YOUR GOP scumbags in action... But most 'Republican' groupies will not have a problem with this, as it's the GOP in power now. GOP Plan Orders Insurers to Charge People 30% More If Uninsured for 63 DaysBy Terence P. Jeffrey, March 8, 2017 9:34 AM EST (CNSNews.com) - The plan to repeal and replace Obamacare unveiled by House Republican leaders on Monday orders insurance companies to charge people 30 percent more in premiums for a full year if they did not have insurance for 63 days or more in the previous year. The sections of the Republican bill that create this mandate on insurance companies are titled: “Continuous Health Insurance Coverage Incentive,” and “Encouraging Continuous Health Insurance Coverage.” The first subsection of the “Encouraging Continuous Health Insurance Coverage” section is entitled: “Penalty Applied.” This subsection says insurance companies “shall” impose the penalty. “(A) health insurance issuer offering health insurance coverage in the individual or small group market shall, in the case of an individual who is an applicable policyholder of such coverage…increase the monthly premium rate otherwise applicable to such individual for such coverage during each month of such period, by an amount determined under paragraph (2),” says the bill. Paragraph 2 goes on to explain that the “increase” in premiums the government will require is 30 percent over the normal premium for the plan. “The amount determined under this paragraph for an applicable policyholder…is the amount that is equal to 30 percent of the monthly premium rate otherwise applicable to such applicable policyholder for such coverage during such month,” the Republican bill says. The proposed legislation goes on to say that the burden of proof will be with the individual American seeking to buy health insurance. If they cannot document that they did not have a 63-day lapse in insurance during the previous year, they must pay the 30-percent penalty. www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/gop-plan-orders-insurers-charge-people-30-more-if-uninsured-63-days

Not making it better, Not salvaging parts for use in their own version of this unconstitutional travesty... it was REPEAL! The GOP IS DemocRat lite, when will the GOP sycophants understand that? Ryan: ‘Huge Conservative Wins’ Added to Repeal and Replace Bill; Let Senate Make ChangesBy Susan Jones, March 21, 2017 11:08 AM EDT Ryan said at the end of the day, it’s a choice: “Do you want to stick with the Obamacare status quo; do you want to stick with the idea that we made a promise and we’re not going to keep it; or do we want to replace this (Obamacare) with a clearly much, much better law – something that makes good on our principles and our promises and gets this country on the right track.” www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/ryan-huge-conservative-wins-added-repeal-and-replace-bill-let-senate-make
Don't see one word about 'changing' or 'making it better' in the definition of repeal...

The Democrats Won This Round, And It Wasn’t Even Close…By Michael Snyder, on April 27th, 2017 We have just witnessed one of the greatest routs in modern American political history. We are still waiting to see if a spending agreement can be reached so that a government shutdown at midnight on Friday can be averted, but whether a shutdown actually happens or not, the Democrats have won this round by a landslide. Even though the Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, during these budget negotiations the Republicans have backed down on major issue after major issue. The Democrats are acting like they own Washington D.C., and the Republicans are letting them get away with it. For years Republican politicians have had a reputation for being gutless and spineless, but in 2017 they are taking their lack of courage to a whole new level. Since a border wall was the number one issue that Donald Trump campaigned on, many had been anticipating that he would battle hard to get funding for it. But instead he folded like a 20 dollar suit, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has admitted to the press that he was anticipating that this might happen… As for the broader funding standoff, “I thought one of two things. I thought he’d either back down. Or he’d do , and it would be a fight we’d win,” said Schumer. “When the president just puts together his own plan, which is almost always hard-right given who the people around him are, he has problems.”And since the Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House, many social conservatives believed that this would be the time when Planned Parenthood would finally be defunded. But that is not going to happen either, and the truth is that the Republicans did not even put up a fight. On Thursday, the Democrats decided to reach even further. They warned that they would shut the government down if the Republicans brought a bill to replace Obamacare up for a vote by the end of this week, and within hours the Republicans backed down… theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-democrats-won-this-round-and-it-wasnt-even-close

There is NO Repeal in this bill, so stop the frigging misinformation! ObamaCare repeal gains votes and momentumBy Peter Sullivan and Jordan Fabian - 05/03/17 12:19 PM EDT Reps. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and Billy Long (R-Mo.) on Wednesday said they would support the GOP’s ObamaCare repeal-and-replace bill with the addition of an amendment, giving the effort new momentum as GOP leaders push toward a floor vote. The two Republicans made the announcement at the White House after meeting with President Trump. "I think it is likely now to pass the House,” Upton said. But Upton added he’s “not on the whip team” and can’t definitively say there are enough votes for it to pass. Both Upton and Long dealt a setback to the healthcare measure earlier this week, when they came out against it because they saidit failed to protect people with pre-existing conditions. The new amendment from Upton would provide $8 billion over five years to help people with pre-existing conditions afford their premiums in states that are granted a waiver from ObamaCare’s protections. thehill.com/policy/healthcare/331755-obamacare-repeal-gains-votes-and-momentumFor the dumb-asses that are still slow on the uptake...

I keep saying it, Obamacare isn't going anywhere, it's just getting rebranded by the GOP... The unconstitutional albatros will now hang around the Republican's neck.
But you Republican groupies just go ahead and rejoice in your 'repeal', and may the chains of servitude rest lightly extremely heavy on you, 'cause you deserve what your gonna be getting from your party.

Under the current Republican controlled congress, I give this a zero chance of passing... Fed up with GOP secrecy on Obamacare repeal, Rand Paul introduces ‘Read the Bills’ resolutionBrandon Morse, Jun 22, 2017 2:52 pm Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul introduced a Senate resolution called “Read the Bills” Wednesday that would require every bill or amendment to be filed for a minimum of one day for every 20 pages before they can be considered by the upper chamber. “Enough with rushed, secret legislation! Today I reintroduced my Read the Bills resolution,” Paul tweeted Wednesday. Enough with rushed, secret legislation! Today I reintroduced my Read the Bills resolution. Read more here: t.co/p1CmeL8vqd — Senator Rand Paul (@randpaul) June 21, 2017 The purpose of the resolution, according to Paul, is to make sure that his fellow senators have ample time to review bills before they can be voted on. The resolution would allow the Senate to waive the minimum time requirement only with “an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members.” Paul said his resolution stemmed from what he considered the GOP leadership’s secrecy about the Senate’s bill to repeal and replace Obamacare before it was released on Thursday. www.theblaze.com/news/2017/06/22/fed-up-with-gop-secrecy-on-obamacare-repeal-rand-paul-introduces-read-the-bills-resolution/

You Republicans must be so proud of your weak and corrupted party... Just like the Socialist DemocRats did with Obamacare; Obama/Trumpcare started as a big lie, was built through treasonous backroom deals, and the final unconstitutional shit filled sandwich will be shoved in our faces... Just like the Obama admin did. Report: McConnell Could Turn to Democrats to Salvage Healthcare BillBy Newsmax Wires, Wednesday, 28 Jun 2017 08:48 PM The top U.S. Senate Republican struggled on Wednesday to salvage major healthcare legislation sought by President Donald Trump, meeting privately with a parade of skeptical senators as critics within the party urged substantial changes. Republican leaders hope to agree on changes to the legislation by Friday so lawmakers can take it up after next week's Independence Day recess.. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday abandoned plans to seek passage of it this week because Republicans did not have 50 votes to pass the bill. But The New York Times reported Wednesday night that McConnell has raised the possibility of working with some Democrats to salvage the effort. www.newsmax.com/Headline/healthcare-bill-mcconnell-bipartisan/2017/06/28/id/798834/And in related news... GOP considers keeping ObamaCare tax in revised health billBy Nathaniel Weixel - 06/29/17 12:45 PM EDT Senate Republicans are considering dropping a tax break for the wealthy from their ObamaCare repeal bill as they seek to secure 50 votes for the legislation. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) on Thursday said the bill would be changed to increase the subsidies that help lower-income people afford health insurance. The most likely way for that to happen is by keeping a 3.8 percent tax on investment income for high earners, Corker said. thehill.com/policy/healthcare/340068-gop-considers-keeping-obamacare-tax-in-revised-health-bill19th Obamacare Co-Op Folds, Leaving Only 4 Operating in 2018BY: Ali Meyer, June 27, 2017 3:41 pm Minuteman Health of Massachusetts and New Hampshire announced it is withdrawing from the Affordable Care Act exchanges in 2018, leaving only four co-ops in operation. The co-op will stop writing business on January 1 and organize a new company, Minuteman Insurance Company, instead. The company cited issues with Obamacare's risk-adjustment program, which is the program that shifts money away from those with healthier customers to those with sicker enrollees. Minuteman Health said that the negative impact of this program had been "substantial." freebeacon.com/issues/19th-obamacare-co-op-folds-leaving-4-operating-2018/

Short bus riding Republican base just got played by obama and the GOP yet again... Mitch McConnell: GOP Might Not Be Able to Repeal ObamacareBy Todd Beamon, Thursday, 06 Jul 2017 08:10 PM Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday raised the possibility that Republicans might not be able to repeal and replace Obamacare but said that action will be needed to stabilize healthcare markets. "Unfortunately, this healthcare issue has been a very divisive and partisan issue," the Kentucky Republican said at a Rotary Club meeting in Paducah, The Western Kentucky Star reports. "If my side is unable to agree on an adequate replacement, then some kind of action with regard to private health insurance markets must occur," he said. www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/mitch-mcconnell-republicans-repeal-obamacare/2017/07/06/id/800265/

Unconstitutional Obama/Trumpcare moving right along with the help of embedded Republican traitors... GOP Healthcare Bill Adds $70B for Exchanges to Woo HoldoutsThursday, 13 Jul 2017 12:15 PM Senate Republican leaders released a revised health-care plan Thursday that would provide an added $70 billion to stabilize insurance exchanges over a decade in an effort to win over GOP holdouts. The change comes on top of $112 billion provided for the same purpose in an earlier measure by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is hoping the modified bill will revive prospects for their embattled Obamacare repeal effort, which stalled about two weeks ago. www.newsmax.com/Politics/senate-healthcare-bill/2017/07/13/id/801453/

Finally after wiping all the self-applied shit off their faces, the GOP is going to try what they said they were gonna do on 'day one'. Do I think these F-ing Repubtards are actually gonna follow through... not for a second. Because they are NOT repealing obamacare, not even close, as it continues on unmolested, for years. McConnell Says He'll Push for Clean Repeal BillNM, Monday, 17 Jul 2017 11:09 PM Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell abandoned efforts to pass a broad Republican-only replacement of Obamacare, saying late Monday he will instead seek a vote on a simple repeal -- delayed by two years to give lawmakers time to seek a replacement. www.newsmax.com/Headline/US-Congress-Health-Overhaul-The-Latest/2017/07/17/id/802201/

They have PROMISED a REPEAL for eight years... My statement from a previous post: Under the current Republican controlled congress, I give this a zero chance of passing... Bam! who couldn't have seen this treachery coming, as we have warned about it here for many years.
and with the failure pinned directly to McConnells lying corrupted ass, the GOP groupies get a bonus! More traitor-speak from one of the most cowardly back-stabbing scumbags I have ever seen in Congress... But, be assured that the GOP sycophants in Kentucky will still vote his sorry ass back in.

And what will you Republican lemmings do now? I'll tell you what your gonna do, you're gonna watch Trumps entire agenda fail piece by piece because you are too frigging lazy and pussified to stand up and fight. ‘Obamacare’ survives; GOP concedes on last-gasp repeal tryBy ERICA WERNER, 27 Sept 2017 WASHINGTON (AP) — “Obamacare” lives on. Senate Republicans, short of votes, abandoned their latest and possibly final attempt to kill the health care law Tuesday, just ahead of a critical end-of-the-week deadline. The repeal-and-replace bill’s authors promised to try again at a later date, while President Donald Trump railed against “certain so-called Republicans” who opposed the GOP effort. But for now, Trump and fellow Republicans who vowed for seven years to abolish President Barack Obama’s law will leave it standing and turn their attention to overhauling the nation’s tax code instead. apnews.com/34cc8d59e8724569b38f95312f771bac/'Obamacare'-survives;-GOP-concedes-on-last-gasp-repeal-try

The Obama/Trumpcare moving along... Trump willing to pursue 'temporary deal' on health careFox News, 8 Oct 2017 Looking to break the logjam in Washington on repealing and replacing ObamaCare, President Donald Trump said Saturday evening that he was willing to pursue “a temporary deal” to get a new health care plan in place. In remarks on the South Lawn of the White House before leaving for a fundraising trip to North Carolina, the president referred to a popular GOP proposal that would have the federal government turn over money for health care directly to states in the form of block grants. www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10/08/trump-willing-to-pursue-temporary-deal-on-healthcare.html
