Trump says ObamaCare replacement should come quickly

The Senate and House are expected to vote on the first step of the repeal process this week as part of a budget resolution known as reconciliation.

Trump said a delay would mean “weeks” at most.

Republicans must feel like the feisty little dog that finally caught one of those cars it always chases. “And rather than offer ideas, what we got was a big no”. “The President-elect looks forward to continuing the discussion about all aspects of Autism with many groups and individuals”, according to a Trump team statement.

“Not even a little bit”.

Trump said in the New York Times interview that a delay of that length was unacceptable. Paul tweeted Friday that he had just spoken to Trump who “fully supports [his] plan to replace Obamacare the same day we repeal it”. With the incoming administration, we have the opportunity to help the families struggling to find affordable health care by getting rid of this failed law. And where the nation’s mammoth health care system is concerned, you can’t leave people suspended between what has been and what will be.

Members of the House Freedom Caucus also said they were reluctant to go along with repealing ObamaCare until they know more about alternative plans.

“She got a cancer screening and she wouldn’t have gotten normally and she found out she had cancer“, said Bird.

“For the life of me, I can not figure out why anyone would want to take health insurance away from millions of people”. Many were already qualified for Medicaid. A plan that will make sure that nobody loses their health insurance.

On the immediate subject at hand, Trump’s been trying to tell congressional Republicans to be careful about inheriting a whirlwind by repealing Obamacare before a replacement is in place. “I’m going to take care of everybody”. There will be a stable transition period, and once repeal is passed, we will turn to replacement policies that cost less and work better than what we have now. “The question is, can you really make that happen?” Sen. “Our hospitals needed Medicaid expansion”, Kasich told reporters last week. Nine had Democratic congressional leadership, while eight were led by Republicans.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress want to keep the focus on Obamacare’s problems and reassuring constituents that they’ll have a plan.

Budget legislation can pass the Senate with a majority of 51 votes rather than the normal 60 needed for nearly everything else.

Cornyn would not specify which provisions of the law could be replaced immediately, largely because it depends on what would be allowed under Senate budget rules.

But passing a replacement is another story.

It’s also not clear Democrats in Congress would cooperate with Republicans on replacement legislation.

About 11 million got commercial health plans previous year through HealthCare.gov and similar state-based insurance marketplaces created through the law.

Franken’s point was that Republicans are making a lot of promises, but the one thing that we haven’t seen is a plan. Tom Price, his nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, Seema Verma, his pick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and Vice President-elect Mike Pence to discuss the push to repeal and replace the law. Other reasons voters stated were that the law was forced on them (15 percent), that it does not work (12 percent), and that “Obama lied” (4 percent).
