Hold GOP accountable on health care plan

Republicans have been pledging to "repeal Obamacare" for over six years. All these years they've yammered and shouted but never defined what comes Day 1 after repeal. Only now are they finally confronting and struggling with the complex reality of US healthcare. Six years to come up with a plan, but no plan prepared, only talk and heel-dragging. This is unacceptable incompetence.

The structure of healthcare in the U.S. affects us all and is not a political game. It was so easy to make this a game when they did not need to deliver anything. Now we need to hold them accountable. Watch closely and note what your health care benefits were in 2016. In November 2018, vote based on whether our Republican representatives really have repealed all provisions of the Affordable Care Act and have improved the U.S. healthcare system.
