Rand Paul unveils Obamacare replacement bill

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) discusses the details of the healthcare plan he hopes will replace Obamacare.

[JamesSmith-swnk]

Every other 1st world country guarantees it's citizens healthcare while spending less with better average outcomes.

Sounds like he doesn't know what the fuck he's saying.

[none]

Health saving accounts is another way of saying the rich are going to stick it to the middle class and poor. They are saying that instead of buying a house or car, for the middle class and poor, that you will put your money into a health saving account. What a joke.

[anteaterwill]

I still haven't heard anything specific from Rand.

[Searchtruth]

That was a lot more reasonable than anything I have heard from any other Republican on this matter.

Let free-market principles work.
Let insurer charge whatever they want.
Let health providers charge whatever they want.
Let people choose insurers, health providers they want.
Only mandate that everyone have accidental death/injury coverage.

I think all members of Congress should have to give up their
present insurance and join us in the insurance they prepose for us.

[achange]

What? A republican talking sense? Will believe it when we see it.

[blackqueen]

my bet is they are gonna treat the health accounts like they treated social security and you see how that is going

[micahlaraway]

only sensible idea was to legalize lower cost Rand-show me the plan!

[DarkMage]

Sounds like reforming the Affordable Care act. Then, why go through costly repealing process as well as creating uncertainty in Healthcare market and health insurance market. It doesn't sound like market oriented at all, rather different form of big government.

[hkredpill]

If the Government can "mandate" U.S. citizens to have medical insurance and penalize us if we don't, why can't they do the same to insurance companies if they want to be in the insurance business? Penalize the insurance companies when they want to pull out of the insurance exchange!!!

[pioneercolonel]

Does he know, that unless you are insured yearlong under ACA, you will be fined heavily by the IRS?
Where does this "people wait until they get sick to get coverage BS" come from?

[kylaluv]

wait he doesn't think an insurance plan shouldn't have to cover pregnancy?

[slytown]

Just because you have 4 employees, which you don't, does not mean you are a small business. It's measured by your net worth.

[voznozofficial]

Affordable Care Act sounds better than Obama Care.

[studiodacapo]

??? ...and??? Didn't your mom teach you to finish what you started?

[stevenramirez]

I like how he said most and not all. typical republican, well its look into the future

[gususalvzz]

Good haha haha. no more Obama care. 😀😀

[johnlovesroxy]

yea this is ridiculous I used to respect Rand Paul, but these are horrible ideas.
