One Republican congressman is attempting to do what Paul Ryan, and Donald Trump, and the entire Republican establishment failed to do last week. He’s trying to repeal Obamacare — and he’s got a bill that would do exactly that.
With a simple two-page document, an Alabama congressman has filed a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives to repeal Obamacare.
Or, as it is stated in the bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, introduced the bill Friday.
“This Act may be cited as the ‘Obamacare Repeal Act,'” the bill states.
And the bill uses just one sentence to do it.
“Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted,” the bill states.
Despite the fact that iterations of this bill have been passed several times under Barack Obama, the bill will likely be dead-on-arrival. Trump has promised both repeal and replace, and neither he nor Ryan appear willing to do the former without the latter.
Still, if Republicans fail to agree on what a new health care bill will look like, they will always have this in their back pocket in case Obamacare completely implodes upon itself.
