House Republicans will continue to work to repeal this law and protect families and small businesses from its harmful consequences.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) already totally embarrassed himself over the issue on Monday. He insisted to
Fox News that the Affordable Care Act “has to be torn down and we need to start over … Obamacare can’t be ‘fixed’.”
Graham asked his 10,000 followers on Twitter to retweet his message if they agreed. By Tuesday morning, a total of five people had done so
.
The GOP has ‘nothing to offer’ to replace Obamacare.
Speaking of ‘some explaining to do’,
Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, took an almost laughable step on Tuesday. He released a budget proposal that included a total repeal of the Affordable Care Act. That’s right, not one cent is included to back up the law. He wrote in his proposal:
The Path to Prosperity will strengthen our healthcare system by repealing ObamaCare. The healthcare law has been a costly mistake, so this plan calls for a full replacement.
The Republican Party under such ‘leadership’ is sounding increasingly out of touch with reality. First of all, they’ve never said what the ‘replacement’ would be. Also, as blogger Jonathan Easley notes in
The Hill, a repeal of the ACA would be impossible unless and until the GOP took the White House in 2016. He writes that, by that time:
… the Affordable Care Act will be so entrenched, that any repeal and replace strategy would constitute as radical a transformation of the healthcare industry as ObamaCare was.
The GOP is living in some kind of fantasy world. Their plan to use a repeal of the ACA to win elections this fall is not only based on an impossible feat, but may well transform their dreams into their worst nightmare
