A Florida GOP congressman on Tuesday admitted that it's "absurd" that Republicans have repeatedly called for the repeal of Obamacare without proposing an alternative to reform the nation's health care system.

A constituent confronted Rep. Dennis Ross (R-FL) in a Tuesday town hall recorded by Think Progress.

"You've attempted to repeal it approximately 50 times. Had zero votes on a replacement. So my question is, why do you think it is so good to deny seniors on Part D to make them pay more, about $4,000 more for medicine, and people with pre-existing conditions get denied insurance, have 26-year-olds have a harder time getting insurance because they can’t get on their parents’? Why do you think those are good ideas?" the constituent asked Ross.

"I don’t," Ross responded. "And let me tell you, I think one of the most unfortunate things my party did the last three years was not offer an alternative to health care. I’ve always felt that way. I think it’s absurd when I tell people that this isn’t what you should do, but I don’t have an alternative for you."
