Shocker: GOP wants to keep the popular parts of “obamacare” without paying for them…
This is pretty typical for the reality impaired GOP. They want to force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions without an individual mandate that would create a big enough risk pool to pay for that coverage.
I have no doubt that they will propose some magical unicorn financing system which will make the system viable. Perhaps Iraq War oil revenue…?
This is one of those rare moments when Republicans become confronted with the reality of their own bullshit.
By the way, I wonder who the insurance companies are backing with their campaign contributions? If I were an insurance exec it would be a tough call. I guess they can afford to contribute to both sides.
