On Tuesday night, HELP Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN) delivered the most detailed plan yet we've heard from a Republican since the election on how to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Alexander's points were clear. He didn't want to repeal Obamacare until a new plan was in place, he wanted to ensure that Republicans didn't just replace Obamacare with a 2,000-page-bill, but slowly, and he wanted to give states the ability to set their own standards on Medicaid and what counts as health insurance. He urged the federal government to keep giving subsidies to insurers to cover low income people. You can read more about what it does here....
