Donald Trump: ‘I’m 100 Percent Behind’ Obamacare Replacement Plan

Inhoffe said that while the measure needs to be tweaked and amended, it’s a breath of fresh air compared to Obama’s Affordable Health Care Act, which was forced on the nation in his first term without a single Republican vote.

Some parts of the new American Health Care Act mirror laws in the Affordable Care Act, which is also called “Obamacare”.

Much is at stake for Republican congressional leaders and the Trump White House. A White House that makes stuff up?

He said his group has spoken with Senate Republicans about potential changes and will propose an amendment on Monday.

The analysis contradicts President Donald Trump’s assertion that no one would lose their coverage under the proposed Republican overhaul, according to news reports. And after it did, President Donald Trump said it set the stage for a “big, fat, lovely negotiation”, and that, “hopefully, we’ll come up with something that’s going to be really terrific”.

In its review of the Republican proposal to replace and repeal the Affordable Care Act, the American Health Care Act the Congressional Budget office estimates as many as 14 million people could lose health care coverage by the end of next year- about half of those people are now covered through Medicaid.

The poll found that 84 percent of respondents said it was important that federal support for the expansion remain in place.

But that doesn’t mean Republicans have solved all their problems.

Whether they can will soon become clear.

Pence’s trip to the Capitol, and an evening all-hands meeting of House Republicans to count votes, came as GOP leaders strained to win backing for besieged legislation that’s uniformly opposed by Democrats. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health studied mortality rate changes in MA after the rollout of the state’s health insurance platform in 2006. It would create new, leaner tax credits for health insurance, cap federal spending on Medicaid for low-income people and reverse tax increases on wealthy Americans used to finance Obama’s statute. Ryan told members Friday that he was open to adjusting the structure of some of the tax credits in the GOP bill to address the massive premium increases expected for low-income seniors. The current House Republican bill would wind down the current Medicaid expansion starting in 2020, and there are proposals to start a wind-down sooner.

Both groups claim to have enough votes to swing the bill in their direction. Or they could push ahead, try to pass the bill as best they can, and then relentlessly shame members who voted against it if it goes down.

Thursday’s committee vote included defections by three GOP conservatives, underscoring the obstacles party leaders face in maneuvering to avoid a stinging setback to their showpiece legislation after seven years of promises to repeal and replace Obamacare. One would let states require childless, able-bodied adults who receive Medicaid benefits to find work. What they should be seeking is a plan that can get through Congress.

The president griped that the media was not reporting fairly on the bill.

Representative Mark Meadows, head of the 40-member Freedom Caucus, told MSNBC on Thursday conservatives were still concerned about other aspects, including the impact on insurance companies and customer premiums.

Republican Congressmen Todd Rokita and Luke Messer had also announced his support for the bill before the C-B-O report.

“Frankly I think that is kind of an insulting remark to the president, as if he doesn’t know what he’s doing”, Ryan said in a Wednesday interview on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper”. With more than 20 million people gaining insurance, we saw real-life effects.
