Mitch McConnell On 30 Million Uninsured: 'That Is Not The Issue' (VIDEO) (interview, health care system)

[SHABAZZ310]

These people want to repeal something and they don't have an alternative that's viable! The GOP wouldn't even be touching healthcare reform if the Democrats didn't try to make things better first. They're reactionaries! The only issue the GOP is willing to get out in front of is tax cuts for the rich...

WASHINGTON -- Republicans have said repeatedly that the landmark health care reform law, upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court last week, must be repealed and replaced. But the GOP leader in the U.S. Senate gave a surprising answer on "Fox News Sunday" when asked how Republicans would provide health care coverage to 30 million uninsured Americans.

"That is not the issue," Sen. Mitch McConnell said. "The question is how to go step by step to improve the American health care system. It is already the finest health care system in the world."

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace interrupted, "You don't think 30 million uninsured is an issue?"

"We're not going to turn the American health care system into a western European system," McConnell said. "That's exactly what is at the heart of Obamacare. They want to ... have the federal government take over all American health care. The federal government can't handle Medicare or Medicaid."

Wallace pressed McConnell, noting that the Affordable Care Act will prohibit insurance companies from not offering plans to individuals with pre-existing health conditions. "If you repeal Obamacare, how will you protect those people with pre-eexisting conditions?"

What do you expect from Huff Post, the truth? get real

In their first sentence they prove they know how to twist things, "upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court last week,"

It was NOT held constitutional. The mandate AND the forcing states to join was found UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The only thing they did rule in favor of the taxing part, which Obama himself said over and over it wasn't a tax.

Why didn't you show more of the interview? Afraid of the truth.

Post fail.
