How do these two things go together? I'm all for states rights. I don't really care about the transgender bathroom thing one way or the other.hey BlueK,
watch the left freak about this... Trump just reversed Transgender protection for restrooms. says it's up to individual states. good for him. get the feds out of the Transgender issue with bathrooms.
the only one who thinks trump is getting rid of freedom of speech is the paranoid press, and their disciples.

Yeah, if you think Trump is going to do that you weren't listening during the campaign. If you listen to what Trump actually said during the campaign, he likes socialized medicine. He just liked bashing Obama's version of it. He talks about lower premiums, lower deductibles, keeping the no pre-existing conditions, etc. That's actually more, not less. So why would he hold congress up to the spotlight for trying to come up with a plan that matches what Trump has said he wants? He never said to repeal it and go back to nothing. I'm not saying I agree with that, but a "better" national healthcare plan is what Trump campaigned on. It's why he's always said "replace."Repeal and replace is looking less and less likely, with "leave, trim, repair, and box-in" becoming the words we're hearing out of the Congressional GOP, "If you say, ‘Would you help us repair something?’ people start listening in a whole other way."I think yo have to plan circumspectly any time you embark on a major undertaking. Repealing and replacing ObamaCare is a massive undertaking. I can assure you - nothing was going to happen until Trump got his pick for HHS (Health and Human Services) confirmed and in his post. Price was confirmed on Feb. 10. Ten days have passed. Nothing so monumental as replacing ObamaCare is going to happen in 10 days. That said, I assure you the gears of change are turning.And not moving immediately on Obamacare now exposes the waste of time in voting to repeal it in the past---what was their plan back then? Oh, yeah--they were never serious, they were just scoring political points with no real plan in place. Ladies and Gentlemen --- YOUR Republican Party!!
...
Personally, I hope the Trump folks tread deliberately and with attention to detail while disassembling ObamaCare and writing it's replacement. The Trump team cannot blow this rollout by rushing it. It would be disastrous. Tom Price fully understands whats at stake.

We need Trump to use his bully pulpit and call out all of the GOP congressfolk who ran on a "repeal Obamacare" platform, and hold them up to the spotlight.

I wasn't surpriawd. That's been the GOP M.O. lately. big talk, no results.Would love to see that.

......and then Trump goes to CPAC and says the best path forward may be to just leave it be for a couple of years so it can fail on its own and the Dems beg the GOP to fix it.
Doesn't look like Obamacare is going anywhere. It's become an "entitlement", and no one looking at reelection in the next decade wants to touch entitlements any more.
