Bu, bu, bu, but @FAH1223 told us the republicans were playing 3D chess. :gucci:


Trump is lazy

He's gonna tell his supporters he tried but Paul Ryan and Congressional GOP didn't have the guts to repeal/replace

And he will keep saying how the ACA is a disaster to galvanize his base

They've already stopped enforcement of the mandate and everything they're doing is to kill ACA.

Here is the shrewd calculation they're making. Introduce unrealistic bills that either die in the house or rejected with no votes from Democrats in the senate. While all this fukk shyt is happening, this causes insurers who need to adjust rates soon for the upcoming enrollment season in the fall to be weary so they will either rise prices due to the uncertainty of the environment and/or even more insurers bail from the market place or refuse to participate.

Republicans can give a shyt about care. With this in mind, this is a win win scenario from their perspective.

Either pass an unpassable bill in the house, fails in the senate, ACA effectively dies due to removing mechanisms that support it and then say "HA Told you that ACA was an awful plan! look at it!"

Or it fails in the house, ACA still dies due to the previous mentioned removing of supporting mechanisms and they say "HA told you that ACA was an awful plan! Look at it!"

There was a time I was naive and would believe the voting public was rational actors. But now I realize that they have the attention and memory of a gnat and with the right propaganda, the above tactics will be bought hook,line, and sinker by a large segment of the voting population. Especially their base.
You're giving them wayyy too much credit.

uh no. At the end of the day Republicans do not think Government should be involved in healthcare at all. They believe every thing should be privatized as much as possible and if that means a thousand people die in the mean time, that so be it.

They break things and stall government and then claim government doesn't work after they break it as a pretense to de-federalize further.

I find it necessary to point out again, that even if this doesn't pass, Republicans still win because during Trump's first week he told IRS to stop enforcing the mandate which helps brings funds into the pool thus depriving it of money. Secondly, there have been several actions by the Republican congress already such as not funding losses incurred by insurers to join the market place like was initially agreed upon. This is what causes insurers to start dropping from the market place and raising prices.

They will continue down this path until the ACA only exists in name only but there is no funding or anything underpinning it.

This is not giving them too much credit. This is their plan and their standard MO
