Rand Paul Says New GOP-Proposed Healthcare Plan Will Not Pass Congress

Rather, it’s all the GOP wanted to give us.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, flanked by fellow Republicans, discusses the Republican health care plan at a news conference on Tuesday, March 7, 2017. “So we’re just going to try to get all the facts behind what he’s proposing”. “As you know, it’s a legislative process that occurs.

Repealing ObamaCare has been a key facet of all our recent victories”, Paul wrote in a joint Fox News op-ed with Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.). This and more will be included in Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the new USA health care rollout. That will be the bill. “If they don’t have 218 votes, there will be a negotiation and conservatives will have a seat in the table”. “I think we’re going to have a tremendous success”.

The chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee says he has seen no evidence to support Trump’s allegation he was wiretapped by then-President Barack Obama during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Conservative dissent has raised questions about the role that President Donald Trump will play in ensuring the bill’s passage.

Paul said in an interview with Politico that is the message he reiterated to Trump when he spoke with him on the hone about the plan. It’s a good first step, they say.

The outreach effort also targeted the lawmakers who have expressed reservations.

Jordan and the thirty-something members of the House Freedom Caucus he co-founded aired a long list of grievances with the proposal. Paul has spoken with the president directly and with other administration officials about the legislation. Sen. She called it a “Make America Sick Again bill that hands billionaires a massive new tax break while shifting huge costs and burdens onto working families across America”.

Given Republicans’ inability to get 60 votes for a replacement right now, conservatives suggested they focus initially on passing proposals they all agree on, like expanding Health Savings Accounts and allowing interstate shopping and easier formation of association health plans. Conservatives have labeled almost all of those provisions as nonstarters.

“We have different ideas on replacement”, Paul said.

Committee member Rep. Brian Higgins, R-NY, said “I don’t think this provision is unjustifiable, and I think it’s morally reprehensible”. Of the Republicans who are actually interesting in “replacing” Obamacare, Reich noted, “They are discovering that the math is not there”.

The Republican party must hold itself to a higher standard than the “pass it to find out what is in it” Democrats held themselves to under Nancy Pelosi. “This bill does not do that”, Lee said.

A reporter asked Schumer why Democrats don’t outline their own plan to fix Obamacare, “so that Americans can compare” the Democrat and Republican plans.

Our morning Round Up begins with President Trump’s move to replace “Obamacare”. When you look at the number of people and the cost on what they scored the last Obamacare bill – it’s way off. Several things, which brings us to our next few items on the Win-Rand-Paul-Over-To-Do List.

In 2015, the budget produced by House Republicans explicitly promised that it “repeals Obamacare in full-including all of its taxes, regulations and mandates”.
