Trump worried that people would stop coming to his rallies if Republicans fail to pass health care reform.

On Tuesday, Trump traveled to Capitol Hill to meet with a number of House Republicans who are reluctant to pass a Republican health care bill that has been championed by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI).


According to CNN, Trump began his meeting with Republicans by congratulating himself for the crowd size at a Monday night rally in Louisville, Kentucky. The president warned that the value of his earned media would be diminished if the health care bill fails.


“We won’t have these crowds if we don’t get this done,” he reportedly complained. “I honestly think many of you will lose your seats in 2018 if you don’t get this done.”

I'd like to know why if the ACA is so popular and working so well, are so many folks so anxious to get rid of it?

Trump is doing what every political advocate does, advocate for his policy. If Conservatives reject the ACA's replacement, no one will be clamoring for continuing it without major revisions even beyond those proposed by the current replacement legislation.

Rest assured, whatever opposition there still may exist to the proposed ACA replacement legislation, it is NOT because everyone wants to just keep things in health care as they are currently running, or are all honky dory with the ACA.

No way!

That's a stupid question. I know it was just a snide remark and a poor attempt at humor, but here is my stupid guess as to what happened on Wall St today. I followed stocks today. Fox Business kept up a graphic that the drop in the DOW was amid uncertainty over Health Care passage. I noticed the wording was 'amid' and not 'due to' uncertainty. A closer look showed that the stocks responding negatively were mostly Health related; drugs, medical services, etc. I'm speculating that today's response MAY have been due to more certainty than not, as the most impacted stocks are going to be lower (initially) if a Bill passes that encourages or even demands competition verses the grand scale "we'll set the price" system in place now. It is my hope that "MONEY" knows passage is imminent. I'm no expert and may be severely lacking in key information, so I'd appreciate any insight you or others have to offer.

One at a time.

1. "I'd like to know why if the ACA is so popular and working so well, are so many folks so anxious to get rid of it?"
1. Answer:" I'd like to know if Hitler is such a bad guy why are so many folks supporting him?" Because they are imbeciles.

2."Trump is doing what every political advocate does, advocate for his policy"
2. Answer: "Is worrying about your rally numbers really what "every political advocate does" and does that actually have anything to do with "policy"? No. It's not about policy. It's about pumping up a fragile ego.

Investors quite simply want certainty in their long term market conditions to make money. when there is uncertainty, they don't wait around to suffer big losses. the sell off today is over less confident projections that the AHCA will pass as proposed, and may not pass at all without still more revisions.

No one wants the current Law, but not as many think the replacement is significantly different in terms of attacking spiraling health care costs. If that gets fixed, and investors are convinced health care's outrageous costs now have a chance to stabilize and/or lower....they will get into the market buying health care positions again.

They need a stable, relatively cost effective, workable new plan in order to feel that type of confidence

You never addressed why the ACA is so unpopular comparing it to Hilter. Are you suggesting by your analogy that opposing Hitler was imbecilic?

You are also suggesting there was no political lobbying for the ACA? Then why did we have to pass it first before we learned what was in it?

Who's best prepared to compete? No doubt, investors 'in the know' are ready to strike gold. Hopefully America and her healthcare will be in a better spot (much to the left's dismay) by Friday's close.

And you think it's going to pass both the House and Senate tomorrow?

That's impossible and it may be withdrawn from the House, but should consensus be reached by tomorrow, Wall St. will respond positively, IMO. I could be wrong, but at least I know what we're discussing here.

Courage? That's ridiculous. Patience with you? Long ago.

In order for any good humor to work, there must be a grain of Truth in it. There is more than a grain of Truth in that post and that pic.

Whenever I need a good laugh Priddyboy, you never disappoint.
