‘Americans Have Choices. And They’ve Got to Make a Choice.’
Republicans Monday night released a 123-page bill to repeal Obamacare, but it turns out it doesn’t actually replace it with something better. In fact, the GOP’s new plan will cost Americans more, cost taxpayers more, provide less coverage, and force millions to lose their coverage.
In other words, it breaks Trump’s campaign promises. Bigly.
As far as affordability, forget it.Â
While President Barack Obama toured the country promoting Obamacare for years, telling people that in many areas they could buy a policy for less than they were spending on their cell phone monthly service, one GOP congressman has another take.
Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the powerful chairman of the House Oversight committee, on the defensive, told the “Today” show Tuesday morning that, “You know what? Americans have choices. And they’ve got to make a choice. And so maybe rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars on, maybe they should invest in their own healthcare.”
