[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2741124, member: 18225"] After seven years of Republicans 'repeal/replace' chanting, Trump tried to cajole/threaten/pretty-please his way into passing a bill that he, by all accounts, neither understood or was interested in understanding. Seems to me if you want to be the 'closer', you should probably understand at least a bit of what you're trying to close. Seven years later, and Ryan etc. try and ram through a crappy bill that satisfied no one, did nothing to realize Trumps' campaign promises about creating a 'beautiful' health care system that would lower costs and result in better coverage. It's laughable. At some point, the Republicans would do well to address the issues that the ACA has. It's not perfect, by any stretch, but now seems to be the time to fix it around the edges. What a strange and poorly-handled opening salvo from this new administration. It certainly doesn't bode well for the rest of his agenda. Who knew being President would be so complicated? [/QUOTE]
