President Trump, Here’s What Your Executive Order on Health Care Should Say…

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Frustrated with Congress’s inaction on health care reform and multiple failed attempts at an Affordable Care Act repeal, President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order today that will ease rules for businesses banding together to purchase health insurance and lift limits on short-term health insurance plans, along with other important changes, reports The Hill.

The fight over Obamacare is not over. That said, the failed or stalled GOP proposals would have continued massive redistribution of worker’s wages to health plans—corporate socialized medicine—and not repealed the ACA.

CCHF Says: Put a Real Repeal Bill Up for a Vote

ST. PAUL, Minn.—The Graham-Cassidy bill is the latest casualty in “repeal and replace” efforts, and the “replace” portion is most of the problem, says Twila Brase, president and co-founder of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, www.cchfreedom.org).

Republicans Should Tell the Truth

It’s not true. All claims about “repealing” the Affordable Care Act play loosey-goosey with the term “repeal” and they know it. None of the votes so far have been on a real repeal bill. This week, Senate Republicans wanted a political win, but they were not planning to repeal the ACA.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—The U.S. Senate plans to hold a vote this week on the Graham-Cassidy bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act. There’s just one problem, says Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, www.cchfreedom.org).

12 FACTS about Graham-Cassidy (GC) Senate 'Repeal Obamacare' Bill

The Graham-Cassidy bill does not repeal the Affordable Care Act, or its exchanges or the Obamacare coverage. Senator Rand Paul says it only repeals 90% of ACA spending. He calls it “ObamacareLite at its worst." Says it just redistributes the ACA dollars from Democrat states to Republican states (more money to states that didn’t expand Medicaid). It does not repeal Obamacare. The Graham-Cassidy bill is not a fulfillment of the Republican promise to repeal Obamacare.
