With Trump in lead, Republicans slog past party opposition to health reform plan
Republicans this week will push ahead with a healthcare reform proposal that they hope can win over reluctant conservatives with the help of President Trump and Air Force One.
Trump plans to head to Tennessee on Wednesday, where he'll hold a rally in Nashville.
"He's going to be very engaged in it," Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said after meeting with Trump last week about the proposal. "He's going to dedicate as much time to it as he can."
"Every conservative group out there is opposed to this legislation," Rep. Jim Jordan, a top member on the influential House Freedom Caucus, declared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" last week.
Never trust government when they say they'll do things in three phases. Usually they just do the first and the other two are left for some other congress to pick up and deal with, if ever. They need to repeal the whole thing without fail and ponder, do we need a replacement?
It's amazing how even conservatives are beginning to say 'What am I gonna git from the gummint?'
The 'gummint' getting involved in health care is what is ruining it. It started going downhill with medicare/medicaid, and now it's nearly gone.
The insurance industry needs to be straightened out so responsible individuals can buy policies that are fairly priced; the pharmaceutical industry needs to be reined in, and lawyers need to be taught restraint and get off the doctors' backs.
If these things can be done you should be able to buy a decent health insurance policy at a reasonable rate.
But you already have access to 'health care'. The discussion is about how you pay for it.
