Sen. Ron Johnson says Obamacare should be repealed if GOP wins power back

[Zorro]

Sen. Ron Johnson said he wants to see the GOP repeal the Affordable Care Act if his party wins the White House and the House and Senate majorities in 2024, a move that would resurrect a fight that Republicans had waged for nearly a decade, then largely abandoned in 2018.

In an interview that aired Monday morning on Breitbart News Radio, Johnson (R-Wis.) said the GOP’s main goal was to obstruct President Biden and Democrats’ agenda until, he hoped, Republicans could win the majorities in the House and Senate in the midterm elections this year. If Republicans also won the White House in 2024, he added, that would be when they could “actually make good on what we established as our priorities.”

“For example, if we’re going to repeal and replace Obamacare — I still think we need to fix our health-care system — we need to have the plan ahead of time so that once we get in office, we can implement it immediately, not knock around like we did last time and fail,” Johnson said, referring to the signature legislation passed under President Barack Obama.

The last time Republicans controlled Congress and the White House, under President Donald Trump, the GOP’s long-promised efforts to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act failed, with three moderate Republicans refusing to support their party’s plan.

"Repeal and replace?" Where have we heard that before?

1. Yeah, do that, stupid Putin whore

[EarlG]

2. Thanks for that RonJon

Running against the repeal of the ACA has been very effective for Democrats over the last several cycles, so thanks for reminding the voters that Republicans are still threatening to do it.

[tenderfoot]

3. Replace it with what? Was he even asked?

Of course he wasn't.

[leftieNanner]

8. Of course not

But if they did ask, he would just spout the usual BS about freedom and whatever. Nothing concrete.

16. With something better...in 2 weeks.

[C_U_L8R]

4. They've had over a dozen years to come up with an alternative plan and haven't had a single idea

That alone is a compelling reason to never vote for these republican hacks.

6. Here is their new plan.....

5. Following orders

(Putin's).

I can't, with these people.

[leftieNanner]

7. In two weeks?

That was when The Orange One promised his fabulous healthcare plan.

Right?

If they were serious (and they're not) they would develop the replacement plan now. It has been the law of the land since 2010. Who knew it would take more than 12 years?

You're not going to please the American people if you yank this away from them before you let them know what they will get instead.

9. He needs to be repeeled over and over. I do not mean repealed.

[malaise]

11. Wasn't that the Slobfather's and ReTHUGs' plans

for years - fuck the collective pack.

[Ron Green]

13. One risk pool is a health care system. Multiple risk pools is an investment scheme.

We have enough investment schemes in this country; we need a health care system.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Sure sounds like a campaign ad to me...

[patphil]

15. Maybe we can 'repeal" Senator Johnson first.

[bahboo]

17. a political genius, he is not....

[spanone]

18. How many times have they tried this shit? They would NEVER replace it.

This is more ad material

[gratuitous]

19. BRING BACK DENIALS FOR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS!

I really don't care what the Republicans say their "plan" for healthcare is, this is how we should frame it.

[Emile]

20. Does he think taking away healthcare helps Americans?

All the Republican party stands for is tax cuts to tax evading billionaires.

21. "Our replacement plan is to smash windows and hang Mike"

[Rhiannon12866]

22. Good Grief! Again?? It's long past time he was repealed and replaced!

[mahina]

23. Definitely lead with that Ronnie

Dumbass

He really is the stupidest of them

[Brainfodder]

24. KARMA, can we get a RUSH on this one?

The evil stink is just too putrid and we need a break!?!
