GOP asks Obama for meeting on Obamacare replacement

Three leading members of the House’s Republican Study Committee have asked President Obama for an opportunity to discuss GOP alternatives to Obamacare. Stung by repeated Democratic accusations that they have no plan to replace the troubled national health care scheme, Reps. Steve Scalise, of Louisiana, and Phil Roe and Marsha Blackburn, of Tennessee, want to discuss H.R. 3121, the American Health Care Reform Act, a GOP-sponsored bill they call a “pragmatic, practical and portable free-market alternative to the current health care system.”
