Tom Cole on Repealing ObamaCare:’Standing Around Doing Nothing’ Is Not an Alternative

EXCERPT:

COLE: "You know, nobody that is on ObamaCare now needs to worry. You’re safe through the end of the year. My guess is probably next year as well because the plan for next year is being written now and has to be approved by April and there won’t be a legislative alternative until then. We are working with the insurance companies. I’m actually involved in discussions in that because of where I sit on the Appropriations Committee now to make sure that they have the subsidies they need to continue to provide plans. But the problem we have in my state is, look, this thing isn’t working. We are one of five states who are down to a single insurer now for the entire state if you’re on ObamaCare and your rates are going up 69 percent. It’s not like standing around doing nothing is an alternative or that this is a functioning system."
