At CPAC 2022, Indiana GOP Senator Mike Braun Calls Out GOP For Lacking Alternative To Obamacare When It Was Proposed

[basquebromance]

from the 2018 Indiana Senate debate:

“I was the deciding vote that saved coverage for pre-existing conditions.” - Joe Donnelly, boasting about voting against GOP Obamacare repeal bill.

“You delivered us Obamacare, which is falling apart.” — Mike Braun responds.

He's following in McCain's footsteps.

Truth is it should have been repealed without being replaced.

There is not plan that will work for a national healthcare system that is not science based, not profit based. Thus, what was it Trump said? he was coming out with a cheaper plan that would cover everyone and everything. Cant be done, but he didnt really realize how complicated it was.

 

[rightwinger]

Republicans never wanted any Government Healthcare Plan

So you support the insurance company death panels that used to be able to impose annual and lifetime caps on coverage, kick people off the policy when they got too sick, sell junk policies that covered little while millions of Americans could not afford insurance at all? What a guy!

What was the response he got from that audience OP?

 

[mak2]

lol

Tell me about your plan.

 

[Synthaholic]

Obamacare is bigger and better than ever. And extremely popular.

Obamacare is bigger and better than ever. And extremely popular.

As our nation gets poorer, medical care will be meted out with limits to each individual.

 

[MarcATL]

Tell me about your plan.

Medicare for all.

Our taxes pays for it.

Everyone's covered.

Done.

When in office, Trump kept talking on and on about replacing the program. When pressed for specifics, he'd only just say "You're going to love it. It'll be terrific..." In other words, he never had any clue what would replace it, and the GOP still has no real idea what it would put in its place.

I'm actually gonna listen to this video later today.

Also too, he always said "it's two weeks away" whenever pressed for a timeframe on his plan.

That guy is such a dunce!

Because he was a moron....but as long as he hated the same people reactionary right wing morons hate -- they will overlook the fact he is a moron.....

But please....I want Republicans to campaign on stripping away healthcare from millions and replacing it with nothing.....

That was exactly the problem. There is only one way to do it.

How is our nation becoming poorer if Trump delivered us the greatest most awesome economy in the history of civilization?? On top of that, he cut down debt to zero.......because of his brilliant financial mind.....


how is this nation getting poorer?

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

That was exactly the problem. There is only one way to do it.

If taking away healthcare is the winning strategy for Republicans, they should run on it....but they don't

Why?? Is it unpopular??

I thought Americans loved imposing austerity cuts on those with the least amount of power while lavishing luxuries on those in the top 10%?? I mean, that has basically been the Conservative policy for the past 20 or 30 years....why do they not just be honest about it?

Why do you hate capitalism?

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Why do you hate capitalism?

Thanks for admitting Capitalism has done a shit job of dealing with providing affordable healthcare......

Again, why is it that Republicans don't campaign on stripping healthcare away from millions??

For that matter, Republicans should also be campaigning on doing away with Medicare too.....

Why are Republicans so afraid to run on it??
