remove health insurance for 20 million Americans

I don't care if i can't afford health insurance

The proposal is to eliminate ten essential benefits that, according to the Affordable Care Act, must be offered as part of any insurance plan. Those benefits are:
•Outpatient care without a hospital admission, known as ambulatory patient services
•Emergency services
•Hospitalization
•Pregnancy, maternity, and newborn care
•Mental health and substance use disorder services, including counseling and psychotherapy
•Prescription drugs
•Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices, which help people with injuries and disabilities to recover
•Laboratory services
•Preventive care, wellness services, and chronic disease management
•Pediatric services, including oral and vision care for children

In other words, all potential benefits of health insurance, like covering hospitalization and prescription drugs, gone in favor of some sort of ridiculous a la carte system where men don't have to pay for maternity benefits but women would have to pay for men's boner pills if they wanted prescription drug coverage. Apparently men don't have anything to do with pregnancy, either.

This is Paul Ryan's nirvana right here, and apparently it's enough to get the Freedom Caucus on board.

We dodged a huge bullet in that Trump is completely incompetent.

Part of Trump's brilliant plan. He knew it would not pass, therefore, he will let Obummercare implode on it's own and then get everything he wanted to pass.

Also, there is language in Obummercare that refers to a "as the HHS secretary sees fit", etc. Well the current HHS has the power to gut Obummercare on his own based on this language that gives him broad powers to implement changes.

It also shows that Ryan is incompetent. He is suppose to be the guy who gets things done. The enforcer so to speak.

A gov't official that sets out to sabotage an official gov't law. Where is THAT in the Constitution? Will he write out this order in Russian???

kingtut is demonstrating what is so pathetic about the liberals way of thinking. They can't even comprehend people helping the needy WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT! The government is the only one in the mindset capable of helping the needy. If an individual wants to help WITHOUT GOVERNMENTAL INTERFERENCE...then the libs accuse them of hating the poor and being "fake" Christians. This inability to separate government involvement in helping the needy shows how mentally blind they are.

They need to just repeal without replacement. Let the market sort it out. There would be a period of pain before improvement.

Healthcare is a basic human right. Meaning, anyone who wants it has the right to seek it by there own means, not by government mandate.

A cooperative model with direct individual and employer payments to networks comprised of GP's, specialists, pharmaceuticals and hospitals would be a good working model. Cut out the middlemen and excessive regulations to just pay for healthcare.

Basketball fans tonight in several Republican-adjacent TV markets are enjoying a series of ads, prematurely bought by the American Action Network PAC, inviting viewers to call their representatives to thank them for repealing Obamacare today—something that did not happen.

The government should spend the time/effort/money it would spend on single-payer to instead actually DO the anti-trust enforcement it DOES have a constitutional duty to accomplish.
