    ACA is certainly flawed, but why doesn’t Trump and his regime explain the details of their replacement program? The Republican critics of ACA have had 8 years to perfect their replacement.

      No explanation for Republicans was deemed necessary by Obama, Reid and Pelosi Galore (“We have to pass it to find out what’s in it”).

      Are you saying you’re a hypocrite?

      No explanation is forthcoming from Republicans now because there are several plan proposals that have to be considered and pieced together for the best solution to a HYUUUUGE mess left behind by Obama and the Dems who previously controlled BOTH chambers of Congress.

      CAN YOU POST ANYTHING OTHER THAN MINDLESS LIBITTERAL TALKING POINTS?

            TrumPolar, you’re the one who swore that Trump was going to reveal the new plan an January 20th. Do you remember that? You said just wait until January 20th. Now, put up or shut up. We don’t need any more of your lies.

            So, he didn’t follow the plan ETA outlined by one of my associates/ colleagues in the know. Big deal. That doesn’t invalidate the plans or my point.

            More details are being put into the plan, which requires state by state legislation. Dem controlled states are most likely the source of the delay. Tort reform for med mal and changes in licensing of HI cos. by state must be aligned before any plan is put forth before Congress. Blame the foot dragging, obstructionist Dem governors and legislatures in Blue states for the delay.

            Continuing to argue based on a soft deadline is a sign of immaturity and frustration by Libitterals. The meltdown continues, yet unabated by the eventual realization of the inevitable replacement plan that will gradually, over a few years, fix most of the mess left behind by Obama, Jarrett, Pelosi-Galore, Reid, Gruber, Emmanuel, and the other ‘amateurs’.

            Finally, NO ONE reading these boards has a RIGHT to know anything about the Replacement plan. NO ONE. So, due to the veracity of attacks, I won’t reveal anything else about HEALTH CARE SPECIFICCS until the planS are revealed in the near future.

            Classic troll move – make an unsubstantiated claim and when someone asks for evidence to support the claim you just made, demand they find it themselves.

            I’m sure if we reply with “I couldn’t find anything to support your argument” Yogi would post “You don’t know how to google, you’re checking fake news sites, and I don’t have time to teach you how to find things. (insert multiple insults here).”

            Tort reform is required for med mal insurance reform and savings that will decrease health care costs.

            Licensing of health insurers must also be changed, state by state, to increase competition and availability of coverage.

            So, state by state legislation is needed for two components of ‘health insurance reform’.

            Why is that so difficult for Libitterals to comprehend and accept as a FACT of legal procedures?

            Since it has now been explained above, I’m not going to track down ANY info about state by state legislative actions being planned. Libitterals who don’t have any work to do can search for details – – – which are not being publicized now…. LOL!

            You won’t reveal anything because you DON’T HAVE anything, just as you didn’t have anything back in December.

            They don’t need state approval in order to pass their “plan”. All they have to do is vote on the “plan” in Congress, where they have full control, then send it to the Draft-Dodger-in-Chief’s desk for his signature.

          It IS a mindless conservative talking point, unless you posted that with the knowledge of what she said before that sentence which was basically “the plan will be amended during the house & senate review, so we can’t know all the details of the plan until those unknown amendments have been voted on.”

          Did you understand that subtle context existed when you posted the comment? If not, you are just posting mindless conservative talking points.

          If you REALLY think she didn’t provide the bill to the House of Representatives & the Senate for a full review of the entire plan before there was a vote on it, you do not know how government works.

    @ Boonedoggle – I agree that they should have been working on a replacement for a long time. Since they didn’t, I don’t want them rushing through and putting together a substandard law just to say “they replaced it”. They need to get it right and make sure no one who finally bought healthcare loses it.

      @Ron; your hyperbole and lies about the Trump Admin and Republicans is tiresome. Get a new act.

      There are many possibilities being discussed to replace ACA. The fact is that there cannot be a sustainable fix to the problem through ONE Congressional bill. State legislators are being brought in to fix things in their states.

      Multiple steps are involved. I laugh everytime I read posts like yours because I’ve seen some of the proposals to fix things, and MANY of the things that must be fixed were due to ACA.

      Costs will be addressed over time, and not through a single bill.

      Libitterals can on now say “Where is the Republican Plan?” The answer is … in state legislatures. Figure that out, if you can.

            “… to hold him unaccountable for past actions…”

            Would that be just like Obama didn’t want to hold FULLY accountable (to an adjudicated court sentence) the criminals he pardoned?

            Yes, Ron… Obama is a failed ex-POTUS.

            But YOU and other Libitterals started discussing PAST LIES by Trump. Further, you won’t trust anything he will say in the FUTURE. EVERYONE has lied in the past, including you, so you must be a hypocrite if you want people to believe what you are NOW saying.

            Now that you’ve been boxed into a corner on that issue by me, you want to discuss something else… to avoid further mention of the flaw in your logic, or your hypocrisy. Got it!

            So, you are holding him accountable for his past lies UNTIL he does something in the future that you like. That means you will ALWAYS hold him accountable for his past lies.

            Did you ever lie in the past? If not, you are ONE TO JUDGE Trump. Otherwise, you need to let go of past lies just as you have let go of your past lies… or be a hypocrite. Your choice.

            Yes, we all have lied in the past. But Candidate/ President-elect/President Trump has been proven to lie in about 70% of what he has said. He will even deny that he has said things that are recorded.

            Go ahead, keep blindly supporting and trusting our president. Unlike you, I believe people should earn trust.

            OK, Politifacts is the source. But how reliable are they? and did they actually do the poll?

            You realize that several fact checkers are biased leftward, don’t you?

            Example:

            ” My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months.”

            — Donald Trump on Sunday, January 29th, 2017 in a statement.

            Politifacts rates this as mostly false.

            Missing in their assessment is the importance of the word ‘similar’ in Trumps’ statement.

            Please refer to a dictionary to learn the meanings of ‘similar’ and ‘same’.

        TrumPolar, Ron just loves to use his pet word games and has been doing it for years. Bob calls him out every time and he can’t stand the heat and eventually goes away only to return on the next article to do the same thing. He is an Obama lover who thinks the American people are too stupid to understand the biggest disaster of a law ever passed.

        Everyone remembers Obama coming out after his first shellacking in the mid terms and saying – “maybe we just didn’t explain it well enough”. I am afraid the folks did “get” all the lies and did understand it well enough and that is why it was rejected then and now.

    BO Care economics are amazing!! How was it ever considered solvent? The young person’s premium supports the old person’s medical expense. The older person does not pay a higher premium, Medicaid pays less of their expenses, and young people are subsidized by the federal govt and pay lower premium. They in turn have a very high deductible and insurance they can’t use. They don’t go to the doctor cause they can’t pay the subsidized premium, much less a 100% of the cost of the doctor visit.

    So the federal govt is paying premiums for insureds of all ages, insureds are paying premiums they can’t afford for insurance they can’t use. The insurance companies are strapped for cash cause they have to apply a higher percentage in patient care. Maybe they need better accountants????

    The federal govt should save money, remove BO Care from every record except what not to do in the future and assist the elderly with their medical benefits. Hospitals and doctors will go after the young for their major medical expenses as they’ve always done. My insurance premium goes down, yours goes down and our deductibles return to a level below the value of my first car.

            Google searches yield a broad range of results, many of which are not credible. The ranking of items in Google search lists are not indicative of credibility of the items at the top versus lower in the list. Ask Google to disclose their criteria for ranking the results on any search using their ‘engines’. Let us know what they tell you. Thanks.

            I am not a liberal (didn’t vote for Obama or Clinton, voted Republican in the last 8 mid-term elections) but Rasmussen’s poll only asked 1,000 people.

            Even if we only count “potential voters” as those who actually voted in the last presidential election (138,884,643), Rasmussen polled 0.00072% of those who voted last election

            0.00072% of actual voters were polled. This is not a large enough sample size to extrapolate that their findings are indicative of the entire American voting public, let alone all Americans.

            Polls do not require a full accounting of all members of a pool to be valid. Of course, statistical variations are possible, and may skew a poll. But a poll with such a WIDE difference between one choice and the polar opposite, with the specific sample size, is highly accurate. The underlying truth for the whole population is not likely to be at variance with the polled sample results.

            The 24% gap in the Rassmussen poll results (57% vs 33%) for a poll with a MoE of +/-3% at 95% implies virtually no chance the poll results are incorrect as regards public opinion on the matter.

            Yours are Straw Man Arguments which are not worth discussing any further, either due to you ‘baiting the discussion’ with incorrect assumptions, ignorance, lies, or all three.

            “The underlying truth for the whole population is not likely to be at variance with the polled sample results.”

            Unless you know the demographics of who was polled, this statement is impossible to verify.

            Say they polled 1,000 conservatives – this WOULD vary from the whole population as liberals weren’t polled.

            Say they polled 1,000 white christian males – this WOULD vary from the whole population as other religions and genders weren’t polled.

            Tell us what demographics were polled to support your argument that it’s a fair sample size reflective of the entire country.

            Go ask Rasmussen for details.

            They DON’T poll people in a biased manner. If you believe they do, it is YOUR duty to prove so, rather than introduce it as a possible reason to invalidate their poll.

            You are now arguing for the sake of arguing. Find an idiot to continue such a line of discussion; I’ve got other, important things to do other than discredit you and your claims.

    Mexico has a wall on their southern border with Guatemala.

    Mexico opposes a wall on their northern border, with the USA.

    Libitterals oppose construction of a Wall on the US-Mexico border on the basis of false narratives and ignorance of facts.

    Libitterals who now continue to oppose a Wall, after being informed of the Mexico/ Guatemala border wll, are displaying their hypocrisy on this matter.

          WALL is not the operative word.

          FENCE is equivalent to WALL as it serves the same purpose.

          FENCE DOESNT run along the ENTIRE border. It only runs near populated areas.

          The BASIC POINT is valid; Mexico has a FENCE to prevent ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION from Guatemala.

            We just disproved there is no wall all along the border as you suggested. We, too, have walls in areas along our border. So, your point again is? It’s moot anyhow, Yogi. If Mexico jumped off a bridge, I wouldn’t suggest we do.

    ACA repeal is just ONE example of how TrumPresident will follow the Will of The People.

    Republicans just approved several Cabinet member nominees without Dems present to vote as payback for their (Dems) delays and obstruction.

    The nuclear option is on the table for the Gorsuch vote. But, to date, 7 Dem Senators up for re-election in RED states recently won by TrumPresident have already pledged to vote FOR Gorsuch.

    Libitterals: the SCOTUS will have 5 or 6 Conservative Justices for the rest of our lifetimes, and no obstructionist efforts or protests by Libitterals can stop it. Elections have consequences.
