..to NOT repeal Obamacare..Rand Paul.

What happened to Mr Libertarian/Conservative?

Oh ye of little faith.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is pledging to roll out an ObamaCare replacement bill this week as GOP lawmakers rush to nix the healthcare law.
The Kentucky senator argued Monday that the law must be replaced with "real market reforms."
Paul's legislation comes as the Senate is expected to pave the way this week to repealing the healthcare law.

Paul is leading a small but growing number of GOP lawmakers concerned about repealing the Affordable Care Act without a replacement plan hashed out.

He added another curveball to the ongoing debate on Friday, saying President-elect Donald Trump agrees with him that the two should be moved together.

Of course. You don't just pull the rug out from under people until you have something to replace it. Not unless you want to be kicked out of office the next election.

Funny..none of the other 51 Republicans were concerned about that..just him.

..and he was just elected to another 6 year term..his seat is not up until 2022..so much for that theory.

He thinks further ahead than most.

Paul's plan is not a government replacement. It is based entirely on private insurance and personal savings.

I'm with Rand Paul. If they rush this through and it leaves people without insurance, 2020 will be a disaster for Republicans. It takes time for insurance companies to get their business together. We haven't had "across state borders" so it's a whole new ball game for them. Think about the massive paperwork they'll have, they have to get personnel, forms, regulations, etc.

Screw this up and kiss 2020 goodby. I'm pretty sure those gripping about it never worked in the medical insurance field or the medical providers field either. You don't have a magic wand. I can't believe people are pushing for immediate repeal before thinking of the FUBAR it'll creatate.
