Rand on ObamaCare Replacement: GOP ‘Adding in Some New Gov’t Programs’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KILMEADE: "By the way, the freedom caucus, Jim Jordan says I'm with Rand Paul. Not with Paul Ryan. So that's a little bit of a problem if Republicans want to get on the same page. But that gap period is what gets the average American concern. Oh, my goodness what's going to happen in the interim? I thought you were one of the people that called up the president and said I really think we have to have a replace ready to go?"
PAUL: "We do have a replacement bill, and I would put it forward on the exact same day. And this replacement bill that we have would lower insurance cost. That's what the president mentioned in his speech. We want less expensive insurance for everybody in the country. The other aspect of our plan that is fascinating is that we will not have anybody left in the individual market. Everybody in the individual market will be able to join an association, which is group insurance, which is protected for preexisting conditions and also gets you a cheaper price. We will have people in associations that may be, you know, the farm bureau, for example. If the farm bureau did this nationally, they would have a couple hundred thousand people buying insurance but one person would negotiate a lower rate for everybody and there would be a group insurance policy. Insurance companies would hate it. That's why they don't like insurances because we would empower the consumer. But we have a replacement plan. It's not a government plan. It's a free market plan."
