Page 60 - Replacement Plan News Today

Begins today. but democrats have argued puicans should not repeal it and risk the health care of millions of americans until they have offered up a replacement plan. the republicans face hurdles in their bid to overturn the law beyond democratic opposition. senate procedural rules allow the gop to impart subsidies on the exchanges, but it would leave core pieces of obamacare in place including the illegal mandate. and president-elect trump has vowed to preserve other key parts of the law such as...

Years members of congress believe the talking points that this not been good for hard working americans. the reality is it has been. probably lobbyists that if they perceive with what they say they plan to do it will create a lot of chaos and under certainty and people lose access to care. when they come to understand that, i think there are probably some members of the senate in particular who understand what can happen, they will tread more cautionly. i done think they will do repeal they have...

Members want. the republican leaders prefer a three-year delay to create a transition period. and ive even heard from knowledgeable people theres been discussion about delaying it four years to put off that. >> why not eight? >> right. so thats where this comes in? the big problem is that republicans have had six to seven years to come up with a replacement plan. and the only thing to agreen to are broad strokes, tax advantage health savings account. translating that means supporting a new syste...

3,000, or 4,000 individuals below that can implement what sean spicer said hes going to do. >> liz said theres no replacement plan. thats factually not true. one plan was put together by paul ryan called "a better way" and the second is by tom price, who will be the incoming hhs secretary. and those plans largely agree. and they deal with things of how to get downward cost pressure so people can afford insurance, that will address part of the 20 million. and it addresses preexisting conditions. ...

There are certain aspects that are massively popular. i think what hell do is hell fiddle around the with it and call it trumpcare, you know? [laughter] hell adjust it in this way and that. in. >> no. he will make good on his promises. the fact that theres about 33,000 pages in the affordable 32,000 pages. even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. having said that, hes made very clear what his replacement plan is. bret: trump also has big plans for infrastructure spending as outline...

Appetite for developing a comprehensive replacement plan. they can replace it with something which is half as good. they could have a plan which covers ten million instead of 20 million uninsured but in terms of actually substantively replacing the law, guaranteeing the end of discrimination in insurance markets and actually covering 20 million americans, there is simply no plan thats been proposed which realistically achieves those goals. repeal it, they can do. then they will suffer the conseq...

Very early on. but there is this other push among conservative health care policy wonks to take time and figure out exactly what that replacement plan should be. i think republicans are going to find out and have a rude awakening very quickly here that the politics of health care when youre in charge are not very good for you and theyve been the political -- theyve had the advantage of that when docrats were in charge of the white house and having to deal with the mess pushing through obamacare ...

Health care. theres going to be some replacement and right now we havent really seen a set plan come out of the house or the senate that would be a strong replacement plan, whether donald trump has something up his sleeve i think is yet to be seen. theres been a lot of talk, but nothing solidified and i think just to repeal it and have nothing to replace it with is really going to be a major problem. >> brad, we have 15 seconds. tax reform, do you expect to see it? >> yes. i think well see it pr...
