whats the replacement jail bird? Grampa Murked U

Buy your own insurance like most Americans did before you made us pay for theirs.
Also price plans for medical care need to be public. Why do different people pay different amounts for the same procedure? When you ask for a price the response should be a dollar figure not "what insurance do you have"

Does not seem like a good idea....so they remove all the subsidies....what's going to happen to the people who depend on those to get insurance?

Not to mention - if they want to reinvent the wheel and replace it with a new plan, they don't have enough votes with out Democrats joining in.

Republicans Take The First Step To Repeal Obamacare

Republicans have to use a special legislative maneuver, called a budget resolution, to undo the ACA because they don't have enough votes to overcome a Democratic filibuster in the Senate. Budget bills aren't subject to filibuster, so lawmakers will be able to repeal the parts of the law that have budget and tax implications.


That means they can essentially gut the law, removing all the subsidies that help low- and middle-income people buy health insurance and getting rid of the smorgasbord of taxes — on medical devices, insurance companies and wealthy individuals — that pay for those subsidies


Enzi's resolution calls on the Senate to get a bill to the Senate Budget Committee by Jan. 27.


Republican lawmakers say they don't want the 20 million people who have newly gained insurance because of the ACA to lose their coverage. So they plan to phase out Obamacare over time while they devise a replacement plan that they say will make affordable health insurance available to everyone, without the much-hated mandate to buy insurance if you don't want it.


Many analysts are skeptical that this "repeal and delay" strategy will work.


"The most likely end result of 'repeal and delay' would be less secure insurance for many Americans, procrastination by political leaders who will delay taking any proactive steps as long as possible, and ultimately no discernible movement toward a real marketplace for either insurance or medical services," said Joe Antos and James Capretta of the conservative American Enterprise Institute in a blog published Tuesday in Health Affairs.​

There are plenty of Democrats that want to make major changes to the abortion commonly known as obamacare. The Democrats have a choice here. they can come to the table and not filibuster or see the ACA defunded with a simple majority vote.

Or - they can fix the parts that are problematic. Most of the measures have widespread popular approval. It seems utterly wastefull to reinvent it and then take years to implement it and then more years to fix the inevitable bugs. In the meantime - the people will likely be the losers.

So they defund it. Are all these people going to lose insurance?

So they repeal it en masse as one member suggest and replace with nothing - not only will all those people lose insurance but those with pre-existing conditions won't be able to get any insurance.

And isn't the Medicaid expansion one of the measures they are eager to nix?

Yes, because the federal government right now funds 95% of the cost of the Medicaid. So if they defund the program, ALL those people lose their coverage.

Repeal and replace with nothing.

That would be political suicide since a lot of Americans would lose their insurance.

Millions already did lose their insurance because of Obamacare. And since the majority of Americans have hated Obamacare since it's inception there will be very little political impact.

You'd think the Dims would have learned since they've gotten killed in 3 out of the last 4 elections and seen majorities in the House and Senate evaporate.

But I wouldn't hold my breath.

The repeal should not go into effect until a new plan is ready to be launched.

Again, you realize it only takes 3 dissenting Repubs to stop it? 3 out of 52?

Yep, because it's an off budget and mandatory spending.

Even if there is a new plan it will be defunded over time...Why don't they go after the high cost of healthcare and medications...Fuckin Crooks
