No, not really new at all.
It's budget week on Capitol Hill which means what it always means for House Republicans:
Obamacare repeal! Is there a replacement plan? Of course not!
The 43-page proposal offered by House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.) would eliminate all mandates, taxes, regulations and subsidies under the healthcare law, which the committee says would save $2 trillion.
"It is imperative that the president’s health care law be repealed so that we can start over and make targeted, common sense reforms," the committee wrote in the budget proposal. […]
Like Ryan's budget, this year's proposal does not lay out specific ways to replace ObamaCare, though the committee writes that its budget "calls for starting over with a patient-centered approach to health care reform."
"Patient-centered" reform is the code phrase for "we don't have any fucking idea." Still. Ever. This schtick is getting so old even
Republicans in the Senate dismiss it as "gimmicky," and with so, so many words. In English. To say the Republican House budget is dead on arrival is putting it mildly. Even the Senate won't go there.
By the way, Obamacare is saving the nation money, the Congressional Budget Office says, as it projects lower healthcare spending over the next decade than it had predicted before the law went into effect. By the way, too, the savings already achieved in Medicare surpass any deficit reduction plan—including the Ryan budget—that Republicans have come up with.
