News going around today is that Trump is pissed off at Reince Priebus and Paul Ryan for steering him wrong on health care and causing a conflict with the Freedom Caucus. Looks like Trump and Mike Pence have begun to wise up a bit, as Pence has presented a new ObamaCARE replacement bill to the Freedom Caucus to win their support. You have to know that Trump isn’t going to take the one set back on RyanCARE and let it stick. If wonder if this will piss off leftist Democrats as much as his eating with his wife does. Personally, I want full ObamaCARE repeal. But i also understand that in leftist shitholes like California, New York, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington, they like ObamaCARE and it’s high premiums. Let the leftist cesspool states keep ObamaCARE if they want and get rid of it’s problems everywhere else. You know that men need maturity care in states like California, Illinois and New York. That’s just how liberal “men” are.
Mike Pence presents Freedom Caucus with ObamaCare replacement bill |
---|
Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials presented an idea to the Freedom Caucus meeting to allow states to choose to apply for waivers to repeal two ObamaCare regulations that conservatives argue are driving up premiums.
Those two regulations detail ObamaCare’s essential health benefits, which mandate which health services insurers must cover, and “community rating,” which prevents insurers from charging sick people higher premiums.
Conservatives had previously called for the bill to repeal those regulations outright, but the deal now being discussed would give states a choice by allowing them to apply for a waiver from the federal government.
Freedom Caucus members expressed openness to the proposal, but cautioned that they need to review the legislative text, which they hoped would be available within the next 24 hours.
Multiple lawmakers said the White House is hoping to have a vote as soon as this week, though Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), the Freedom Caucus chairman, cautioned against setting “artificial” deadlines.
