After six years of living with Obamacare, Republicans have finally produced an alternative. Other GOP proposals in recent years have been narrowly focused on the 20 million or so people who have been insured by Obamacare. The new proposal is aimed at 250 million people. It will affect health insurance for the entire population not covered by Medicare.
Although the proposal has received considerable attention, not one reporter or commentator has grasped how bold and comprehensive it is – including these very disappointing and less than careful reviews by Timothy Jost, Harris Meyer and Drew Altman.
Were it to become law, the proposal would make good on what most regard as ObamaCare’s three broken promises: universal coverage, cost control and real protection for people with pre-existing conditions.
