Bye Bye to Obama's one "Signature" achievement - FAILBAMACARE going away

[Howard]

I'm not on Obamacare per se.
I just said my plan is compliant (as are all plans) with the law

I'm on Kaiser group plan (through professional association) and my monthly premium 396.75 and last year it was 395.58

I welcome Trump and the Republicans to improve on coverage and lower rates .

I think we'd all like that and I'm sure Trump and his "very good brain" know exactly how to do that

On the campaign trail , Trump promised to dump Obama-care and replace with something GREAT.

Sounds like the plan to me !

Except obama promised to lower it $2500 a year and you could keep your plan if you wanted to.   Both of those - exact opposite occurred.   

 

Yes, that is correct he did say that and the exact opposite happened.  But that is not Obama's fault.  That is 100% corporate greed.

As I have said many times before, the healthcare industry does need to be overhauled and reformed, but the best way to do that is to start with existing healthcare plans and regulate them in a way that prevents the companies from setting their own prices and jacking up the premiums for any reason they wish (like with pre existing conditions.)

President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter Thursday morning to slam Obamacare and Democrats, saying members of Congress from both sides of the aisle need to work together to come up with a better health care plan.

Trump said Democrats, led by “head clown Chuck Schumer,” understand how bad the law is, but they’re not trying to work and fix it. Instead, all they’re doing is blaming, he added...

Schumer: I Wish Democrats Hadn’t Triggered the ‘Nuclear Option’

Incoming Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says he regrets a 2013 decision by Senate Democrats, known as the “nuclear option” to decrease the number of senators needed to confirm Cabinet picks from 60 to 51 votes.

“I wish it hadn’t happened,” Schumer said in an interview with CNN, about the move that was triggered by former Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid (D-NV).

The move is dubbed the “nuclear option” because by altering the filibuster rules it stands to blow up bipartisan Senate relations.

“I argued against it at the time,” Schumer said. “I said both for Supreme Court and in Cabinet should be 60, because on such important positions there should be some degree of bipartisanship. I won on Supreme Court, lost on Cabinet. But, that’s what we have to live with now.”

Republicans hold a 52-48 majority in the new Senate which means they already have the number needed to confirm Trump’s nominees without the Democrats. However, the Democrats have still vowed to fight against the picks. Schumer and his fellow Democratic senators will aggressively target eight of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, which he refers to as “rigged.”

“If Republicans think they can quickly jam through a whole slate of nominees without a fair hearing process, they’re sorely mistaken,” Schumer said recently...
