what ever happened to the GOP's "replace" for Obamacare?

[CTyankee]

Their mantra was "repeal and replace." They voted a lot on repeal but we never heard about "replace."

Did I miss something?

[Historic NY]

1. Its the "I don't care plan"....

doing nothing means its implemented.

[CTyankee]

3. now THAT makes sense...

[Exilednight]

2. There was nothing to miss. They never had any thing to replace it. n/t

[CTyankee]

4. OK, so they just "said" it cuz it sounded good...

at least to themselves.

[Whiskeytide]

5. The insurance industry has...

... done quite well under the ACA. They don't want to replace it. They just use the repeal clowns as as Circus act now.

6. It went to the same place their jobs program went.nt

[CTyankee]

8. Um, what exactly WAS their jobs program?

Oh, wait, was that the part where they said reduce taxes on the "job creators"? OK, taxes duly reduced, now where are the jobs? Did I miss something AGAIN?

[sufrommich]

12. Here's their pathetic,vague list:

Job Creation: Getting Americans Back to Work
Small Business and Entrepreneurship
Tax Relief to Grow the Economy and Create Jobs
American Competitiveness in a Global Economy
Fundamental Tax Principles
Reining in Out-of-Control Spending, Balancing the Budget, and Ensuring Sound Monetary Policy
Balancing the Budget
Inflation and the Federal Reserve
Ending the Housing Crisis and Expanding Opportunities for Homeownership
Rebuilding Homeownership
Infrastructure: Building the Future
More American Jobs, Higher Wages, and A Better Standard of Living
A Twenty-First Century Workforce
Freedom in the Workplace


Tax breakin' fer job creators!

[CTyankee]

14. great sounding list...where are the details?

[TexasProgresive]

7. The only replacement is

None- As ACA helps more and more people it is increasingly political suicide to oppose it.
or
Single Payer - this is their worst nightmare.

[CTyankee]

10. they must be pretty suicidal about this now...more people depending on the government

and having a life of dependency...gosh, what a tragedy in their lives!

[panader0]

9. They're workin' hard--it's hard work and they're workin' hard...

ETA: Bush speech:

[CTyankee]

11. yep, have they stopped repealing it yet?

Or has that gig worn out its welcome?

[malaise]

13. They're waiting for the Koch brothers or ALEC

to formally give them permission to announce it.

[Kingofalldems]

15. It's locked away in a vault, to be revealed in the year 3000.

Kind of like the 3rd secret of Fatima.

[CTyankee]

16. Oh, of course, why didn't I think of that...

[TheKentuckian]

17. It is sitting next to the plans to "fix it later" and Obama's comfortable walking shoes.
