Democrats see a winning issue in opposing GOP health bill

Brown called out Reps. Before the 2010 Affordable Care Act, the law that Trump and congressional Republicans are eager to dismantle, Americans with such medical challenges often could not get or afford insurance. The House passed the measure on Thursday.

That might seem self-evident, as it’s exactly what Republicans have been saying the past six years.

The plan is the culmination of Mr Trump’s long-standing vow to scrap Obamacare – the name by which Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act is commonly known.

“For the House leadership to proceed to a vote without an estimate, they are essentially arguing that the bill is so much like the previous one they don’t need an estimate, and yet, it is so much different that many more people should vote for it”, Elmendorf also told Politico.

“Despite these unreasonable demands, I will once again state that I am more than willing to work with my Democratic colleagues on tax reform, and I sincerely hope that at least some of them will be willing to do so”, Mr. Hatch, Utah Republican, said in a recent floor speech.

This just in: Health care is not a game. “This really helps it”, he says.

While New Jersey officials likely won’t seek waivers to allow insurers to sell bare-boned insurance policies and jack up rates for those with pre-existing conditions, the House Republicans’ health bill would hurt the state in many other ways.

“It’s up to the Senate to make improvements if they’re to be made”, he said.

“Nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care”, Labrador told the crowd, prompting an uproar that has since been replayed several times on cable television.

Trump celebrated its passage with House Republicans in the White House Rose Garden on Thursday, an unusual move following passage of a bill by one House of Congress.

You have to give them some credit for successfully passing this malignant tumor of a bill through the House; given his record as a legislative leader, I doubted Paul Ryan was capable of it.

“Meanwhile, the health care bill that the White House spent the weekend celebrating appears destined for the trash can on the other side of the Capitol”, wrote Politico’s Matthew Nussbaum.

The House has voted overwhelmingly to impose new sanctions on North Korea targeting its shipping industry and use of slave labor.

The president was an energetic cheerleader in the effort to round up House votes and promote the bill, but he was hardly attuned to the details.

“The House bill is not going to come before us”, Collins said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week”. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said such cuts would reduce support for hospitals, nursing homes and 7 million New Yorkers who rely on the program.

Ryan also insisted the bill’s stripping of $880 billion for Medicaid will somehow not damage anyone’s coverage – an essentially impossible promise. Well, they have now bought and paid for that title.

The fact is, few Republicans have even read the bill.

The Democrats and the media would have you believe that repealing and replacing ObamaCare means people with pre-existing conditions will never be able to get coverage.

Collins added that she would like to a bipartisan group of Senators take on health care, including Democrats who acknowledge problems with Obamacare and “Republicans who also want to make sure that we’re not reducing coverage and we’re giving flexibility”.

The GOP stuck to this strategy in the day the bill passed as well. The Senate plans to draft its own healthcare legislation in the coming weeks.

Feinstein said, “This is just come over to the Senate”.

Republican senators plan to write a health-care bill that could be radically different from the one passed last week by the House, including keeping some of the benefits and safeguards now enshrined within Obamacare.

The Senate is on track to deliver President Donald Trump the first significant legislation of his presidency.

The Senate should turn away this pay-more, get-less bill, no matter that Republicans have pushed to repeal Obamacare for seven years.

Even conservative Republicans, like Louisiana Sen.

Trump won $15 billion in additional Pentagon spending but was denied funding to begin construction work on his promised wall along the U.S. -Mexico border.

Still, take the changing forecasts as an early warning signal for the Republicans. “Then they pass a bill through the Senate and then you go to conference and iron out the differences”.

Trump spent his weekend tweeting Obamacare attacks, claiming that “insurance companies are fleeing for their lives”.
