1 PROTECT OUR CARE ** WEEKLY WRAP-UP ** [ February 12-17, 2017 ] Republicans Repackage Failed Ideas to Get Political Cover During Recess Right before leaving Capitol Hill for recess, House Republican Leaders released a pamphlet of recess talking points, claiming it s their replacement plan - when in reality, it s just another attempt to rebrand their failed "repeal and delay" strategy. New analyses from Protect Our Care and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities prove that their document is a concession that Republicans don t have a way of squaring their rhetoric everyone keeps their coverage, at a lower cost and improved quality with what repeal will mean for families. To be clear, Republicans have no plan to undo that damage: as a result, 30 million more could become uninsured and premiums could double. These documents show they haven t progressed beyond the half-baked Better Way plan and other vague outlines from last year, and if scored by CBO, the ideas would fall far short of the bar that set by the Affordable Care Act. Coverage Highlights: Congress Goes Home, and Constituents Fired-Up Over Health Care Are Waiting New York Times // February 17 Republicans have long talk about replacing Obamacare, but no bill yet CNN // February 17 GOP lawmakers get details on Ryan Obamacare repeal plan and advice on how to sell it McClatchy // February 16 Republicans are running away from their constituents Washington Post // February 14 Republicans Continue to Ignore Public Backlash, Insist on Moving Forward Despite intensifying public backlash, confusion and chaos about what to do and the reality of the harm repeal will inflict on millions of Americans, some Republican members remain hell-bent on rushing forward with repeal as soon as possible:
2 President Donald Trump: So we ve begun preparing to repeal and replace Obamacare, and are deep in the midst of negotiations on a very historic tax reform to bring our jobs back, to bring our jobs back to this country. Big league. It s already happening. But big league. [President Trump Press Conference, 2/16/17] Rep Paul Ryan (R-WI): We've had a timeline for doing this, and we haven't changed our timeline at all. We're actually on schedule," House Speaker Paul Ryan insisted on Morning Joe Wednesday morning. "We have to do Obamacare first. Spring and summer is tax reform, winter and spring is Obamacare." [Vox, 2/15/17] Freedom Caucus: Republicans in Congress and President Trump promised to fully repeal Obamacare over and over again, the group wrote in a memo this week. The longer Congress delays, the less likely Obamacare repeal will ever happen, and the closer we are to the 2018 election. [Washington Post, 2/15/17] Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH): House Republicans tired of GOP leadership s slow approach to repealing the ACA. We were tired of waiting, said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) at a Wednesday press conference on the legislation, and that s why we said: Let s go. Let s go now. [Washington Post, 2/15/17] Rep. Mark Walker (R-SC): Instead of continuing to spin our wheels, we need a starting place. What the Senate passed in October 2015 is the best starting place Let s get that on that on the books, then we can move quickly after that to put in replacement components. [Politico, 2/13/17] Rep Mark Meadows (R-NC): We need to repeal it. We need to replace it. If you want to call that a repair, so be it, but I don t know that that makes it any more palatable to the folks back home. [Washington Post, 2/2/17] This Week s Local Coverage Highlights: Protesters upset with Heller about Obamacare repeal The Nevada Appeal // Steven Ranson // Feb. 14, 2017 GOP lawmakers face angry, worried constituents at town halls Alaska News Miner // Feb 10 // Erica Werner, Mike Householder Republicans so far unable to figure out how to replace Obamacare Philadelphia Daily News // Feb 16 Letter: McSally needs to hear everyone Tucson.com // Feb 15 // Kevin Henderson Tennessee Hints at Chaos If Republicans Leave Obamacare in Limbo 2/16/17 Bloomberg // Feb 16 // Zachary Tracer Editorial: Give input on future of national healthcare Daily News Journal // Feb 14 // Dr. Susan Andrews Editorial: Why as a doctor I am concerned about repealing Obamacare Bangor Daily News // Feb 12 // Dr. Julia McDonald Obamacare Repeal: Body blow to state s economy Payson Roundup // Feb 14 // Peter Aleshire New TV Ads Launch in Key States Ahead of Recess Week As Congress heads home, a seven-figure ad campaign will air throughout February recess in Alaska, Arizona, Maine, Nevada and West Virginia, featuring stories of people who will lose their healthcare if Congress rips up the Affordable Care Act without a plan that makes sure that they can keep their coverage.
