HERE’S THE LINK TO THE TEXT OF THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT.
We’ve already seen that Rand Paul isn’t happy with many of the details he’s seen, and he’s called it “Obamacare light.” He set out three reasons why he says it’s not a republican bill, and we have those here.
Paul Ryan responded by saying that Rand was just looking for a publicity stunt. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio seems to favor a partial repeal, to ease in the effects of discontinuing Obamacare. It’s gonna take a while to sift through the enormous bill – we’ll make sure to bring you the best commentary on it…
The abolition of Obamacare is the repeal of 20 taxes adding up to ONE TRILLION DOLLARS in tax cuts over the decade.
