Since the Supreme Court last week upheld the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have been scrambling for a response. Without much to say now that the law has been ruled constitutional, the GOP has fallen back on its pledge to repeal ObamaCare. However, the new health care law provides 30 million Americans with access to health insurance. So how do Republicans plan to replace this key feature if they repeal?
Fox News’s Chris Wallace asked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) this important question on Fox News Sunday today and the senior senator from Kentucky had no answer. After McConnell meandered through the typical GOP talking points that they plan to allow the sale of health insurance across state lines and that they will institute medical malpractice reform, he finally settled on an answer: Insuring Americans “is not the issue”
Fox's Chris Wallace actually handled this in a professional way. Along with Shepard Smith, Wallace is the only other Fox pundit who, on occasion, dares call out the right wingers on their bullshit.
It's a moot point however, because the GOP has already previously informed us of their plan on how to handle sick and injured Americans who have no health insurance:
GOP Rep. Paul Broun Says All Americans Already Have Access to Health Care --- The Emergency Room
Such a simple, yet genius plan.
