Lawyer, author and longtime media entrepreneur and watchdog Steven Brill has this to say about the Senate repeal and replace health-care law set for its big reveal Thursday:

Capitol Report: Sen. Bernie Sanders says Republican health-care bill wont see light of day

Key Words: Why one Democratic governor is not willing to give up on Senate in health-care debate

The founder of CourtTV (which evolved into truTV) and the magazines American Lawyer and the late Brills Content, whose latest book is the best-selling Americas Bitter Pill: Money, Politics, Backroom Deals, and the Fight to Fix Our Broken Healthcare System, told MSNBCs Stephanie Ruhle that what the anticipated bill instead does is strip out Medicaid funding to deliver tax cuts.

As to the replace component, Brill has been every bit as dismissive.

Back in January, also as a guest on MSNBC, Brill had said he was willing to be that 10 years after the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, there would still be no replacement in large part because Obamacare was a Republican-style plan at its inception, rendering redundant any Republican replacement.
