The whole article is a criticism from the left, the basic argument being that Obamacare aims at universal coverage and the Republican plan doesn't. What's worth reading in it, though, is its detailed explanation how the supposed Republican "alternative" amounts to no more than slightly watering down the law. The plan would keep: no denials for pre-existing conditions, people up to age 26 must be allowed to stay on their parents’ plan, subsidies for millions of people (though at lower levels), taxes on high-value plans, and many of the constraints on insurance companies’ underwriting decisions. And this is from the REPUBLICANS!

Replacing the government monstrosity with the free market isn’t even on the table.

The EXEMPT still deem themselves EXEMPT
despite the fair election. -— and
the now proven LIES of the elected.

Is a French revolution required before the
EXEMPT understand that they cannot remain above the Law?

From https://www.conservativereview.com/scorecard:

Orin Hatch: 60% F
Richard Burr: 55% F
Fred Upton: 44% F

This isn’t Obamacare lite, its democrat lite. If this is the best the GOP has to offer, we are in deep dog doo.

Because it’s all about buying and selling human flesh as Body Mortages by “insurance”-”banking”. To be bought, sold, and traded, like animals, as the next Mortage Backed Securities. Trafficking

Which is why Extortion-Care was bribed through, the ponzi MBS backstop. Trafficking in the selling of Human Body Mortgages by so called “insurance-banking.”

The new MBS, leveraged to any amounts, to any forced deductibles, any forced premiums, any forced coercion taxation, any forced account seizures. The selling and trafficking in Human Body Mortgages.

Fred Upton was the man responsible for the incandescant lightbulb ban.
Orin Hatch was best friends with Drunk Teddy and it shows.....

Once they get their foot in the health care door it just a matter of slowly increasing their influence. It’s like cancer, once it establishes a presence, it begins to expand.

If it doesn’t eliminate government involvement and introduce competition, we’re just making mime motions.

“And this is from the REPUBLICANS

If we don’t get a Presidential candidate with a clear alternative to this non-sense there is really not reason to give or work for the party or even vote.

they just want to make the benefits not so attractive.

? I guess this supposed to be an effort to keep it around but an even bigger mess for purely political reasons? They do realize their name would then be on it and the Democrats could then blame them for the mess it is causing?

This is stupid.
