According to Betsy McCaughey, a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research and a former lieutenant governor of New York, President Obama’s warning to Congress that junking the Affordable Care Act will put “133 million Americans with pre-existing conditions” in jeopardy is phony.

Can Republicans Actually Cure America’s Health Care Crisis?
A promising new day for health care is fully explained in this excellent outline in The American Conservative.

How to Fix Our Health Care and Cut Taxes
Originally posted November 30, 2016.
