H.H.S. Secretary Azar: No Obamacare Replacement Plan Before Election

The Trump administration doesn’t expect to release a detailed health care plan until the Supreme Court rules on the legality of the Affordable Care Act, said U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. “We’ll work with Congress on a plan if the ACA is struck down,” Azar said on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press.’
“We’ll see what the Supreme Court rules.”

President Donald Trump’s administration last week told the Supreme Court that the ACA, better known as Obamacare, is invalid, including its protections for people with pre-existing conditions. “The entire ACA thus must fall” the administration said in a brief filed late Thursday.

The court is likely to hear the case around the time of the election, but potentially not until after Americans cast their votes on Nov. 3. That would leave voters in the dark about how their health care, typically ranked as among the most important issues, might change in 2021 and beyond.

Democrats rode the health care issue in the 2018 midterm elections to retake control of the House and they’re planning to do it again in November, when the White House and both chambers of Congress will be on the line.

1. Even the thought of TAKING AWAY health care insurance...

Will drive voters to the Polls for Democrats. Republicans are so oblivious to the issues that concern voters. They have not learned from 2018 apparently.

2. There was never any plan for a "replacement"

They just want to go back to the “good old days” when insurance companies and employers had all the power, and we little people were free to die.

3. And, There Still Isn't A Plan

They've just got a burr in their sock over the ACA.

4. If they had a better plan, you'd think they'd want to tell everyone about it.

If they really had a plan that was better and cheaper, as Trump claims, it would only help them to release it before the election. The fact that they don't tells you all you need to know.

5. Isn't that what they said before the last election?

And the one before that?

I mean, not even the finished product, just... a plan?

6. The only plan I've heard them speak of is Bleach

Vlad has no healthcare plan for America.

7. LOL!

8. No plan before the election? No plan ever.

These dunces don’t have a plan now, didn’t have a plan when they crucified Obama for eight years, and won’t have a plan in the future. It’s all just word salad.

What they do want us a continuation of the rape and injustice that was perpetrated on the American public for all too many years. Money is all that they understand. And at this point, all that money and greed may not do them much good this November, or so we hope.
