Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance’s plan to rework President Barack Obama’s signature health care law is vague on details, but many conservative health care experts say it would take the Republican Party back to a place it doesn’t want to go.
Vance’s comments, made over the last week, have added some details to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s assertion during the Sept. 10 presidential debate that he had a “concept of a plan” to reform the Obama-era health exchanges.
“We’re going to actually implement some regulatory reform in the health care system that allows people to choose a health care plan that works for them,” Vance said at a campaign rally last week in Raleigh, N.C., adding that people who use the health care system frequently would be on a different plan from those who are healthy and don’t go to the doctor as often.
