Republicans revealed the details of their new healthcare bill, to replace Obamacare. It has the backing of nearly 3/4 of the republicans in the House. The bill includes money to the states to shore up their preexisting condition pool. The bill from the Republican Study Committee, would repeal the entire Obamacare bill.
It would expand health savings accounts, medical liability reform, and would eliminate the restrictions on buying insurance across state lines. Although the sponsors of the bill plan to vote on it as soon as possible, they concede that it has no chance of passing in the senate.

The ObamaCare bill needs to be repealed in its entirety mostly because it has so much in it that has so little to do with healthcare.
We don’t want the Fed involved in our healthcare period as that keeps the door open for anything Fed. Get the government out of our business period.
These politicians dare to put themselves between the citizens and their doctors! This is tantamount though, much, much ,ore serious than determining what kind of light bulb that I should use to light my home or even as absurd as what kind of toilet I must purchase and use.
These elites, even in the GOP have no business making any law respecting my own healthcare, especially seeing as how they have set themselves up as needing special healthcare and especially need more of my money to pay for their own insurance, while deciding what kind of insurance I need as well as giving no thought to how much I must pay for it, especially after they add in options that I neither need nor want, so that any insurance I look to purchase is no longer affordable!
If they have a bill the One thing I want to see is that there is no individual mandate or a tax, fee or penalty for not having insurance. I am sure they left the mandate in it.
Leave healthcare to the medical field. Stay out of it.
Starve Regime Healthcare.
Kill the beast.
I thought the Republicans already unveiled their healthcare law. It was created by Mitt Romney, signed into law by President Obama, and supported by Boehner and McConnell.
Unfortunately, we have an ignorant public ( that is not disparaging, they do not know they don't know ) a sycophantic press who will not do an A vs B comparison of the two plans, to let common sense shine through.
Sadly this cartoon really paints the present picture quite well, as many are giving hosannas our walnut brain behind the podium, we are doomed.....
Democrat-Lite loses every single time.
No, it was actually created by the Heritage Foundation. The following is from the Journal of the American Medical Association:
"In 2006, a Republican Governor, a Democratic Speaker of the House, and a Democratic President of the State Senate collaborated to develop Massachusetts health insurance reform. The Republican Governor insisted on a proposal originally written by Stuart Butler, PhD, of the conservative Heritage Foundation (and a JAMA Forum contributor), which included an individual mandate to purchase health insurance. Butler said, “If a young man wrecks his Porsche and has not had the foresight to obtain insurance, we may commiserate, but society feels no obligation to repair his car. But health care is different. If a man is struck down by a heart attack in the street, Americans will care for him whether or not he has insurance.”
While Heritage has backed away from its initial proposal, it's the irony of ironies that Obamacare is patterned after a Heritage proposal.
Did you even read the article?
It basically liberalizes the laws restricting the relationship between the patient and doctor and gives the patient much more control (buying insurance across state lines, medical savings accounts, etc.).
The liberals head us for the cliff, then the Republicrats act like they're doing us a favor by taking the scenic route.
Wow. The Heritage Foundation should be disassembled brick by brick.
This should have been done on national TV or on the steps of the US Captiol. Are there any brain cells amongst this group?
Mittens in October 2011 on where he got the idea of the individual mandate:
They are calling for defunding.
You’ll have to tell me in writing - I’m deaf and You Tube doesn’t have closed captions.
EXACTLY! WELL SAID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaker Newt SHUT DOWN the US Federal Government in the 1990’s and it WORKED!
Clinton then took credit for balanced Federal Budgets, fewer people were in poverty, and all because Newt said NO !
The Liberal Agenda Media and the Democrats boo-hooed to this day, but Newt achieved success.

The worst punishment that a Democrat, or RINO can imagine is to take away their ability to spend our tax dollars.
The best way to do that is to shutdown the non-essental parts of the US Federal Government, starting with mothballing Air Force One.

Why not have the true Republicans require a BINDING, updated, “Federal Financial Impact Statement” for 2012-2013 fiscal year, and 2013-2014 f. y. for Obama”care?”
It should take a month or two to complete, allow for a vote to delay Obama”care” for a year, and then show the great financial harm to our Economy that the Statement’s numbers will document.
Wharton, Stanford, Michigan and Princeton could also file their independent Financial Impact Statements to compare to the Office of Budget and the Congressional Budget Office Financial Impact Statements.
