Many governors welcome demise of GOP health care bill

By increasing competition and giving people the power to make their own choices with their own health care, the American Health Care Act would have been a drastic improvement over the healthcare system Obamacare has left us with.

“There have been changes made to the bill throughout the week, and Congressman Tipton continues to assess whether or not these changes fully address his concerns and whether the bill will ultimately lead to lower health care costs for Coloradans”.

“At the same time, I’m disappointed in many of my Republican colleagues for failing to support a good bill backed by President Trump and many others. We’ve still got three or four hours and there’s still discussions happening”. He later added: “We have pledged to repeal and replace Obamacare, and that is exactly the process the House will begin with our vote later this week”. I came here to govern and I’m disappointed that we came up short.

GOP leaders and the Trump White House have been wooing the ideological opposite ends of the House Republican caucus to try to salvage a deal.

Recent analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a national public policy think-tank, suggests that under the latest ACA repeal and replacement legislation, the same tax credits that help people purchase premiums would fall sharply in MS – by $2,316 – by 2020. If the tax cuts for the rich in the American Health Care Act were in tax reform, complying with budget rules would require hundreds of billions more in offsets.

“People who have more serious or expensive pre-existing conditions may not be able to find any plan that covers their condition”, she says.

“The threat of a rejection in Congress for Trump’s Obamacare replacement has brought about significant doubts over his ability to pass his corporate tax cut this week”, noted IG analyst Joshua Mahony in London.

And, perhaps most telling, for a man who loves putting his name on everything from skyscrapers to steaks, he’s eschewed the moniker “Trumpcare” for the GOP’s effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. That’s why sequencing matters here, and health care must go first. Too many only have one insurer providing one plan in their area.

While Ryan acknowledged American Care Act, also known as Obamacare, remains “the law of the land”, Hultgren said in his statement that “maintaining the status quo is simply unacceptable”. Republicans “are shooting themselves in the foot if they offer this proposal”.

Some Republicans were quick to get out of town after the bill collapsed.
