Trump (or Obama) can write spending bills in the House now?? Wow, I never knew that..
Can you post the link where that Executive Order was signed by Trump, I must have missed it.
Here's a free lesson in how politics works for you Ironman. Typically on a bill this important, that the President made one of his top priorities, he will work with the Speaker closely to craft a bill that meets both of their expectations. Clearly Trump did a lot of this as he was front and center in all negotiations with Republican Congressmen. As much as he wants to hang Ryan out to dry, Trump owns this failure.

I thought they were supposed to repeal, not replace...
This failed, next Tax reform.
Take out the mandate in the tax reform.
Obamacare dies 3 months later.
When sick people jumping on and off the insurance.

What are the conservative "must-haves" in the "expected" Trumpcare plan? Must it insure everyone? Must it lower the tax burden on the wealthy? Must it actually lower costs? Must it force consumer involvement in their choices? (I suspect that's the point of HSAs and such).
What mechanisms will lower costs and give better coverage to everyone (T-rump's stated objectives)?

"According to Quinnipiac, only 17 percent of Americans approve of the bill — and only 6 percent of the country supports it strongly. (Congress is approved of by 21 percent of the country.) By contrast, well over half of Americans disapprove of it, 43 percent of them strongly. In other words, more than twice as many people have strongly negative views of the bill than have any positive feelings for it."
