Senators unveil 'repeal and replace' plan

Senators unveil 'repeal and replace' plan-politico: Three senior Senate Republicans on Monday released a proposal to repeal and replace Obamacare, the most serious policy alternative in the Senate since the president’s health law passed nearly four years ago. Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Richard Burr of North Carolina released a legislative outline that would give tax credits to people who aren’t employed at a large company, allow states to establish high-risk pools and dramatically reshape the nation’s Medicaid program, all paid for by capping the tax break for employer health plans.
