Dr. Zeke Emanuel Falsely Claims Republicans Have Never Offered an ObamaCare Alternative

‘And I don’t think we’ll get one in the next year and a half’

EXCERPT:

EMANUEL: "Yeah, but I don’t think the public is willing to tolerate that. And here is — I think the most important piece of data there is that more than 50 percent of Republicans are interested in Medicare for All. That suggests there is a lot of uncertainty and fear in the system. Especially fear if we have a recession that they might lose coverage and that there won’t be a coherent safety net and I think that is driving a lot of the health care debate, and I think the President has no answer to that. 'Trust me' is not an answer. Especially since the Republicans, as I keep pointing out, we’ve had nine years since the debate about ObamaCare, since ObamaCare was passed and they have never once put out a coherent policy alternative, so I don’t think we’re about to get one in the next year and a half."
