Kasich: Trump 'doesn't care' about what's in GOP healthcare plan

BY BEN KAMISAR at the Hill

"SNIP..............


“I happen to believe he doesn't care what the plan is," he said.

"I don't care what he said, but I know that if he can get something through, he’s not going to [say], ‘I'm an ideological guy on healthcare.’ "

Republicans tried to revive their healthcare bill this week after the original GOP plan failed to win enough Republican votes in the House.

Negotiations between lawmakers exacted some concessions for conservatives, including a path for states to opt out of some ObamaCare provisions. But no vote has been scheduled, and whether the party has enough support to pass a bill remains unclear.

1. He's a petty, spiteful man who only wants to overturn the ACA

to poke a finger into Obama's eye for making jokes at his expense at a roast.

No, he doesn't give a damn if anything replaces it as long as it's overturned. The Republican Party as a whole agrees with him, they've had seven years to come up with a workable alternative and they've done nothing.

That's right, nothing.

They need to be pilloried for this. No one has the guts to do it.

was about a female reporter writing something unflattering about him. He spilled red wine all over her in public.

This is who he is. He sues people for far less. He is petty, spiteful, and vindictive and has the thinnest skin on the planet.

obama did the best that could be done within the current system.
and i am not sure single payer would embody all the things about ocare that will result in better treatment, and less fraud.

I really don't care for him, he's a typical republican but he did expand on Medicaid. Trump doesn't care one way or the other about healthcare he just goes along because he doesn't have a clue.

They don't want Medicare to be a social program after all but a voucher program.

Without the senior center blasting Fox News (the real news) 24/7 the GOP got nothing.

...he just doesn't know and doesn't care
