Report: Trump admin used public Obamacare funds to undermine health law

Trump’s tweets on healthcare were some of nearly a dozen the president sent on Saturday, blasting leaks to the media as well as defending his son and new White House Communication Director Anthony Scaramucci.

“After one false start, Republicans needed to go back and improve their bill”. Trump said, urging the Nevada senator to support the legislation. Now that Trump sits in the Oval Office with pen in hand, however, repeal becomes a real possibility – as do the awful consequences.

“I’m frustrated in general that my party wasn’t more consistent”, Sen. “Congress appropriates funds for you to carry out laws that they passed, not to spend those funds on activities that counteract those laws”. You know, for seven years, you had an easy route.

Repeal and replace “Obamacare”. That the healthcare grass may not be greener over the pond.

Bishop Dewane made the comments in a June 20 letter to U.S. senators released July 21.

It is also unlikely that some Republicans would support the bill without the anti-abortion restrictions. They can drink tap water from a fountain, because that’s what’s good enough for the rest of us. “We always believed that delivering health and human services was the mission of the department”.

President Donald Trump campaigned on the promise to repeal and replace Obamacare, and insisted that someone with his business acumen would get it replaced fast.

“I want it to be changed, ” said Lola Sterling, 67.

There are lots of losers on Capitol Hill, too. The New York Times has an interesting piece on the attitudes of voters in Doylestown, Pa., where locals didn’t like “Obamacare” – until recently. The odd thing about this health care issue is they were not divided on it. They all voted for it. Over the years, they put it in their – it was the No. 1 thing on their agenda.

So, on Monday, a Senate bill to repeal the ACA and replace it with a more expensive and skimpier plan was left to die by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

This version of freedom is packaged and sold to less affluent Americans because, for many of them, obtaining health care currently requires hard choices. “If you’re a Republican, I think you have to stand with the Republican president”.

BARNES:.Health care insurance mainly for poor people.

Earlier in the week, it looked like the Senate healthcare bill – the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) – was dead and buried. He’s in a very tough election situation.

While Obama was in office, Republicans in Congress could blithely pass repeal bills knowing the president would never sign them.

Still there are dissatisfied faultfinders who claim Trump’s supporters are granting him way too much leeway on his non-traditional behavior. But Democrats and independents have rallied around it, and many of those who opposed it now accept the law, unwilling to see millions of Americans stripped of the coverage that it extended to them. If people are able-bodied, she said on TV, and they want to work, then they’ll have employer-sponsored benefits, like you and I do. But within hours, senators were expressing doubts about which option McConnell would bring up for a vote next week. In the backseat? Some red-faced and whiny character who just can’t fathom why this trip is taking so long. With the change in administrations, the payments have continued but their fate remains uncertain.

Most of America couldn’t buy policies: The bill would quickly destabilize the individual market, the CBO found. Some healthier people would forgo coverage since they wouldn’tface a penalty, leaving insurers with sicklier and costlier policyholders. “He’ll learn, he’ll learn.’ And you just don’t see that happening”. Those problems could have been overcome without so many wasted months if the GOP accepted the ACA and worked to make it a success. Either the government reduces its role in our health care system or the future will be a single-payer system where government – not the consumer – is in charge.

“It certainly all sounds highly problematic and inappropriate”, said Cary Coglianese, the Edward B. Shils professor of law and professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania.

We believe health care is a right-not a privilege-and we are ready to keep working to make that goal a reality.

Cindy Smith, 65, said Democrats and Republicans should work together to hash something out. “The bigger question might be how long he can count on his caucus”.

Can anything be done to protect Americans from this temper tantrum?
