Jindal: Jeb should take spot at Dem debate for proposing ‘Obamacare lite’

Published



Lousiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Tuesday pounced on Jeb Bush’s healthcare proposal unvieled in New Hampshire, calling it “Obamacare Lite” and arguing that it represents surrender to liberalism.

Though Jindal said he applauded Bush for releasing a detailed plan in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner, he went on to say, “Unfortunately, both Jeb’s plan and Obamacare are both new federal entitlement programs in which the federal government pays for universal healthcare for all Americans. This is not an opinion, it is a fact.”
