Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is concerned yet again about his fellow Republican Senators disregarding their campaign promises and pulling another fast one on the American public. Senate Republicans are set to pass legislation that will bail out Obamacare and permanently tie the inevitable failure of the bureaucratic monstrosity to the GOP, and Paul is desperately trying to stop them.
“I don’t think some miracle happens with this Republican plan. The main thing that happens is now the…dysfunctional part of the marketplace is going to be blamed on Republicans,” Paul said on “Newsmax Now” with Bill Tucker.
A revised health care plan, pushed by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and other prominent Republican lawmakers, was released today. It would earmark $70 billion as a bailout of sorts for failing insurance exchanges to be paid out over the next decade. Earlier plans to cut certain tax hikes implemented through Obamacare were jettisoned in this new proposal as well.
“I think Obamacare is a disaster, I think it’s in a death spiral, premiums have gone through the roof, but then I look at this bill and it’s just not repeal, it keeps over half of the Obamacare taxes, it keeps most of the Obamacare regulations, it keeps most of the Obamacare subsidies,” Paul said.
Despite the problems facing him right now, Paul remains optimistic that he has a key ally to help him win his uphill battle against Senate GOP leadership: President Donald Trump. Paul says that he has been having frequent discussions with Trump, and has even convinced the President to support his plan of repealing Obamacare before passing a replacement.
“Have a clean repeal bill, this would be a repeal of Obamacare. We repeal taxes, regulations, you name it. We repeal what Obamacare was and the disaster that it is,” Paul said.
Then why doesn’t he come up with a bill worth passing
He already did. It’s just not worth passing for those who crave government control
He’s introduced S-222 that fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with free market principles
If Jesus Christ himself came up with a bill, #trumpteam would reject it!
Jeremy Yost, you don’t really pay attention do you? He was the FIRST person to introduce repeal legislation to repeal the ACA. Try googling “Obamacare Replacement Act” and see what you find.
Where’s the “get your head out of your ass” emoticon?

Rand Paul is the man. Wish I could take my vote for someone else in the primaries back. I like that he is keeping his promise. Can’t really say that about anybody else.
If they do bail out OsamaCare they are guaranteed to lose both the House and Senate in 2018
