GOP senator: House Republicans’ ObamaCare replacement plan a ‘horrible idea’
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is criticizing the House GOP’s proposal to replace the Affordable Care Act, labeling it “a horrible idea.”
“If we load down the repeal discussion with what comes next, I think it’s going to make it a lot harder to get either one of them done,” Lee said during a briefing, as reported by Roll Call on Thursday.
{mosads}“We need to repeal it first before deciding what comes next. I think there is a lot of agreement among Republicans in Congress with regard to the repeal bill. There is a lot less agreement on what comes next,” the lawmaker added.
House Republicans have mentioned several possible ObamaCare replacement policies to include in their repeal legislation.
Those policies are likely to focus on tax credits for those who choose to buy health insurance on the individual market, funding of high-risk pools, an expansion of health savings accounts and other features.
