dishonesty, you attempt to move the goal posts.

You are a champion of the never ending circle of stupidity. Shame on those who venture into it with a dishonest asshat like you.

They should do like I do and just point at your repugnant stupidity and laugh.

They too underestimated the GREED of insurance corporation CEO's.

The Party of the Jackass are the one's enriching the Insurance companies you ignorant dunce.

Yep, in liberal loony land, companies are not in business to make money; they should all be charities. That's the uneducated stupidity you get from the Party of the Jackass these days.

I was wondering when you would make the Dumbfuck list. By the content of your posts, I knew it would be only a matter of time. Congrats, Dumbfuck. You are right up there with that idiot, Granule, and other illiterate fucktards.

This from the repugnant asshat at the top of the list. You really are too stupid to comprehend the OBVIOUS shit-for-brains.

 

[Truth Detector]

Really? I and most Americans could do just that. Go to any insurer and buy what you wanted or needed. Apparently you have always need some sort of government assistance. Not many choices that way huh?

No you cannot; and making such a false asinine claim merely removes any doubt what a dishonest idiot you really are.

 

[Granule]

Still can't even get the name of the party correct, can you ignorant fuck?

Dismissed retard.

It's the democrat party, you puckered asshole. Everyone knows there's nothing democratic about today's democrat party.

How many times must I beat that through your fatty, bulbous, head?

The AHCA fiasco comes from a flaw buried deep in the foundation of the conservative movement, which has become an uneasy coalition of populist demagogues and fiscal conservatives. The fiscal conservatives have a coherent ideology about small government and individual responsibility operating with a framework of largely unregulated markets. The great problem is that the living standards it creates for a majority of Americans have not been satisfactory and the cheerful optimism of the Reagan era has faded.

Against this backdrop, conservative talk radio has rallied large numbers of America's discontented, focusing their frustration on superficial social changes in the role of women, blacks and Mexican immigrants. Their skillful oratory has energized a powerful voter group but their plans are really just vague but exciting fantasy panaceas.

Into this chaos comes a narcissistic billionaire opportunist whose policies are those his class but whose rhetoric is that of TEA Party populism. Neither his experience on TV nor the eight year long "just say 'no'" strategy of the GOP in Congress has prepared him for the complex task of putting together an administration and working up a program that would bridge the gap between his big business base and the Freedom Caucus fiscal conservatives whose vote is necessary to pass bills. "Nobody knew it was going to be so complicated!" At least Donald Trump had no idea how complicated actually governing through the fractured Republican Party was going to be. He is beginning to find out.

More mindless blather from a typical defeatocrat. Trump was put in to shake things up for the better, and it's way, WAY, too early to be wringing our hands in abject terror. But then, genuine concern is not your problem, is it?


Just shut the fuck up, Mr. President, and toe the line. We've got a country to bleed.

so they didn't do anything to make sure if I liked my policy I could keep it, even though they said it......sort of sounds like a lie them, doesn't it........

They thought they had done enough to counter any greedy insurance company cash grab.

They didn't truly understand the depths of GOP greed.

You are woefully misinformed. You could not go to ANY insurer and buy ANY policy you wanted

1) you couldn't buy across state lines
2) every state regulated what you could buy

How could you not know this? Please stop embarrassing yourself.

Not sure what kind of low rent district you still reside in, but you could and still can go to ANY insurer and buy ANY policy you want. Not you obviously......

I think that Thomas Massie and the freedom caucus, along with Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and all other conservatives and republicans that voted against this bill stood not only on solid principle but also made it clear to president Trump and leadership that not everybody on the right will simply just go along with bad plans and they also won't be bullied into defying their principles and the constitution by people like Steve Bannon or given false blame for things like funding planned parenthood.I hope they continue to fight for a repeal and hold the president to it. It's worth the fight in my opinion.

Now they are on the sh*t list & we will see what they are truly made of... My guess is the man ya'll voted for is going to go after~attack them in the same mean & childish manner he has everyone that has opposed him in any way...

Lest we forget

 

[PostmodernProphet]

My guess is

you have to guess, because Demmycrats haven't got the brains to think anything through.....
