> I think the GOP has yet to figure out what their health care policy even is. They really need to figure out how to be for something again.

I'm not sure what the policy is, but I know they don't have a plan. I can't find the link, but I heard a spot on NPR (either Fresh Air or Here & Now) talking about the plan to repeal the ACA. The purported goal was to vote immediately to repeal it but delay the effective date. There's no plan. In the mean time, they're supposed to figure it all out.

I really think the GOP needs to go with evidence based policy analysis. If they think they can come up with a better health care system, fine, but what are the metrics for better? health care costs have gone up way past the amount of inflation, and to some extent that makes sense, because there are new treatments, but it seems like tax breaks are not going to help the working poor to the same extent that the ACA subsidies and medicare expansion do.

They are for free market radicalism. It can hardly be considered "conservative" but it is certainly for something.
