Yes, we wrote it here on November 11, 2016, in an article, "Surging Enrollments," and other Media Motivated Hype: Trump, "…instead of egging on Donald Trump to REPEAL and REPLACE, REPEAL should be the focus, not a rush to replace with the losing Republican plans often pushed by the likes of Paul Ryan…" President Trump has finally reached the same conclusion, thank heavens.
And it wasn't the last time we said REPEAL first, including on June 21, 2017, in "Following In Obama's Footsteps on Health Insurance Could Cost Trump Moderate Republican Support," "Before Trump keeps following Obama's footsteps on the road to the contemptuous dishonest exploitation of the American people, he should stop worrying about "passing" a "replacement" and start doing his job as our representative to use his sales pitches to repeal the bad law and refrain from passing another bad law."
That's right, repeal it. When Congress vows, promises and stops making third-grade posters (sorry, third graders) calling one another mean, and passes a non-exemption rule for themselves, meaning they can't use the loophole that the federal government that we support is their employer and by laws passed by them their employer decided to give them superior health insurance policies with premiums paid up to 72 percent by the American public, THEN and ONLY THEN, have they earned our trust, either Democrat or Republican to author a new health insurance law. Obama knew this, that's why he lied and promised that we'd get insurance plans like his family.
The public employees of this country, off our backs, especially Congress, have played in their own ballpark too long. The narrative of entitlements should NEVER have excluded public employee entitlements from job security to superior benefits of public employees as a sacred cow compared to our government's promise to it's paying older folks, that's right PAYING we paid towards Medicare and Social Security, nor as public "servants" should their entitlements ever exceed our poorest citizens.
Our ballpark does not accept public employee benefits as a sacred cow. We've seen that Congress protects itself, its salaries, its raises, its gyms, its benefits, its pensions over the American people in the Obamacare fiasco.Dear Congress: You pass it, you live with it…That's where health insurance reform begins.
