"Repealing the law would allow Congress to enact meaningful reform measures that reduce cost, expand access and improve quality."

LOL and what might these magical policies be? Where is this secret Replace plan? The fact is that Obamacare already stole all of the non-scam Republican health care policy ideas, and they have nothing left to offer.

Dent gets my vote, NOT! The GOP has had Years to come up with a plan for much needed reform, and did nothing. The current plan definitely needs some tweaking, but it is a start.

Politicians like Dent have made it political with their one- sided view to scrub the entire law without offering an alternative plan..Obama addressed health care because the free market had constructed a system that allowed insurers to drop sick policy holders, to refuse coverage for preexisting conditions, and to set low lifetime benefits. That's now changed. Also, insurers must now spend 80 % of consumers' premiums on health care and not on exuberant salaries or frivolous luxuries.
Over 28,000 Americans ( not illegal aliens, not undocumented workers ) died unnecessarily last year due to poor or no health care. That is a sad statistic for a great country like the United States. What's worse is that politicians like Dent don't even care.

take the DENT OUT, no ideas,just take care of the rich,AND MAYBE IT WILL TRICKLE DOWN,YEA OK BEEN THERE DONE THAT..HOW IS YOUR HEALTH CARE MR.DENT?

So typical of Charles Dent. A pretend friend of Democrats. I hope no one in his family has a pre- existing disease.

Shame on Mr Dent and all republicans. They must be so proud of themselves. The party of No. Jim Feigert

Charlie Dent Is following the party line, but at least is willing to reeal and replace the bad parts. NOT the the whole thing!!! LIke many tea party turds and right wing wackos want. The 2nd last paragraph says just that.

What did the vote accomplish other than to waste tax dollars paying these clowns for clowning around rather than performing their civic duty?

Shame!

So Charlie, you get to say "see what a good Republican I am?" Charlie no-one believes Republicans really care about reforming health care. Republicans have proven that over and over again in my lifetime. This last time was your best chance and once again you all said no to everything. You are on the wrong side Charlie!

Thanks Charlie, I don't want an army of IRS agents enforcing my healthcare while most doctors quit and don't even see medicare patients. The gobment has no place in my health care.

This plan is nothing more than a recap of the Republican plan from the '80s and '90s. The problem is todays republicans do not have the same beliefs and attitudes from those years. If anything todays republicans are yesterdays dixiecrats with all the baggage that entails.

How about something new. We allow all the insurance companies to come into our states and Commonwealths and show us what they got. We then select a plan or put one together with the agent's help and then we pay for it. I know most of us are to dumb to figure this out so let's let Charlie and his political cronies devise a plan for all of us. It will cost a gazillion dollars and we will get to pay higher taxes and not know what is in the plan. Charlie should be replaced.

Whenever a plan was proposed, it was immediately shot down by the Dem's because it wasn't their plan. Repub's are not going to tell what they have in mind because the liberal press get's together with the far left(most Dem's) to demagogue the issue.

Good for Charlie Dent; Obamacare will destroy our economy. Costing TRILLIONS, Obamacare is nothing more than a farce for the democrats to get their hands on more of the taxpayer's money. Vote REPUBLICAN in Novoember, throw all the democratic cronies out!

Pan Dora is crackers. What is it with you right wing crazies anyway..Obamacare will destroy our economy??? Just plain nutzo..That what these Republican Nazis said when they attacked Medicare and Social Security..Crazy, just freaking crazy..get out of the sun already, lol

The children are still at play in Washington ! Tis a bloody shame that we pay them to behave so stupidly . Will Congress EVER do anything - they were elected to serve EVERY American NOT those with big rolls of money .

Every industrial democracy in the world provides healthcare for all its citizens, and they do it for less than the current high cost U.S. system. The society Pan Dora seems to desire, is one with an invisible government where citizens are in an ideal independent state, kind of like Somalia.

It amazes me how people think " TAX " is a bad word. That is how a civilized country works.
How else would you have a strong military, keep Veterans' Hospitals open, fund the G.I. Bill, have new interstate highways, pay police and firemen, keep the Small Business Association, have FEMA for natural disasters and other programs ???
For those who want , " The Government out of our Lives ", of course, you people never used any of these government services. Right ?

Don't stop at Obamacare, get the government and their red tape and regulations out of health insurance all together and we will see real competition and dropping rates for insurance across the nation. Allow insurance companies to offer custom tailored insurance for businesses and independent groups and watch the rates drop and drop over a few years while they all scramble for your business.

pan dora is correct i wish i could add to pan dora's comments, but i am happy to just read the truth as told by pan dora
