    Default The replacement

    The Republican Study Committee’s American Health Care Reform Act dramatically opens up options for families, and dramatically lowers costs compared to the Obamacare law.


    The 200-page budget-neutral bill would provide $20,000 in tax deductions to families and a $7,500 deduction to individuals, so they can buy insurance from vendors in any state. It would also would allow Americans to keep the money they save by picking lower-cost providers.


    The Republican bill — which was drafted by a committee subgroup headed by Rep. Phil Roe, a doctor — would also create a 10-year, $25 billion fund to lower costs for Americans afflicted with pre-existing conditions such as cancer.


    Additionally, it would let people carry their insurance with them from job to job, and cut wasteful legal costs by reforming medical lawsuits.


    The bill transfers authority from Obamacare’s regulators to citizens.

    Via a reformed national health insurance market, Americans will be able to buy many of the provisions in Obamacare that are lauded by the White House, such as coverage for adult children up to age 26.


    Overall costs will be controlled because government expenses are offset by savings, such as legal reform and an expected drop in medical prices.


    The new bill’s features — especially the ability to buy insurance from out-of-state vendors — are popular.


    Americans will be able to reject insurance coverage currently mandated by federal regulators


    The sponsors hope to pass the bill through the House’s budget-writing committees via “regular order.”


    The new bill is a refutation of claims by the White House that the GOP has abandoned plans to replace the controversial Obamacare regime.

    And of course, since it's insurance "regulation" from Righties, it contains a provision on "medical lawsuit reform"...otherwise known as tort reform.

    Passed here in Texas, it's a BIG BOON to the insurance companies and Doctors, but it doesn't do much at all to protect the average Joe.


    Too bad they couldn't offer some sort of alternative during the appropriate time period.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?
