Bobby Jindal Hits Scott Walker: ‘It Is Frankly Shocking That a Republican Candidate for President Would Author a Cradle to Grave Plan Like This’
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal strongly criticized Scott Walker’s health care proposal on Tuesday, accusing his GOP rival of endorsing the “fundamental underpinning of Obamacare.”
“In a health care plan that is light on specifics, Governor Walker endorsed the fundamental underpinning of Obamacare – the notion that America needs another entitlement program,” Jindal said in a statement.
Jindal argued that Walker’s plan “In Governor Walker’s plan creates a new “entitlement” for “every single American human being from the time they are born right up until they grow old and become eligible for Medicare.
“It is frankly shocking that a Republican candidate for President would author a cradle to grave plan like this,” he added.
Jindal asserted he has already laid out a “conservative plan to repeal and replace Obamacare without a new federal entitlement program.” He said his plan “focuses on driving down the cost of health care by embracing free market reforms.”
“When did conservatism die? When did we accept the idea of dependence on government? Governor Walker is confused here,” the Louisiana governor said.
Walker’s plan for replacing President Barack Obama’s health care law would extend refundable tax credits to help pay for private health insurance based on age instead of income, restructure Medicaid and allow people to shop for insurance across state lines.

The Wisconsin governor provided details of his proposal to The Associated Press in advance of a Tuesday speech in suburban Minneapolis where he was to outline his first major policy initiative of the presidential campaign.
Walker’s plan does not include cost figures or an estimate of the number of people who would be covered, making it nearly impossible to compare with current law. For the period from April to June of this year, 11.4 percent of U.S. adults were uninsured, which translates to about 16 million people gaining coverage since the rollout of Obama’s health care law in 2013.
Walker’s campaign said the plan would be paid for by eliminating $1 trillion in taxes that are levied under the current law and by making other changes to Medicaid and how health insurance is taxed.
I dunno.
Just saying. I like the fact we have more options. Just me though.
Here's my shocked face, Bobby.
HA!!!
Another non productive, though ‘safe’ family fight.
How about going after the Dems,like Bernie Sanders or even Hillary? Come on Bobby J.,do you have the nerve to do it?
at least Walker didn’t praise the systems in Canada and Scotland...yet..lol
Jindal criticizes a plan that has not been revealed yet, except the parts that the liberal AP decided to leak.
Walker will not attack Trump’s immigration plan when the press goads him, but Jindal and conservativejoy swallow the liberal ejaculate and smile as they attack a proven conservative......a conservative with a record that is better than Jindal’s or any candidate that conservativejoy supports.
Like I said, without the GOP state legislature, Walker would have been a skinny Chris Christie and nobody would have ever heard of him.
That is the cutest kid!!! LOL!
This has always been the plan....another deduction right out of your paycheck.
Go, Bobby!
Yeh...wait till he gets to the terrible twos....then tell me how cute you think he is.
Hey TRUE CONSERVATIVES know those are the best places for health care!!!!1!!
Whaddaya know—it’s his first major policy initiative (and a bad one at that).
Did we hear any of the punditocracy decrying Walker’s lack of specifics, like they couldn’t stop going on about Trump?
Hey—Trump is advocating a free market solution.
Jindal’s right: Walker is creating a new, lifelong entitlement.
This sounds like some feat:
“Walker’s campaign said the plan would be paid for by eliminating $1 trillion in taxes that are levied under the current law and by making other changes to Medicaid and how health insurance is taxed.”
Perversely, I love two year olds!!! They are hilarious, even when they are terrible. :)
No body would have been able to understand it anyway unless somebody wrote it for him. Read his quotes sometime. They are just babble.
Oh....I know that. But they should wear a sign....”Danger” “I’m two”.
