Title: Health Care Legislation Stalls in the Senate
Post by: Straw Man on July 17, 2017, 08:08:49 PM
No need to worry though

Trump is the self proclaimed worlds greatest negotiator and all he has to negotiate with his own party so that should be pretty easy

On the campaign trail he told Trumptards that government is broken and that he alone could fix it

He also said that there will be insurance for everybody and healthcare will be a “lot less expensive” for everyone so he just needs to get his own party to do that.  Not sure why that is so difficult for Republicans to understand.  Just write that up and Trump is ready to sign it.

Seems like it's time for Trump to get off his fat ass and start his negotiating magic so that everyone can finally get the less expensive and very excellent health care that he promised

that's the only thing thought that bubbles up in your pumpkin sized noggin?

that's cool

I guess that means Trump will start his negotiating magic and very soon EVERYONE will have cheaper and better insurance just like he promised (of course that was before he said "no one knew how complicated this was" but don't worry about that)

You mean unlike Obamacare where there was no negotiation and just rammed down our throats despite overwhelming rejection of it? "You can read after it passes" face it, it was purposely set up to fail as an attempt to create a single payer

don't worry

Trump is a master at striking deals and all Repubs have to do is write legislation that gives everyone cheaper and better insurance

that should be a pretty easy sell for Trump

The Repubs can just write that up and Trumptard will sign it

they should do that tomorrow

This is an example of the demise of our political parties.

Instead of getting together and fixing the ACA, Trump and many Republicans want to pass a bill that would make healthcare worse.

I would be more than happy to give Trump/Republicans credit for making the ACA better but a good healthcare plan doesn't seem to be their priority.

You don't want national healthcare and that's fine but the Republicans have been running on it for about 8 years now.

By the way, the knock on the ACA is that it's too expensive not "free shit".

Hey Trumptards, try to remember what Retard in Chief promised on health care

1.  INSURANCE FOR EVERYBODY
2.  NO CUTS … TO MEDICAID
3.  NO ONE WILL LOSE COVERAGE
4.  NOBODY WILL BE WORSE OFF FINANCIALLY
5.  GET RID OF ARTIFICIAL LINES
6.  EVERYBODY’S GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF

Repubs just need to write a bill that does all of that and Trump will sign it

I don't see why this is taking so long.  Trump just needs to go to Congress and explain this to them using some of his negotiating magic and then Congress can write it up and Trump will sign it

No, no national health care. The only way to get health care as close to perfect as possible it has to be in a  free market. Government should have little involvement.

You're right, the Republicans have had eight years and they're not getting it done, it's on them.

1993: Health care takes center stage

President Bill Clinton took on an ill-fated effort to reform health care in 1993. As the president’s task force (led by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton) worked behind closed doors to craft solutions to ever-rising health care costs and a growing number of uninsured families, Republicans scrambled to forge an alternative.

Republican Sen. John Chafee of Rhode Island was the point man. The bill he introduced, Health Equity and Access Reform Today, (yes, that spells HEART) had a list of 20 co-sponsors that was a who’s who of Republican leadership. There was Minority Leader Bob Dole, R- Kan., Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Richard Lugar, R-Ind., and many others. There also were two Democratic co-sponsors.

Among other features, the Chafee bill included:

An individual mandate;

Creation of purchasing pools;

Standardized benefits;

Vouchers for the poor to buy insurance;

A ban on denying coverage based on a pre-existing condition.

"You would find a great deal of similarity to provisions in the Affordable Care Act," Sheila Burke, Dole’s chief of staff in 1993, told PunditFact via email. "The guys were way ahead of the times!! Different crowd, different time, suffice it to say."

Qualls said the Affordable Care Act "was the Republican plan in the '90s." The bill she had in mind did have a strong roster of Republicans behind it, and it did share many major features with the Affordable Care Act. There were some significant differences but in a side-by-side comparison, the similarities dominate.

Is it true that Mitch McCoward pulled his support regarding his own healthcare bill at the end?

Haven't heard that. I believe he pulled the bill because there were not enough votes to pass it. At least three Republican legislators publicly said they wouldn't vote to pass it.

WASHINGTON — One day after President Trump declared he wanted to let the current health care law fail, he pressed Republican senators to agree to an alternative plan to replace Obamacare before taking any August recess.

"I don't think we should leave town unless we have a health insurance plan," Trump said during a White House lunch attended by 49 of the 52 Republican senators. "We shouldn't leave town until this is complete, until this bill is on my desk."

But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was already hedging about whether that's possible.

He promised to hold a vote next week to debate a bill to simply repeal Obamacare – without a replacement – but it's not clear whether he even has the votes to do that. 

"It's pretty obvious we've had difficulty in getting 50 votes," McConnell said.
