Illegal aliens might be the biggest beneficiaries of the GOP “replacement” to ObamaCare proposed by the Republican leadership in the U.S. House. Is your Republican congressman going to let that happen on Thursday?
Very possibly.
Members of Congress are poised to vote on the replacement to ObamaCare, but conservatives say the Republican plan not only doesn’t do enough… it actually moves many policies in the wrong direction.
As the Texas Public Policy Foundation has reported, the GOP “plan” leaves almost the entirety of the ObamaCare regulatory architecture intact, maintains the costly Medicaid expansion to the able-bodied, and replaces ObamaCare’s subsidy scheme with a new entitlement in the form of a refundable tax credit. It’s not a repeal bill, it’s a repair bill.
We were promised repeal and respect, not repair and quit.
But maybe worst of all, the Republican plan will allow illegal aliens to gain access to the new “refundable tax credit” entitlement being created.
At the same time, states like Texas that didn’t foolishly expand Medicaid under the false promises of ObamaCare will continue to subsidize the states that did… punishing taxpayers for having done the right thing. And it will very likely continue to fund abortion.
And, yes, the GOP plan keeps Washington, DC – not you – in control of your healthcare.
SwampCare… RinoCare… RyanCare… ObamaCare 2.0… whatever you want to call it, it isn’t the full replacement of ObamaCare that Americans were promised.
Americans voted to drain the swamp, not replace the alligators. Americans voted to stop the flood of illegal immigration, not create a new magnet.
Conservatives should let their Member of Congress know they will be watching and remembering.
