    The Republicans' Long-Awaited Obamacare Replacement Has a Splashy New Website That Tells Us Nothing

    https://abetterhealthcareplan.co…

    Imagine a new path forward. A health insurance that provides more choices and better care at lower costs. A system that puts patients and doctors in charge, provides peace of mind to people with preexisting conditions, and paves the way for new cures by eliminating senseless regulation. House Republicans have a plan to get there, without disrupting existing coverage, giving your family the healthcare it deserves.
