Conservatives pan House Obamacare repeal bill 'This is Obamacare by a different form,' former Freedom Caucus chairman Jim Jordan tells POLITICO. By RACHAEL BADE 03/06/17 09:53 PM EST Updated 03/06/17 11:13 PM EST http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/obamacare-repeal-conservatives-235753 A handful of House conservatives on Monday evening criticized GOP leadership's newly released Obamacare replacement bill, foreshadowing trouble for the repeal effort even after leaders tried to assuage the far-right. Some House Freedom Caucus members dismissed the bill as creating a new “entitlement program” by offering health care tax credits to low-income Americans. A Republican Study Committee memo sent to chiefs of staff, obtained by POLITICO, echoed those comments and blasted the bill’s continuation of the Medicaid expansion for three years. “This is Obamacare by a different form,” former Freedom Caucus chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told POLITICO. “They’re still keeping the taxes in place and Medicaid expansion, and they’re starting a new entitlement.” Freedom Caucus member Dave Brat (R-Va.) piled on, telling POLITICO he’d vote against it in its current form because “the bill maintains many of the federal features including a new entitlement program as well as most of the insurance regulations.” "Now [they] are saying we're going to do repeal and replace but the bill does nothing of the sort,” he said. “[Speaker] Paul Ryan has always said the entire rationale for this bill is to bend the cost curve down, and so far I have seen no evidence that this bill will bring the cost curve down.” His comments come just a few hours after Ryan and his top lieutenants publicly released their much-awaited Obamacare replacement plan. Two House committees will begin marking up the bill this week, and GOP leadership hopes to send the measure to the Senate in three weeks. President Donald Trump signaled his support for the bill by tweeting a link to a Ryan statement about the proposal on Monday evening.

Conservative Sites Go to War Against Trumpcare Taegan Goddard's Political Wire by Taegan Goddard “Influential right-wing websites are beating the daylights out of the Obamacare replacement plan developed by the House Republican leadership and the Trump administration,” Jonathan Swan reports. “Trump, Ryan and co. were already going to have a hard time selling their plan to right flank of the House and Senate. The last thing they need is a conservative media war against them. You can bet that someone’s going to walk into the President’s office during the next 24 hours with a print out of the Breitbart stories. It’ll be interesting to see whether he stays the course against the backlash.” Interestingly, Breitbart “is taking the most aggressive stance.”
