re: Cruz Found an Overlooked 1974 Rule; Could Be a Real Game-changer for ObamaCare

Frick it, Ted has my vote in 2024

The Cucks melt over this should be interesting.

Now McCuckell and Cuck Ryan have no excuses.

They just need to repeal the ACA and then set about creating a robust "Charity Hospital System" to trrindigent people with real maladies. Forget the "designer' processes like elective abortion and sex-change crap. Otherwise pay for what you want = insure yourself or rely on Charity Hospital.

Totally agree. Medicare/Medicade and healthcare for people who otherwise can't afford it should be covered by charities. They'd do a better job than the gov't would.

Absolutely. You could do this and cut Medicare/Medicaid spending by 50%. Offer medical students 70% reduction/payment for medical school in exchange for 7 year post graduation commitment to work in system.

the Dems have been so partisan

As nice of a 'one weird trick' this is for Lion Ted Cruz, this is exactly the kind of thing that shouldn't get dug up, because in 8 years, the DNC will be doing the same thing when the pendulum swings back.

frick it. Time for the GOP to grow a pair if we are ever to get our agenda through. I'm tired of playing nice...all that's gotten us is a steady trickle toward big Govt and leftist policy.

Do it, and hope it creates enough positive change where it becomes politically toxic for Dems to mess with it

This is the kind of thinking that the GOP can't have. The dems have already proven that they can and will use these type of tactics when they are in power. Heck, the dems were ready to use this rule back when obamacare was first pushed through, and let's not for get that it was Reid that implemented the nuclear option. So the GOP can't worry about what the dems will do once they get into office, because they have proven that they will do it regardless. So why should the GOP handcuff themselves when the dems aren't?

You couldn't be more right. I believe true the truly indigent should be humanely treated and provided health care. The rest of able bodied America-get out there and pay for your health care and find places that are reasonable and have health insurance. I went from being a single mom who truly figured it out on my own as I always made just a bit more than qualified for any help. I could have quit my job though and actually lived better back then. That is messed up. But I chose the right path. Worked my arse off despite physically incurable illness in both myself and my child I now have college and home ownership to my name. The American dream is out there even for those who don't have it easy if you will put your nose to the grindstone and just do it. I had no family support or anything. I just said I want a better life and I wasn't about to quit pushing and decide to live on handouts and disability which I qualify for. I can knock lazy people because I know what it's like to get up in pain every day and still make it happen. If all Americans had a work ethic and contacted our congressmen and women to voice our views instead of sticking heads on sand and hoping for the best then maybe we could get real change for the people by the people. THose with the loudest voices get heard. And often those voices don't speak for the majority of citizens. Speak up. And get busy America!!!! Luv from the Real Mum!!!

Hi mum, you really love me?

According to Cruz, however, a provision in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 would allow Republicans to both drastically increase the scope of their new health care reform bill and still let it fall under reconciliation by essentially bypassing the parliamentarian and leaving that decision up to Vice President Pence.

So does this apply to line items in the New-ACA or is this only a budgetary constraint/provision ?
