Trump to Senate Republicans: kill Obamacare now, replace later - Polidicks

[quote]U.S. President Donald Trump urged Republican senators on Friday to repeal Obamacare immediately if they cannot agree on a new healthcare plan to replace it, potentially sowing confusion as congressional leaders struggle for a consensus on healthcare legislation. Senate Republican leaders had set Friday as the target for rewriting legislation that would repeal extensive parts of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, the law dubbed Obamacare that expanded health insurance coverage to 20 million people. But that deadline seemed unlikely given that by Friday most senators had already left town ahead of next week's recess without an agreement on a clear direction for the healthcare bill.[/quote] [url]http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-healthcare-idUSKBN19L1F6?il=0[/url]

It's incredible that after almost eight years of constant himming and hawing there isn't a viable Republican option. They can't even seem to get anything that's palatable for their rabid base, given how the recent attempts were received.

"I don't care if it'll fuck 20+ millions of people over, I want it GONE because obummer's in the name" -republicans; donny rump

Of course they can't agree on a replacement, because they don't want one. And this shows they just want healthcare gone, I doubt they will replace it if it's repealed.

Donald Trump and republicans only care about healthcare inasmuch they can squeeze profits from it and fuck over people who cant afford it. This is a travesty and something should be done about these scum soon.

...or fix the one already in place?

I urge Donald Trump to quit the presidency now and try to enact more executive powers later

What a great dealmaker. When Congressional Republicans make him look bad, he tells them to cut corners and work on half the job in order to rush something through so his government accomplishes [I]something[/I] before the 4th of July. I'm sure "Trump wants to slash health insurance and worry about a replacement later" is gonna play [I]great[/I] back at home over the 4th of July.

That wont work either. There are enough moderate Republican senators that see the Medicare expansions in their states that came from the ACA as a net plus that they'd vote down a full repeal without a replacement just as they'd vote down the bill in it's current state.

[QUOTE=AnnieOakley;52418955]The ironic thing is that he survived polio.

Previous illness doesnt factor in there.

Oh so after like 7 years of being massive bitch babies they still don't have any tangible replacement ideas? Really goes to show how competent the party must be.

[QUOTE=F.X Clampazzo;52418969]Oh so after like 7 years of being massive bitch babies they still don't have any tangible replacement ideas?

And when you think of it, there are many republican voters who don't like Trump's plans for medicaid either.

[QUOTE=F.X Clampazzo;52418969]Oh so after like 7 years of being massive bitch babies they still don't have any tangible replacement ideas? Really goes to show how competent the party must be.[/QUOTE] Yet people keep voting for them.

[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;52419110]I call BS, if he made any deal with Nurgle he should be a disease ridden lump by now[/QUOTE] Judging by the picture given in this thread, he must have traded his chin and jaw to uphold the bargain.

Shit all over Obamacare for 7+ years Finally it's your turn to run things the way you've envisioned it for all those years "Ehh, this shit is complicated, just end coverage for everyone and we'll worry about it later."

[QUOTE=AnnieOakley;52418955]The ironic thing is that he survived polio. He of all people should want to keep people healthy, but instead he wants to fuck over millions.[/QUOTE] It could be possible that he and others sincerely believe that the ACA is not helping to keep people healthy.

[QUOTE=Chonch;52419580]It could be possible that he and others sincerely believe that the ACA is not helping to keep people healthy.[/QUOTE] So the solution is to remove it entirely? That's like getting a cut on your hand and amputating your arm to "fix" it.

There can be no plan, and these people could die from their diseases due to not being able to afford medical care. They just don't care.
