GOP Sen. Mike Braun (Ind.) has a stark warning for Republicans: Come up with a viable alternative to ObamaCare or face another rout in the 2020 election.
Speaking with The Hill at his office in the Senate Russell Building, Braun described the GOP's push to repeal ObamaCare without a plan of their own as one of the primary reasons for the Democratic wave election in 2018.
"What was it, about 55 House seats?," Braun said. Republicans lost 40 seats in the 2018 midterm election and Democrats earned a majority in the House for the first time since 2011.
The freshman senator is worried that Republicans are in for a repeat performance in 2020.

(58,706 posts)It is about as "user friendly" as a plan could be from those libertarian assholes.
Assuming they could come up with a plan, it would most likely feature things like "choice" and "free market principles" that would probably be worse than pre-ACA offerings.
Dems need to stress this. The plan that McCain gave the thumbs down to was essentially a handoff to Big Pharma and Big Insurance companies.
They got nothing because they don't want anything to do with regulating health care to make it more accessible and affordable. It's not in their DNA.

Sometimes things are simple.
