Rand Paul: Trump Backs Plan To Repeal, Replace Obamacare Simultaneously
Paul this week said it would be a “huge mistake” for Congress to move
forward with a quick repeal of the healthcare legislation that delays
replacement until two years down the line. In a Wednesday appearance on
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” he said “repeal and delay” could lead to
insurance company bankruptcies.
Other senators including Susan Collins (R-ME), Bob Corker (R-TN) and
Tom Cotton (R-AR) have also called for simultaneous repeal and
replacement in recent days, while Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
told TPM that the GOP conference should “listen carefully to Rand Paul.”
Republicans have yet to put forward any type of proposal for replacement, citing a lack of consensus on what it would look like.
