Given Trump’s ostentatious support for middle-of-the-road policies — including preserving Medicare and Social Security — the only way for Democrats to create “clear blue water” between themselves and the incumbent has been to offer the electorate eccentric socialist dogma.
The executive director of an association of physicians that promotes patient-centered, free-marked health care says Speaker Paul Ryan’s American Health Care Act (AHCA) “cements” the “basic flawed premises” of Obamacare.
Drudge Report editor and Washington Times columnist Charles Hurt tells Breitbart News Daily that Ted Cruz is doing the “work” of the Republican establishment “to prevent Donald Trump from clinching the nomination.”
An unintentionally revealing interview with House Speaker Paul Ryan shows exactly why he’s being touted as an establishment replacement for Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, and also why Trump is the shocking frontrunner for the 2016 nomination.

In a call to the Republican Party to “man-up” and boldly stand up for conservative principles, while instilling them into national policy, Jindal says the “bad news” is that Walker’s newly released proposal “provides universal coverage with a guarantee of government coverage for everyone.”
“In a health care plan that is light on specifics, Governor Walker endorsed the fundamental underpinning of Obamacare – the notion that America needs another entitlement program,” Jindal said according to a press release from his campaign. “In Governor Walker’s plan, a new entitlement is created for every single American human being from the time they are born right up until they grow old and become eligible for Medicare…”
The biggest failure of Obamacare is its inability to create and market a product that healthy people (especially young adults) want to buy.
On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare into law and enrolled former President Harry Truman as its first beneficiary. But today, federal unfunded liabilities are catastrophic for future taxpayers and economic growth. The US Debt Clock lists federal unfunded liabilities at $97 trillion.
