Steve Scalise wants to try again to repeal Obamacare
by Robert King | Jan 2, 2018, 12:40 PM

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise wants Congress to make another run at repealing Obamacare this year, despite trepidation in the Senate.

Scalise said on "Fox and Friends" Tuesday that one of the best actions by Congress last year was repealing the law’s individual mandate that requires everyone to get health insurance or pay a fine, which was included in the tax reform legislation.

“Now we need to go fix the things that are broken and jacking up costs,” he said. “Let's get back to work on things like what we passed in the House that almost passed in the Senate.”

He's absolutely right.  We shouldn't rest on our laurels because the tax bill removed the worst part.  It should all be removed, burned and the ground salted.

Yes he is!

Best of luck to Rep Scalise.  I hope he can find a path to success.

And, we should all be regularly emailing our reps to vote for this.  I know they don't care what we think, but they do bend to public pressure if it's applied vigorously.

If you can't take it all down at once, keep chipping and banging away, knocking parts of it off as you go.

The repeal of the individual mandate was a HUGE first step forward. Who here has the temerity to say that it wasn't?

Don't stop...!

    Not I, @Fishrrman, very bold step by Trump/Ryan/McConnell and it was the icing on the cake for Trump's first year in office.

    Credit where credit is due.
