Phil1111 1,193 #2 February 28, 2017 I just love it how trump paints the Republican party into a corner and then sends Priebus over to negotiate. I guess thats a new chapter in the "Art of the Deal". "President Trump assured executives of major insurance companies Monday that the transition away from ObamaCare would be a "smooth one." In a meeting at the White House with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Cigna, Humana and other insurers, Trump said the replacement would be a great one for patients and "hopefully for the companies." http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/321336-trump-promises-smooth-transition-for-insurers-away-from-obamacare "Trump is making some big promises: His insurance reform will cover more people and cost less money. "We're going to have insurance for everybody," Trump told The Washington Post. "There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can't pay for it, you don't get it. That's not going to happen with us." "[They] can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better," he said." http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/15/politics/trump-obamacare/ Speaking of which: "An ethics attorney has filed a complaint against White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, accusing him of a “corrupt attempt to influence investigations by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) into criminal activity involving associates of Donald J. Trump (“Trump”) and Russian government.” The complaint was filed by J. Whitfield Larrabee, a Massachusetts attorney, who is no stranger to filing ethics complaints against the Trump team. During the campaign, Larrabee filed bribery complaints against Trump and then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi over donations Trump gave to the Bondi campaign around the same time she decided not to join other attorney generals in bringing fraud claims against Trump U. Trump ended up paying an IRS fine to settle the allegations surrounding the alleged illegal donation." http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/bar-complaint-accuses-reince-priebus-of-corruptly-attempting-to-influence-fbi-investigation/ Of course its not as if trump has any direct ideas himself as to how to reform the ACA.

kallend 2,175 #3 February 28, 2017 Phil1111 Of course its not as if trump has any direct ideas himself as to how to reform the ACA. Well, it's so complicated... “When we win on Nov. 8 and elect a Republican Congress, we will be able to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare,” Trump said at a campaign stop in Prussia, Penn., Nov. 1....
