.@BillCassidy says that #Obamacare replacement would allow states to keep ACA

So either this US senetor doesn't know what that Obamacare and ACA are the same thing or the guy is brazenley lying.

You know a lie is too good when even the liar can't remember the truth.

I watched the conference, Cassidy knows they are the same. But they word hitting the word play heavy. If they want to knock the current system is was "Obamacare" if they were praising the option to keep the current system, is was the ACA.

Their plan give states the option to either keep the ACA's structure, or choose another option.

So their replacement plan might be exactly the ACA if every (they won't) state chooses to keep it apparently.

okay but what is the point of having ACA "structure" if they cut medicaid expansion, get rid of individual mandate, federal subsidies ect?

 

[RustyShackleford]

This plan is just to pressure enough moderate Dems to vote for the law, and try to get to 60.

They say this would cover more people than the ACA, but conveniently,. they didn't send it to the CBO to score it before hand.

-And we have Conway's comments on block grants.

Another thing about the tweet that should be mentioned is how there seems to be an attempt to separate Obama from the law in order to maintain the narrative that Obamacare and the ACA are different.

They're evil like that...

Famb, I can't make sense of the GOP's nonsense

They haven't even talked to Trump or sent it to the CBO too.

I'm consistently shocked about how little some politicians value "self-respect" or "dignity". :x

^ that's actually his father? well, his adoptive father. we all know cruz was spawned from a demon.

the second tweet almost bothers me more. it's implying that protests need trump's approval to go on.

Trump ordered a hiring and pay freeze for all federal workers, including the US Military

-Congrats Federal workers that voted for him, ya played yourself

 

[RustyShackleford]

Yeah that's papa Cruz

 

[dathbgboy]

They have to keep the Obamacare and ACA aren't the same thing narrative going because they don't have a replacement available. This gives the options to keep it but rename it and take the credit.

President Trump signs order officially withdrawing U.S. from Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal

Trump ordered a hiring and pay freeze for all federal workers, including the US Military

and he reinstated the Mexico City abortion rules:

It requires foreign non-governmental organizations to not provide or promote abortion services if they receive funds from the U.S. government. Specifically, the funds would come from the United States Agency for International Development, and abortion cannot be presented as a “method of family planning.” Promoting abortion services includes work such as counseling for women that includes language on abortions.

The policy was named for Mexico City because it was announced at the United Nations International Conference on Population in that location.

It was signed into law by former President Ronald Reagan and went into effect in 1985.

The policy stayed in effect until 1993, when it was rescinded by former President Bill Clinton. Since then, it has been reinstated by every Republican president and rescinded by every Democratic president within their first few days in office. Obama rescinded it exactly eight years ago, on Jan. 23, 2009.
