Just in case you needed a reminder, this is what the Republicans are really proposing when they say they want to repeal Obamacare ...
The positive developments from Obamacare are real. Untold millions have already benefited. These developments help explain why the only debate we should be having about Obamacare today is whether we should be expanding it, and moving it towards a single payer system.
Instead, we're talking about how the GOP wants to repeal Obamacare, which would take us back to a path that has given us the world's most expensive health care system, with surprisingly mediocre outcomes. Not surprisingly, the talking heads at Fox News are engaged in some serious navel gazing, as they float incredibly misleading stories about the costs associated with the Obamacare website (which was created in the private sector, mind you).
At the end of the day, instead of highlighting or explaining that national health care costs actually goes down by over $100 billion under Obamacare - while covering many more Americans - the GOP is pushing an empty alternative that simply takes us back to a failed model from the past.
It's really that simple.
