The problem is NOT that the GOP has no proposals.
They have SEVERAL proposals ( see Posts #2 and #3 above ).
The problem is THEY AREN’T UNIFIED around one coherent plan.
You can’t have several legislators proposing their own plan... this CONFUSES the hell out of people.
Well ok.
The GOP has competing proposals which they haven’t advanced because they cannot agree.
Same result. Get with it GOP.
Get with it.

The moment you say IMPROVEMENTS are needed, that is an indication that a significant number of people aren’t happy with the way things are.
This of course, calls for a PLAN to IMPROVE the system.
And who says we need a 2500 page plan?
One requirement would be to make the plan simple and understandable. They could probably draft the law in less than 30 pages.
Step 1:) Repeal Obamacare
Step 2:) Let the States handle healthcare they way they want to.
Step 2:) Let the States handle healthcare they way they want to.
What about Medicaid? The states are CLOSELY linked to it.
The FedGov should have NOTHING to do with health care.
I would add:
- Health Savings Accounts (pre-tax) that would take care of the out-of-pocket.
- Giving the power back to the hospitals/etc. that will allow them to turn away all non-life-threatening injuries from the E.R. (sniffles...buh-bye, go see your primary/etc.)
Your #1 is the kicker though.
Get rid of the ACA then do a GOP plan if there is a good one. The RATs want some type of GOP fingerprint on the ACA.
