Obamacare: Why Republicans Never Define "Replace"


The Party of Nope has got no plan.
Nada, Niente. Nihil. Zilch.

For the GOP, "hope and change" is "nope and stasis."

The GOP has a few slogans -- "the invisible hand of the marketplace" and "free markets" chief among them --  but no remotely viable plan for providing an actual system of Universal Health Coverage in which no citizen is denied care for pre-existing conditions nor loses coverage due to private insurance cost-cutting."

"[A]ll of the healthcare reform plans Republicans support would disrupt the insurance market much more dramatically than the Affordable Care Act does. Republicans can't achieve consensus on a plan to replace Obamacare, but they all basically agree that very few people should be allowed to keep the insurance plans they have right now...Nearly all Republicans support eliminating traditional Medicare for future retirees, and replacing it with a plan that looks (ironically) a lot like Obamacare." Brian Beutler in Salon
