Sens. Cotton, Boozman support repeal of 'Obamacare' without immediate replacement
Michael Buckner , KTHV 3:47 PM. CDT July 18, 2017

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - United States Senators Tom Cotton and John Boozman, who have previously avoided public comment on the Senate health care bill, have said they would support a bill that would repeal the Affordable Care Act with a two-year delay to allow for a replacement.

On Tuesday morning, Cotton joined local radio station KARN to talk about the failure of the Senate Republican health care bill and the potential plan to repeal "Obamacare."

Cotton told KARN host Kevin Miller that some have benefited from the Affordable Care Act, but claimed many more have been "hurt" by it.

"We certainly can't drop health care though," Cotton said. "It's too important to too many Arkansans to just walk away from it."

Why the hell not?  Get government out of health care completely and let the insurance companies sell a variety of policies from which consumers can choose.  Let the free market prevail.
