Not really interested

MSNBC this morning.

The Duce, who hinted the other day he liked the Lamar Alexander initiative to shore up the Ocare individual coverage market, quickly spun around and denounced anything that just gave more money to the insurance companies.

That's Bozo-code for denouncing CSR payments, absolutely crucial to affordability of health insurance for tens of millions of working Americans doing a tad too well for even expanded Medicaid.

He sticks with the idea he'd rather just let it crash and burn, though his first choice would be for the congress to finally do a repeal/replace.

Paul Ryan, asked about the Alexander initiative, dismissed it with the comment he'd rather see people working on repeal/replace.

Update.

During his presser with the governor of Puerto Rico, at the very end, The Duce was asked about the Alexander effort and said he would support it as a temporary move to head off harm to people, but reiterated his hatred for giving any money to profiteering insurance companies and the absolute need for repeal/replace to make really, really wonderful coverage available to all Americans.
