Republicans Offer Repeal Of Health Care Law, But With Nothing To Replace

They claim their plan is to “repeal and replace,” but they haven’t developed the “replace” part.

Republican officials said the general reluctance to sketch any sort of alternative resulted from a desire to focus public attention on the health care law itself. It generally fares poorly in public polling, both nationally and in surveys of independent voters.

In addition, they said that while many Republicans ran on a slogan of “repeal and replace” in 2010, the rank and file is far from united around any precise alternative.
