Trump budget chief: Insurance 'not really the end goal' with GOP healthcare plan

The director of the Office of Management and Budget on Wednesday said insurance is "not really the end goal" of the GOP plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

"We're looking at it a different way...because insurance is not really the end goal here," Mick Mulvaney said on MSNBC, when asked about his range of estimate of how many fewer people would have health insurance under the GOP's plan.

"One of the conservatives, one of the Republicans complaints about the Affordable Care Act from the very beginning, it was a great way to get insurance and a lousy way to actually be able to go to the doctor."

Mulvaney said the Republicans are instead looking at what they think is "more important to ordinary people."

I agree with the headline but not the explanation. The end goal is more tax cuts for those who need them the least.
