Washington – Vice President Mike Pence has told a group at a small business in West Virginia that “we will end the Obamacare nightmare and give the American people the world-class health care that they deserve.”

Pence’s message on Saturday comes after the GOP effort to repeal Barack Obama’s health care law failed to gather enough Republican support to come to a vote in the House.
Top congressional Republicans mostly concede the measure’s demise means it’s time to move onto other issues. Trump himself says “it won’t be in the very distant future” before he tries again to repeal and replace the health care law.
On Saturday in the West Virginia community of Scott Depot, Pence said Congress just wasn’t ready and that it’s “back to the drawing board.”
7 years, 60 votes by the Alt-GOP and a complete bomb to kill health insurance for 24 million Americans. Why the malice to de-insure people? Why does the New Fuhrer want fewer people with insurance coverage, higher premiums, nothing for women, nothing for the addicted, more unvaccinated children everywhere. Make America Sick Again. Feh.
Health insurance premiums went up because of the rapacious insurance corporations, not because of ACA. Costs have been going up for 30 years and these insurance corporations have 10,000 x profit margins. NoTrumpCare that was defeated on Friday would have raised premiums dramatically. We don’t allow price fixing in America so premiums will go up up up.
#20 I fail to understand why Trumpcare is a hand out to the big insurance companies? Can you provide some data to support that? Like in what way? Is it because they are required to cover fewer essentials? If that’s so do you know that those cost savings won’t trickle down to the consumer? Or is it because they can now charge older lives 5 times younger verse 3 times younger? Once again what convinces you that it won’t be passed along to the consumer?
Moreover under the ACA, there was a cap on profit margins that limited profit intake from insurance companies? Was that eliminated under Trumpcare? Because if it wasn’t then profit taking would still be limited.
I don’t like lots of stuff in the bill either. But where do you get this notion that its a hand out? I really don’t know enough about the bill to make your assertion. But I am curious as to what you know?
