Lindsey Graham, Ron Johnson, Rick Santorum Reveal Their Obamacare Block Grant Repeal Legislation

[bilo]

The Graham-Cassidy bill will repeal Obamacare’s individual and employer mandate, Obamacare’s medical device tax, and deliver health care to the states so that local governments can design a more affordable alternative to the Affordable Care Act. GCHJ strengthens the ability for states to waive Obamacare regulation, such as community ratings and essential health benefits. The bill will also allow Americans to use their Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to purchase health insurance and pay for premiums, an idea first sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

“There are three choices: prop up Obamacare, Berniecare, and our bill,” charged Graham. “Bernie, this ends your dream of a single-payer healthcare system.”

...Republicans have to pass GCHJ before the September 30 deadline; the end of September is the last chance to use budgetary reconciliation to pass an Obamacare repeal bill. Graham said, “I’m urging the White House to call governors and to urge Mitch McConnell to take action. I’m telling the Republican party that we have not tried everything.”

I think block granting the money to the States and letting them do what they want is a lot better than a Fed Govt in control approach. I'm doubtful the Pubs can get this done in 2 1/2 weeks, we'll see.

I doubt they could get it done in 2 1/2 decades, but we'll see.

Their inability to fulfill this promise is part of the reason they will be a minority party in the not to distant future. I'm sure adding another million Rat voters with amnesty will contribute to their decline as well.
