ObamaCare Needs to Be Deep-sixed, Not “Fixed”
Item: “Some Republicans in Congress,” notes an article on Bloomberg.com for February 1, 2017, written by Anna Edney, Billy House, and Zachary Tracer, “are starting to talk more about trying to ‘repair’ Obamacare, rather than simply calling for ‘repeal and replace.’”
The article noted that Republicans had proposed amendments “to shore up Obamacare” to be discussed at a hearing that week.
Steve Beshear, the former Democratic governor of Kentucky, was to play the “role of the ACA’s defender” at the hearing. “Beshear, who implemented the state’s Obamacare rollout and expansion of Medicaid, will put the stakes in stark terms. ‘The ACA has saved lives, led millions to gain coverage, and benefited every American,’ according to his prepared remarks. ‘Repeal without a broad, comprehensive replacement will cause millions to lose their insurance, and many will die.’”
