    .: Let's repeal Obamacare now, then replace

    “It’s easy to point fingers while fires rage, but I believe Congress deserves the most blame for the Brian Head Fire. After all, it is Congress that is responsible for passing laws that have resulted in the basket-case management of our national forests.…” from “Congress Can Better Prevent Forest Fires” by Mike Lee.

    “To win my vote, the Republican health care bill must create a little space for states and individuals to sidestep Washington’s arrogant incompetence, and see if they can do better. Recent history suggests they couldn’t possibly do worse.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “At some point Washington elites might at least entertain the possibility that we may not have all the answers. I think right now — with President Trump’s shocking upset of the establishment still fresh in our minds — would be a good time for Congress to add a new ingredient to its legislative sausage: a dash of humility.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “And so, for all my frustrations about the process and my disagreements with the substance of BCRA, I would still be willing to vote for it if it allowed states and/or individuals to opt-out of the Obamacare system free-and-clear to experiment with different forms of insurance, benefits packages, and care provision options.…” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “The only hope for actually solving the deep, challenging problems in our health care system is to let people try out approaches other than the ones a few dozen politicians thought up inside the D.C. bubble.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “Why do Republicans — who are supposedly skeptical of government miracle-working — expect our one-size-fits-all scheme to work any better?” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “And history teaches us that when we don’t know how to solve a problem, the best thing to do is to experiment. We should test different ideas through a cooperative, bottom-up, trial-and-error process rather than imposing top-down, partisan power-plays that disrupt the lives of hundreds of millions of people at a time.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “The reason Americans are divided about health care (like so many issues today) is that we don’t know exactly how to fix it. Politicians hate to admit it, and partisans like to pretend otherwise. But it’s true.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “Having conceded to my moderate colleagues on all of the above, I now ask only that the bill be amended to include an opt-out provision, for states or even just for individuals.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “Conservatives have compromised on not repealing, on spending levels, tax credits, subsidies, corporate bailouts, Medicaid, and the Obamacare regulations. That is, on every substantive question in the bill.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.
  14. Jun 23
    “Far short of ‘repeal,’ the Senate bill keeps the Democrats’ broken system intact, just with less spending on the poor to pay for corporate bailouts and tax cuts. A cynic might say that the BCRA is less a Republican health care bill than a caricature of a Republican health care bill.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.
  15. Jun 23
    “As the bill is currently drafted, I won’t vote for it.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.
  16. Jun 23
    “It cuts taxes. It bails out insurance companies. It props up Obamacare through the next election. It lays out plans to slow Medicaid spending beginning in 2025, but that probably won’t happen. And it leaves in place the ham-fisted federal regulations that have driven up family health insurance premiums by 140 percent since Obamacare was implemented.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    “No, the Senate healthcare bill released yesterday does not repeal Obamacare. It doesn’t even significantly reform American healthcare.” from “The Missing Ingredient in BCRA: Humility” by Mike Lee.

    It does not appear that draft will repeal Obamacare & lower healthcare costs as we promised to do:
