Government issue.... A Republican who gets it!
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/18/price-suggests-states-will-lead-on-obamacare-replacement-wants-access-for-everybody.html
Rep. Tom Price gave a glimpse Wednesday into how and when incoming President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans will replace ObamaCare, saying their goal is to “insure everybody” and suggesting the new GOP plan will largely give states the responsibility of covering Americans.
“Insurance for everybody has always been my stated goal,” Price said during the start of his Senate confirmation hearings.
He also argued that more insurance accessibility along with financial help for consumers are the keys to a better plan.
The Georgia lawmaker and orthopedic surgeon made the remarks as Americans look for details on how Trump plans to replace the 2010 health care law, which insures roughly 20 million Americans.
While Price gave some indication of Trump’s plan, he carefully made sure not to overstep the president-elect by speculating or providing extensive detail before Trump announces his plan.
Still, Price suggested Trump and congressional Republicans will incrementally replace ObamaCare, instead of substituting it with a wholesale replacement.
“I think it’s fair to say they don’t want to replace a Democratic health care plan with a Republican health care plan,” Price said before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. “Folks at the state level know their populations better.”
Trump and several congressional Republicans have separate plans to repeal and replace the law. But the timeline and which plan will emerge remains unclear.
