House Republican leaders introduced a bill Thursday to repeal and replace the sweeping healthcare law adopted in late March.
According to Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), the measure would repeal the current law and replace it with the alternative the minority party offered to the original healthcare legislation last November.
“As unpopular as this healthcare bill is today, it’s at the height of its popularity,” Blunt said. “The more the American people know about it, the more concerns they are going to have, and the more they are going to look at alternatives.”
Chances are slim Republicans could get their measure to the floor, given the Democratic majorities in the chamber, but it could make a useful campaign tool for the party.

BUMP
Why do the RINOs have to “replace” the bill with their own bill? Let’s NOT have national health reform!
Why the hell do we have to have ANY health-care bill? Grrrrr.
You have to have a bill to repeal a law.
Their desire to return to free market practices and interstate competition among insurers is only going to lower premiums...especially for folks in RAT states that would otherwise never get it right.
Get Government out of the health care totally.
Democrats laughed off the GOP effort to repeal the law.
Asked why leaders didn’t submit a measure solely to repeal the massive entitlement law, Blunt responded, “Then you’d be asking, ‘Why don’t you have any ideas?’ ”

“At least one Republican has a problem with his leadership offering a repeal-and-replace bill.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said in an interview with The Hill that Republicans “should be for 100 percent repeal. The replacement component of it should be a separate question because it blurs the issue; once you tie a comprehensive replacement to a repeal bill, you’ve guaranteed it’s going to bog down and the American people that are sick of backroom deals are going to ask a whole lot of questions that we are going to have to answer.”
King called ObamaCare a “malignant tumor that has metastasized as we speak.”

If you already have insurance and lose your job, if you sign
up in 30 days or something like that, you can’t be dropped.
