Today, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) released the following statement after the Obamacare repeal resolution was introduced in the Senate:
“This is the first step toward relief for Americans struggling under Obamacare. This resolution sets the stage for repeal followed by a stable transition to a better health care system. Our goal is to ensure that patients will be in control of their health care and have greater access to quality, affordable coverage. Today we begin to deliver on our promise to the American people.”

Please keep in mind the GOP-led Congress intends ONLY to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety. They intend to wait, at a minimum, at least 2-3 years before considering any form of “replacement” — IF they deem it necessary. There solution is to let you open up a Health Savings Account, let employers negotiate whatever cut rate plan they can cheaply buy to minimally cover their employees, and let everybody buy insurance from across state lines (stomping the crap out of the States’ Rights mantra they’ve shoved down our throats for eons). THAT is not going to fix the problems Americans have with accessing adequate health care.
But, just so you know, should they be successful this go around in their repeal effort, they’ll be dumping a whole lot of people across this nation out of the insurance market and onto their “hurry up and die” plan. Here’s what repeal means just to Nevadans:
Buckle up folks! Privatization of Medicare and Social Security are next on their list of things to loot!
