Largest group of doctors in the country warns the GOP doesnt have any real health care plans

Like the RW Washington Examiner, the AMA also warns Republicans against repeal without any replacement in place first...

The largest group of doctors in the country is cautioning Republican leaders to come up with a real plan to replace Obamacare before forging ahead with repeal.

On Tuesday, Republicans took the first step toward rolling back the law, introducing a budget resolution that will allow Congress to sidestep a Democratic filibuster and dismantle key parts of Obamacare. Republican leaders have signaled they plan to use this budget process to produce legislation by January 27 that includes repealing portions of health reform.

But repealing Obamacare is the easy part. What to do next is much harder — and GOP lawmakers don’t have that part figured out.

Although Republicans have been railing against Obamacare for the better part of six years, they haven’t come up with any concrete policy ideas to reshape our nation’s complicated insurance industry and prevent 20 million Americans from losing the health coverage they gained under Obamacare. GOP leaders have never been able to coalesce around a meaningful plan.

1. "GOP leaders have never been able to coalesce around a meaningful plan."

Truth is they haven't even been able to articulate even one meaningful plan so anyone could even begin talking about it.

It will be up to the states to salvage a health plan out of the ruins. Pity the states run by the tea party. I was happy to hear Massachusetts Republican governor, Charlie Baker, say Mass will continue the plan which existed before the Feds adopted it for the entire country. How it will be paid for is another story.

2. They haven't been able to "coalesce around a meaningful plan" because

they don't believe in ANY plan for healthcare! They believe that if you can't afford it, you should go ask your church or have a bake sale.
