MUST READ: Who Says the GOP Doesn't Have an Alternative to Obamacare....NOT SO (Two Plans included)

President Obama has tried to defend his health care plan lately by criticizing Republicans for trying to roll back ObamaCare without offering any alternatives -- despite the fact that Republicans have offered several. 
In a White House news conference a week ago, the president said: "They used to say, 'well, we're going to replace it with something better.' There's not even a pretense now that they're going to replace it with something better." 
Moments later, Obama elaborated, saying "they used to say they had a replacement. That never actually arrived, right? I mean, I've been hearing about this whole replacement thing for two years -- now I just don't hear about it, because basically they don't have an agenda to provide health insurance to people at affordable rates."

The assertion makes some Republicans livid. 
 "For the president to say that no Republican member of Congress has put up a positive solution, or a solution to the health care challenge, is simply not true," said Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., who introduced his own health care bill before ObamaCare was even passed. 
His wasn't the only one. 
"I think the president has an incredibly short memory," said John Goodman of the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas. "He seems to have forgotten his campaign spent millions and millions of dollars attacking the John McCain health plan. In fact, that was their major argument against John McCain."

After the campaign, that plan was championed in Congress and co-sponsored by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. 
Goodman explains the plan "would grant a refundable tax credit to every American. It would treat us all same, unlike ObamaCare. It would not discourage employers from hiring anyone. It would not push us all into part-time jobs." 
Goodman was referring to criticism that the current health care law will drive employers to push workers into part-time status, due to a provision that requires some employers to offer coverage to workers logging 30 hours or more per week. The White House denies this, with a top economic adviser arguing recently that there is "no systematic evidence that the Affordable Care Act is having an adverse impact on job growth or the number of hours employees are working."

Thank you for clarifying an obvious lie from the left. The accusation has never had any legs beneath it. It was nothing more than ongoing talking points designed to deceive the public which is nothing new from this administration.

LMAO- look at the subtext on the video link before you play it- ...'on his plan to REPEAL & REPLACE Obamacare'

lol 'Repeal and Replace' again. Romney's action packed, specific laden swan song.
The GOP have no plan, just bitterness and talking points.

Very unanimously approved.

hahahaha....

I'm not a very patient man and have gotten tired of the Dummycrats and their shills (no offense RM) stating that the Republicans don't have any alternatives to Obamacare.

Well Here are TWO PLANS...NEITHER with a mandate.

So SAVE THIS LINK. Next time some A-HOLE says the Republicans don't have any HERE'S AT LEAST 2 ALL IN ONE SPOT.

I just wish the American people would open their eyes and see that Obamacare is a death knell! It's true that more people are beginning to realize that it's bad news, and that the favored few who have scored exemptions makes the whole damn thing unfair for the rest of us!

NO healthcare plan is better than this! But I agree, Republicans need to somehow find a way to get their plans known.

Has it ever occurred to some that outside of the presidents ongoing and non-stop campaigning now is not the time to introduce new legislation? It isn't about not having a plan and/or getting a plan out into the public. Instead it's all about timing. I stated this before and I'll state it again. Now is not the time for us to introduce a comprehensive healthcare plan. It is illogical to have every piece of a brand new healthcare plan in place right now, because there is no reason to have one in place right now. The first step is in fact to repeal the existing law. Then comes the task of crafting the new law. Don't fall for the phony talking points of the left. There are many ideas in the works in regards to a new healthcare program, but no need to introduce new legislation at this stage.

Joel, I agree we should not introduce legislation, but it would help the public to know that the GOP has a better idea--a real solution.

These plans have been around awhile. Price's plan pre-Obamacare.

I only posted this in response to those who state the GOP have/had no plans/alternatives to Obamacare.

Nothing NEW in either of these.
