Here’s the dirty secret about the House Republicans’ efforts to replace Obamacare — they haven’t even decided if they want to hold a vote.Not to mention, the House GOP would still have to repeal Obamacare in order to implement whatever alternative health care plan they release, which isn’t going to happen as long as President Barack Obama is sitting in the Oval Office.In the next few weeks and months, the House GOP Conference — with Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) playing the key role — will spend lots of time talking about crafting its own health care plan, one that would be positioned as an alternative to the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
in the end it will be the Ryan voucher plan with two word changes, they announced their new plan months ago and like their autopsy it proved to be nothing but bone throw to buy time, which they used to continue their "PRINCIPLES" formerly known as "VALUES" of alienating America the real America not their antebellum collection of haters, that want that country back.
But with a Republican alternative to Obamacare comes serious practical and political problems that could prevent the legislation from even getting to the House floor. A critical midterm election is just a few months away. Public opinion is firmly against Obama’s health care law, and releasing specific bills could take the focus off the Democrats’ squirming.Republicans aren’t even convinced they will find consensus on any specific set of new health care bills. The ideas they’re discussing — the ability to buy insurance across state lines, wider use of “health savings accounts“ and cutting federal regulations — are the same principles they have kicked around since 2009. But the party is not much closer to finding a proposal — or set of proposals — that would garner enough Republican support to pass the House.Not to mention, some of the policies the GOP is considering — including state-based high-risk pools — already exist and don’t work very well. Endorsement of these policies by the House GOP Conference could leave Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his leadership team open to heavy political fire from the White House and Hill Democrats.
they are having this problem because they have never in 5 years had anything new they depend on the past to provide them with a clue. it's funny they sat those who forget history are destined to repeat it. damn they got that wrong too because 53 repeal votes for ObamaCares alone prove that.
