This is the bill that should have been put forward. Forget the 'replace' part of the campaign promise.
If President Trump does not support and help ram through this repeal, I am done with him.
U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, introduced the bill Friday.
"This Act may be cited as the 'Obamacare Repeal Act,'" the bill states.
And the bill uses just one sentence to do it.
"Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted," the bill states.
And that's it - one sentence.

ReplyDeleteSuddenly, Both Obamacare Repeal And Trump Tax Reform Are Dead
Rep. Patrick McHenry, a member of House Republican leadership said lawmakers need a "cooling off period" over the two-week break. "We need people to stop, take a deep breath, and think through the way to yes."
McHenry, the chief deputy whip, told reporters that calls from the conservative House Freedom Caucus to allow states to apply for waivers to repeal ObamaCare protections for people with pre-existing conditions are a "bridge too far for our members" and can't get enough votes to pass.
In other words, despite the White House's stated desire to get a vote off by Friday, Obamacare repeal is dead for the foreseeable future.

Ryan says tax reform could take longer than healthcare overhaul
On Wednesday afternoon, the House speaker said that tax reform will take longer to accomplish than repealing and replacing Obamacare would, saying Congress and the White House were initially closer to agreement on healthcare legislation than on tax policy.
"The House has a (tax reform) plan but the Senate doesn't quite have one yet. They're working on one. The White House hasn't nailed it down," Ryan told an audience in Washington.
"So even the three entities aren't on the same page yet on tax reform," he added.

Translation: both healthcare and tax reform are now indefinitely dead, which means that a suddenly pivoting Trump, who earlier today said he had "changed his mind" on Syria, may have no choice but to begin war with Assad to distract from everything else that is going on in the US.
