Paul has dubbed the GOPs plan ObamaCare Lite, arguing in a Fox News op-ed on Monday that repeal and replace should be two separate processes.

"We own repeal. We ran on it. It is our idea. We have to pass it cleanly, now, Paul wrote in the joint op-ed with Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who leads the far-right House Freedom Caucus.

Then we owe the American people a real-old fashioned period of allowing all ideas to be debated and voted on to produce the best product possible.

Top 5 Rand Paul Quotes That Would Make the Founding Fathers Proud – The Libertarian Republic

LISTEN TO TLRS LATEST PODCAST:

By Kody Fairfield

Rand Paul, the Republican Senator from Kentucky, has long been a fan of the Founding Fathers of the United States and has embodied their spirit on multiple occasions.A beacon of liberty and classic liberalism in a world of slush, pork, spinelessness and debt, here are 5 quotes from Rand Paul which the Founders would be proud of.

People say America is exceptional. I agree, but its not the complexion of our skin or the twists in our DNA that make us unique. America is exceptional because we were founded upon the notion that everyone should be free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. -Paul in the Tea Partys response to President Obamas State of the Union in 2013

How will we defend ourselves if the Patriot Act expires? Well, perhaps we could just rely on the Constitution and demonstrate exactly how traditional judicial warrants can gather all the info we need and how bulk collection really hasnt worked. Paul, in 2015, explained following the Passage of the Patriot Act which allowed federal agencies to spy on US citizens with a blanket warrant.

The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective. Paul in his 2012 RNC speech.

I dont care if youre a Republican or a Democrat, there is something profoundly un-American about using the brute force of government to bully someone. Paul in 2013, during an address given at the Reagan Presidential Library.

We must always embrace individual liberty and enforce the constitutional rights of all Americans-rich and poor, immigrant and native, black and white. -Paul in 2013 during his unprecedented speech at Howard University.

12 Responses to Rand Paul: House Obamacare Bill Will Not Pass – White House Dossier

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul promised the healthcare plan proposed by House GOP leadership would not pass the Senate and become law because its just Obamacare lite, the Washington Examiner reported.

Paul told Fox News he has serious problems with the plan, especially the replacement for the Affordable Care Acts individual mandate. Paul said there will still be a mandate, of sorts, in the bill but instead of paying the government a penalty for backing out of a health insurance plan that payment would go to private insurance companies.

This is, in all likelihood, unconstitutional and could destroy the whole repeal program, he said.

The taxes under the Affordable Care Act stay in place for another year, the individual mandate is still there but in a different form and the so-called Cadillac tax, a 40 percent tax on employer-based healthcare plans with more than $10,200 premiums, stays in place forever, he said.
