How The GOP Will Replace Obamacare
By Grace-Marie Turner There have been calls from the Right and the Left over the last several months for Republicans to unite behind a single health reform bill to show how they would replace ObamaCare.

In his economic address at the Washington Navy Yard on September 16, President Obama bragged that “Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years,” and attributed that to his Affordable Care Act, “which has helped to keep down the rise in health care costs to their lowest level in 50 years,” he claimed.
