Health Care

The Republican Obamacare Repeal: Two Pages Versus Two Thousand

  • by Benjamin Domenech
  • January 3, 2011
Tweet
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) uploaded the text of the repeal measure the House Republicans are likely to consider within the next ten days, and its simplicity stands in stark contrast to the two-thousand-page behemoth of legislative hubris which passed the Chamber last year. You won’t have to pass this one to know what’s in it:
