The end of the ad directs viewers to learn more at https://abetterhealthcareplan.com/. But when you visit the site, its just a big video of the same ad that directed you to the site, along with two brief sentences of text. (There is a plan to get there. The House Republican Healthcare Plan lowers costs, provides more control and more choices to pick a plan that meets our needs, not a plan that Washington mandates.) The Republican plan turns out to consist of an assurance that there is indeed a plan.
The Republican Party, faced with the catastrophic real-world consequences of repealing the Affordable Care Act, is divided over how to proceed. Some nervous Republicans want to figure out what they want to put in place of Obamacare. Senator Mike Lee insists that Republicans repeal Obamacare first, before they decide on an alternative. And his reason is straightforward: If people saw the Republican alternative, they might not like it! There is a lot less agreement about what comes next, he tells Julie Rovner. If we load down the repeal bill with what comes next, its harder to get both of them passed.
