The Art of the Deal:

 

 

Listen: "If you don't get on board! There will be hell to pay! I am going to count to 3. 1, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3! 3.5... Okay, when I get to 5... I am telling YOU Mr.! YOU are in big trouble!... Come on, pretty please!"

Here Are The Changes to the AHCA That Will Be in Tomorrow’s Vote

 

The American Health Care Act (AHCA) will be voted on as early as 10 a.m. E.T. Friday morning.

 

The much-contested bill has undergone some changes in an effort to garner support from the House Freedom Caucus, while the moderate Tuesday Group has been increasingly backing away.

Here are the changes to the bill that will be a part of the AHCA tomorrow morning:

Page 1. The first two amendments delay repeal of the Additional Medicare Tax Increase to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, and make a conforming change to the underlying text.

 

Page 1-3. Adds maternity coverage and newborn care to the use of funds for the Patient and State Stability Fund. Provides clarification that mental health and substance use disorder services within the fund includes inpatient and outpatient clinical care for treatment of addiction and mental illness; and early identification and intervention for children and young adults with serious mental illness.

 

Appropriates an additional $15 billion to the Patient and State Stability Fund solely devoted to States for maternity coverage and newborn care, and mental health and substance use disorders.

 

Page 3. This addition requires states to determine essential health benefits, beginning in 2018, for purposes of the premium tax credit.

 

 

 

The maternity and mental health aspects of the ACHA have been troubling to many. The politics of women’s health and the fact that medical professionals consider the country’s opioid epidemic the worst public health crisis in U.S. history are key motivators. This issue has been a non-starter if not protected for moderate Republicans.

 

The essential health benefits mandate that causes health insurance plan premiums to unnecessarily increase has been a major sticking point for House conservatives.

Only in the disturbed minds of the looney left is not voting on a bad bill considered a failure.

But they are voting on the bad Trumpcare bill on Friday. After 7 years and finally having control they still can't get it right, or even get agreement within their own party. So they had to appease some conservatives by making the bill worse, and upset the moderates. And even if it passes the House, it won't pass the Senate without changes. And then the House conservatives won't like it again. And through it all Trump will blame Obama, who could close the deal, when he can't on a bill he supports 100%.

Don't worry, the ignorant faction of the right will blame Ryan before that happens.

Louisiana Purchase, Cornhusker Kickback and deliberate lies by Obama along with Ben Rhodes shenanigans is how Obama closed that deal.

But it will most importantly be rid of Obama's name... It will be: TRUMPcare

 

It is all about the name and the brand.

Obama closed the deal? On a bill that was tragically watered down and the archetype for "There's a time to think, and a time to act, and this is no time to think!" And they still, despite having the White House and both houses of Congress, could only pass it using parliamentary trickery, on strictly bipartisan lines? And that was "closing the deal" on Republican legislation that no Republican supported, that the only portion of which that reasonably works is something the Republicans never, ever pitched?

 

I'm honestly curious; do you know you're lying? Or do you really live in such a fantasy world?
