AMA to Republicans on Health Care: Lay out for the American people, in reasonable detail, what will replace current policies.

Republicans:  Well hell, don'tcha think we would if we could

The AMA, that big conservative doctor organization has a simple request.  When Repubicans repeal ACA tell us what you are replacing it with.

"In considering opportunities to make coverage more affordable and accessible to all Americans, it is essential that gains in the number of Americans with health insurance coverage be maintained.
Consistent with this core principle, we believe that before any action is taken through reconciliation or other means that would potentially alter coverage, policymakers should lay out for the American people, in reasonable detail, what will replace current policies. Patients and other stakeholders should be able to clearly compare current policy to new proposals so they can make informed decisions about whether it represents a step forward in the ongoing process of health reform."

Republicans did not reply "It's none of your damn business, this isn't a democracy you know" but everyone knows they were thinking it.
