“This is a huge opportunity for Republicans to show that they can tackle the health care issue in a way that helps, not hurts, the working class,” we wrote. “But it will require a concrete plan of action and the determination to stick with it. Something that, surprisingly, Republicans still seem to lack.”
In the months following, things didn’t improve much. Ryan’s team repeatedly fumbled the ball, diluted the free-market message they should have been selling, and lost sight of the point of repealing ObamaCare — which was to bring down insurance costs for millions of middle class families who’ve seen their premiums skyrocket and their benefits diminish under ObamaCare.
The culmination of all this was a misbegotten bill that was far less free-market than Ryan’s “Better Way” blueprint issued over the summer, and that kept in place the very regulations and mandates that were causing ObamaCare to fail in the first place.
