***From Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade:***
*”The plan is to come up with something better.”*
Republicans appear determined to destroy the Affordable Care Act, but what will go in its place? It’s a question the party has struggled to answer since the ACA passed. Remember Trump’s first term promise to “repeal and replace” Obamacare that never came to fruition?
Since the government shut down a month ago, the party has refused to publicly discuss a plan, even as ACA subsidies expire at the end of the year, forcing Americans to pay astronomically higher monthly premiums. In New Jersey, some premiums will rise by more than 175 percent. One family’s premium will spike 300 percent. Across the board, premiums are expected to increase by an average of 26 percent for a typical ACA plan, a recent KFF analysis revealed.
The Republicans’ so-called health care plans are so secret, in fact, they won’t share them with members of their own party. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who called out House Speaker Mike Johnson last week for not disclosing the party’s plans during a GOP conference call, said during an appearance on Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher: “Mike Johnson, for a month now, cannot give me a single policy idea.”
She said at another point during the show, “I’m waiting for the [healthcare] plan. I haven’t seen it yet.”
Republican congressmen do have a healthcare plan, and it’s excellent. But you have to be a congressman to qualify.

People who have shutdown the government and refused to release money to feed their citizens who can’t afford food this period. Who are bent on stopping anything that actually benefits their citizens, who are covering up for criminals in their ranks…. You mean those people won’t make their healthcare plan known? What healthcare plan?

The plan is that you die.

The current plan is to sacrifice the elderly, the poor, and anybody with a chronic disease.

Pre existing conditions disqualify you, and payment is required at point of care.

More of this bullshit? It’s always “we have a plan” and “trust in the plan” when things are going to shit. But the plan is too important to tell the people they work for about it. Vote these clowns out.

I am sure we will hear about their plan “in two weeks.”

They have had a concept of a plan, any time now!

It’s no secret. GOP healthcare plan = medical bankruptcy for everyone but the rich.
Commercial_hater on
Lying liars continue to lie. What a surprise.
jasoncross00 on
This obvious has successfully fooled the American people for 15 years – ever since the ACA was passed and the GOP started voting over and over and over again to “repeal and replace” it.
Why would they stop telling this obvious lie now? We’re a decade and a half into a failing press refusing to hold them to account for it, and it’s working.
Mediocre_Presence839 on
They don’t. Period
Big-Rule5269 on
Yeah, just like when Kayleigh McEnany brought out the fat binder with their supposed healthcare plan and Leslie Stahl got to it, opened it up and it was either blank pages, or old Executive Orders or previously passed legislation, but no healthcare anything.

This sounds like an article from 15 years ago… same argument.

For 15 years! This has been the claim for fifteen years.

Their plan is to unlock shareholder value by completely deregulating health insurance.
You, as a consumer of health care, will be even more screwed than you already are, but shareholder value is all that really matters to the people who own the GOP. And who own most of the shares.
JamesTiberiusCrunk on
They’ve been saying that literally since the ACA passed. They do not have a plan.
a_little_hazel_nuts on
Yeah, it’s a privatized option without government intervention.
NoCoolNameMatt on
That’s good! They can pass it since they own every branch and chamber of government.
StoppableHulk on
They have been saying this since the start of Trump’s first term. It wasn’t true then, it isn’t true now.
ACA is *already* a very conservative plan. It’s one of the most conservative public health care plans you could design. They will not do anything different or better. Their entire ethos is to take as much money from the poor and desperate and funnel into the pockets of their cronies.
There is no plan except to kill people for their own profit.
Disaboled on
10 years, no plan.
Ornery-Ticket834 on
It’s easy. There is nothing in it. Mike Johnson is as usual full of shit.

So they’re doing the same ole “concepts of a plan” bullshit again.

They have a concept of a plan. Thye should give us the same plan as the Congress has!

If the Republicans actually had all these great healthcare ideas that voters would love:
They’d be shouting those ideas from the rooftops.

GOP plan is just “trust me Bro”, and when things go sour “It is Biden/ Obama”
Esunari on
OK. Let’s see. On the one hand, I can vote to keep my Obamacare. On the other, I can vote for an unknown plan from people that hate me. This is a difficult choice. /s

> Obviously, we’re not gonna be on a conference call explaining all of our plans and strategies for healthcare reform because they’re leaked in real time
If the plan was good for the American people, this wouldn’t be a concern. In fact, you’d be waiving the pages in front of a camera if that were the case

Didn’t TheRump and the GOP have a plan in like 2017? Nothing was ever revealed in TheRumps first term.

The plan is:
– Let the ACA fail reach a breaking point
– Replace it with nothing.
– Repeat “The best way to have health insurance is to have a job!” ad nauseum.

Pretty sure they don’t. If they have something better they would shout it from the roofs.
