Jeffrey Anderson, writing at the Federalist, calls Scott Walker’s Obamacare replacement proposal a “winning conservative alternative.” Here an excerpt:
Walker’s alternative to Obamacare is well-conceived across the board. It would lower costs, secure liberty, and make it possible for anyone who wants health insurance to be able to get it. It would repeal Obamacare’s unprecedented individual mandate, its employer mandate, its coverage requirements, its abortion funding, its centralization and consolidation of power and money in Washington. In fact, it would repeal every last word of President Obama’s signature legislation.
In its place, it would offer real reform. It would encourage people to shop for value and ask to see prices. It would promote the use of Health Savings Accounts and reduce the role of the insurer or government as middleman. It would preserve the employer-based market and revitalize an individual market that the federal government had broken even before the Democrats passed Obamacare and made everything so much worse. In so doing, it will help pave the way to full repeal.
