Sorry Bobby, doodling on your Denny’s menu isn’t really an adequate plan.

“Replacing Obamacare with this plan would probably result in millions of people losing their coverage, and I think that would doom it.”
But doesn't that make it the perfect healthcare plank for the GOP convention platform?

This is just little Pyush’s desperate plea for some attention.
For God’s sake, will someone please pay attention to me?? I’m running for president you know. I’ll just be over here…in the corner…dum-dee-dum-dee-dum…

I’m the only potential candidate with a detailed plan to repeal and
replace Obamacare," Jindal said in an interview with CNN on Thursday.
More bullsh*t from Piyush:
- health savings accounts,
- privatizing parts of Medicare,
- handing over Medicaid to the states,
- health care tax breaks.
EVERY Rethug’s got the same ideas. They went nowhere then; they’ll go nowhere now.

Jindal also said he knows where Jimmy Hoffa is buried and where Judge Crater wandered off to. Just send $100 in a SASE to the Louisiana Governor’s Mansion for details.

Did he provide links to that detailed “Replacement Plan?”
I really wish to read that.
Did anybody bother asking him for those links? A printed copy? Dictaphone ramblings of what he thought might be the outline of a plan?
Perhaps even

well at least he is one of the few who has a plan. It is not a good plan, but it’s a plan.
I am sure the 1% of Republican voters out there who consider you their candidate will be thrilled to hear about your plan, Bobby… the rest of us, well, we don’t really give a shit.

Oh boy. We already have those. Maybe if you save 100% of your after-tax earnings, you might be able to pay for 10% of the bill should you come down with a serious illness. How does this help you if you’re unemployed or a minimum wage worker?
another Republican wet dream, privatizing everything so their Wall Street buddies can steal the money.
which will leave millions uninsured, especially in states run by dickhead GOP governors like Nikki Haley.
For the millionth time, the problem with health care affordability is not that you are taxed to death.
I’m sure tort reform is in there too, which is like 2% to 4% of the problem with health care expenses. But it sure is another GOP wet dream to defund the trial lawyers. Does he also proposed allowing insurers to compete across state lines? If so, that’s another shitty idea doomed to disaster.
There are only two answers to providing comprehensive health care to an entire nation. One is the private insurance approach like what the US now has. Everyone is required to buy health insurance, and the industry is tightly regulated as are profits. Or, nationalized single-payer health care.
That’s it. That’s all there is, there is no need to reinvent the wheel unless one truly doesn’t care about the uninsured or medical bankruptcy. That’s why there is such a dearth of GOP alternatives and the few that there are, none of them can agree upon one or the other.

The GOP should cease being coy about what they really want, just pass the Soylent Green Act and get it over with.

Ah, we won’t be fooled again. Ryan gave us a detailed plan with no detail before.

Bobby could have a plan to turn piss into gasoline and it still wouldn’t raise his poll numbers.

" I’m the only potential candidate with a detailed plan to repeal and

Jindal has indicted his own party for their failure to have any replacement for the ACA. But then I haven’t seen any evidence Jindal has a workable plan that is any better than the ACA. To be better it would of necessity add a single payer system via the government and THAT’S not likely. Sooo, as @Suicide_Arsonist said doodling a plan on a Denny’s menu ain’t worth a beignet stuffed with poo.

"I spent the last year and a half putting together details policies on energy, healthcare, education, foreign policy. I'm the only potential candidate with a detailed plan to repeal and replace Obamacare," Jindal said
Oh hell, now he’s simply bragging about all the things he honestly has no clue about.
Shorter Jindal: “Look at me! Look at me!”

Jindal’s brilliant plan, if you read it, replaces the guaranteed health coverage of Obamacare with a kick in the teeth.

The entire concept of “details” continues to elude Republican bozos. What they consider to be “strategies” are actually goals, and what they call “plans” are just vague outlines of where they want to go with no real plan on how to get there. It’s like if you asked them directions on how to get to their house and the best they could do is give you the name of the part of town they live in and didn’t understand what else you expected of them. The idea of getting into the nitty-gritty of coming up with an actual detailed plan with numbers and everything is simply beyond their understanding.
And of course, the big joke with his “plan” is that it’s the same vague policies Republicans have always been pushing, so I’m not sure why he imagines he’s the only one who has one. And as with all of them, they’re hoping voters never bother to learn what these words mean, or they’ll realize that an HSA and tax savings ain’t gonna cover your cancer treatment or heart attack; and that “pre-existing conditions” is another way of saying “screw you.”

Oh, I think there are plenty of men having serious wood over the prospect of people losing their coverage.
