Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday reportedly walked out of a meeting with fellow
Senate Republicans as House Speaker Paul Ryan worked to reassure skeptical
colleagues about the next steps in taking on ObamaCare.
Politico reported that Paul, R-Ky., was unhappy with the meeting and the
prospect of keeping the health law’s Medicaid expansion. He called creating
tax credits a “new entitlement program.”
“I hear things that are unacceptable to me,” Paul told the website. “If
they don’t seem to care what conservatives think about complete repeal of
ObamaCare, they’re going to be shocked when they count the votes.”
Attendees reportedly said Ryan laid out a timeline that would start the
repeal process by the end of February and pass it by the end of March.
President Trump, according to some in the party, has been fueling the
confusion by not being specific about how he plans to take on the 6 ½-
year-old ObamaCare. He has said, during his candidacy, that he would “
repeal and replace” the law with “something far better.”

Trump has been edging away from the promise to quickly eliminate the entire
law. Still, annulling its taxes would be a partial victory and is
irresistible for many GOP lawmakers and the conservative voters at the core
of their support.
"We should do full repeal," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a leading House
conservative. "And full repeal means not taking the taxes" from people.

Yet voiding those levies erases a mammoth war chest Republicans would love
to have -- and may well need -- as they try replacing Obama's law. It's a
major rift GOP leaders face as they try crafting a health care package that
can pass Congress.
“Right now, I would say it’s not that easy to repeal it,” Rep. Peter King
, R-N.Y., told Politico. “I don’t know where the White House is. The
president has said he’s not going to be kicking people off the program, off
the rolls. He’s not going to do that.”
If the taxes are repealed and Republicans need money for their replacement
plan, do they pay for it with higher federal deficits? Do they deeply cut
Medicaid, which provides health care for low-income people, or carve savings
from Medicare, which serves the elderly? Might they raise other taxes,
something that's been anathema to the GOP for decades?
Paul came up with his own plan, which contains what he calls “conservative
reforms.” His plan includes opening up the insurance market and allowing
individuals to pool their insurance with others to secure the lowest premium.
“There’s not one item in the plan that we think a Republican would object
to,” he told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
"There's going to be a temptation for policymakers to take the easy way out"
and simply let deficits rise, said Maya MacGuineas, president of the
bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. She said for
Republicans promising for decades to improve the nation's fiscal health,
that choice "is going to look hypocritical." | K*********I
