Gov. Walker offers plan to replace Obamacare

Minnesota Republicans will cast ballots on March 1, as part of the “Super Tuesday” bloc that could be decisive if the early voting states fail to elevate a likely nominee.

Unlike ObamaCare, his plan would also allow groups, such as small businesses or farmers, to band together to negotiate lower rates, and allow all individuals to purchase coverage across state lines. “I will fight for the American people over and over and over and over again”, said Walker. While most of the 17 Republican presidential candidates have echoed that pledge, few have offered detailed alternative plans.

Back in the Hawkeye State for the first time since ceding to Donald Trump his status as the Republican frontrunner there, Walker was met with questions about Trump’s newly released immigration reform plan and how it stacks up with his own views. Young people continue to lose work and health benefits over it, and their premiums are exponentially higher now. Scheduled to appear Monday were Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former business executive Carly Fiorina and South Carolina Sen.

That followed a report which found the Obamacare mandate could force many grad students into poverty. It was an indirect jab at some his rivals for the 2016 GOP nomination who are members of Congress.

Mr. Walker’s health-care rollout is likely to raise the ire of Democrats and comes a day after he tried to stabilize his flagging campaign’s poll numbers by attacking congressional GOP leadership. “The risk is that it opens you up to other entities scoring your plan and highlighting perceived gaps”.

“It’s August, we’re still waiting for that measure”, he added.

In his prepared remarks, Walker also criticizes Republican lawmakers in Washington, D.C., for not doing more to repeal Obamacare. John Kasich and Chris Christie, who embraced the health law’s Medicaid expansion in their states.

WISC-TV’s Jessica Arp is in Minneapolis and will have more details about his plan Tuesday.

Hagle said, “Will they want a walker?” “They don’t need a teleprompter or talking points”. But it is not almost as clear-cut as the critiques that can be lobbed at Kasich or Christie for supporting Medicaid expansion. It preserves the state’s safety net and provides health insurance without subjecting Wisconsin to unpredictable federal budget decisions.

Walker’s plan does not include cost figures or an estimate of the number of people who would be covered, making it almost impossible to compare with current law.

He concluded, “it’s time for us to realize there’s nothing wrong with living by Godly principles, loving your fellow man, caring about your neighbor, developing your God-given talents to their utmost so you can become valuable to the people around you, having values and principles that govern your life – and if we do that – not only will we remain a pinnacle nation, but we will truly remain one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all“. As the intermittent booing at the start of his speech gave way to outright shouting by the end, Walker had a coherent response to the protesters: I’ve seen this all before, and I’m not going anywhere.
