Republicans had 10 years to show Americans what their health care alternative is to Obamacare and Democratic healthcare proposals.

Despite the unpopularity of Obamacare from 2010 to 2017, originally, Obamacare became a favored healthcare entitlement program like Social Security, Medicare, and other liberal government programs.


What is the GOP healthcare plan?

Why worry about it? The vote to repeal Obamacare failed.

So everyone relax and enjoy the ACA.

It will be allowed to limp along, with the GOP continually weakening it and trying to destroy it, until 2020, when the Democrats will pass Medicare For All. We just have to hang on to what's left of the ACA until then.

I will be forever grateful for Senator McCain allowing me to keep my health insurance. His last vote was for the good of all Americans. Kudos to him for that.

The GOP has absolutely nothing to offer when it comes to this issue. That has been clear for decades now. The only thing they can do is oppose, oppose, oppose. Time for them to go.

I think the Republican health care plan was something closely resembling the ACA. You know, like Romneycare. Then when Obama passed Obamacare, they naturally had to be vehemently opposed to it, making it obvious that they had no reasonable alternative to offer.

I know of no legislation passed by Republicans that destroyed it. It's still hanging around. If it's limping along what are Democrats doing about it, besides whining?

McCain's vote did me no favors whatsoever.

The GOP has plenty to offer to people who don't want to sit back and let the government do everything for them. If you live your life based on what a politician or political party offers you you're leading a pathetic life.

What exactly has the GOP offered by way of healthcare? Aside from trying to take it away from millions of people?

The corollary to which is - if you DO get sick, you deserve to lose everything you own and live out of a shopping cart.

I purchased private healthcare for my family starting in 2000.

I actually didn't need the GOP to do it for me.

BO took it away.
