Repeal and Replace
It’s been six-and-a-half long years of “repeal and replace” rhetoric, with only a vague notion of what the “replace” part would look like—until now. President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to name Georgia Rep. Tom Price as the new secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) gives us a pretty good idea.
Unlike former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who understood neither healthcare nor health policy, Price, a doctor, understands both. He introduced his own Obamacare replacement plan in 2013 and updated it in 2015.
And Price’s plan, which seeks to create a consumer-driven health care model and is already in legislative language, is very similar to House Speaker Paul Ryan’s “A Better Way” health care reform outline released earlier this year. All of which means the Price plan will likely provide the framework for the Republican plan.
