Donald Trump: I may not repeal Obamacare

Fenton said:
He's actually said he would support these two provisions before so this should be news to no one.

ObamaCare's disintegrating before our eyes so I think even Hillary would have been forced to gut it.

Good riddance and finally this monkey is off the backs of the Democrats back

LOL.....the only thing that he is going to get rid of is the Republican idea of the Insurance mandate. He'll have to replace it with something......maybe we'll get the public option that was a better plan to begin with.

Yes, ObamaCare is the GOPs fault.....:roll: Hillary should have brought that up before Tuesday, she might have been able to hold onto Michigan at least.

For some reason she didn't

The most misleading title of a tread I have ever seen. The policies of "cant be turned down for preexisting conditions" and "stay on parents insurance to age 26" have nothing to with the substance of the Obamacare law. They are just propaganda talking points added to make this terrible law semi palatable.

Trump keeping them doesn't mean he is keeping Obamacare.

Knock it off, this type pf BS is why your side lost the election.

What do you get out of lying? Obamacare did not get a single GOP vote.

That's the core of the insurance reforms. Everything follows from that.

Nice attempt at spin and deflection. Never said that "Obamacare is the GOP's fault"....but make no doubt about it....the insurance mandate ABSOLUTELY was a Republican idea that was offered to appease the REpublicans and the blue dogs. Do your homework.

Yes they do. Democrats chose to pass it via Reconciliation, Republicans can get rid of it via Reconciliation.

The ACA passed with 60 votes in the Senate. There were some amendments passed by reconciliation. I'm not enough of a Senate rules expert to know what the Senate can and can't pass with reconciliation, but it's not at all clear that the ACA can be repealed with 50 votes plus Pence. From what I understand funding can be stripped that way, because as I understand it it's budget matters that can be passed only with a majority.

El Wrongo, O medical insurance breath. The GOP has the votes in both the House and Senate to repeal Obamacare. In the Senate, it will be introduced as a reconciliation bill, and that will avoid the filibuster. Trump will sign it too.

Obamacare is going bye bye.

I think you are wrong about using reconciliation to repeal the entire bill. I think all that can be done through reconciliation is gutting the bill and stripping it of its funding.

Problem is that Republicans don't have a replacement, except for one we have never seen, which they say is YUUGELY GOOD.

If that is just a talking point, then perhaps you have a link to the actual plan?

Nice try. Obamacare is as dead as Dog S**t and Obama is going down in history next to Carter as a failed President. Trumps is not even keeping the entire pre-existing condition part, it's just for people who had insurance and were forced to switch insurance companies.

It has been a failed talking point for years. Democrats and MSM outlets (but, I repeat myself) simply keep repeating the mantra that they-have-no-plan, indicating either A) they don't bother do do basic research or B) they are deliberately dishonest.

Generally, folks on here are a blend of both, with folks starting with A and then shifting to B via a goal-post move, eventually reaching okay-but-they-haven't-gotten-a-plan-that-passed-both-chambers-and-was-scored-by-the-CBO-and-then-gone-on-to-the-Presidents'-Desk. :roll:


The House has done some excellent work just this year as part of its Better Way.

It's neither, actually. A small group coming up with an outline of a plan, without much in the way of details, and not scored, or the costs estimated, and all the downsides just brushed away or entirely ignored, and that probably can't get a majority of the republicans in the House much less pass, is just an outline of something.

At worst, we have a different definition of what a "plan" is for this purpose. For the first time in January, the GOP will have to put their money where their mouths are and actually produce something. That's the first time we'll see an actual "plan" that means ANYTHING.

You (like the rest of us) don't have any idea what kind of "replace" "plan" will be on the table in January, which is our point.
