First, I did not follow the reports about the twists and turns of the RyanCare act (American Health Care Act to replace and repeal ObamaCare) and defeat in the U.S. Congress very closely.
Some takeaways:
- Paul Ryan seems seems more and more to be an inept leader of the Republicans in the U.S. Congress. He should be replaced as soon as possible
- Perhaps the GOP should have chosen first only to repeal ObamaCare instead of attempting to replace and repeal
- Instead of attempting a rather comprehensive repeal for which apparently there were not enough votes, the House Republicans should have tried to implement a couple of sensible replace reforms of health care such as the same tax benefits for individuals buying health insurance as employers; the free sale of health insurance across state borders; telemedicine and so forth to get started
One can only hope that the Republicans will do much better the second time around! Let’s pray!
