NOEM: Delivering on a Promise to Repeal and Replace Obamacare
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Kristi Noem today issued the following statement upon the release of the American Health Care Act:
“In the years since Obamacare was first passed, South Dakotans have called for its repeal and replacement. In the meantime, they’ve seen premiums skyrocket, deductibles soar, and choices become limited. In gutting the Independent Payment Advisory Board and delaying some of the most burdensome elements, we were able to offer a degree of relief, but Obamacare is fundamentally beyond repair. Tonight, we are taking the most significant steps to date in the repeal and replacement of Obamacare. There is still plenty of public debate that must happen and I look forward to hearing South Dakotans’ feedback, but this is a critical step toward healthcare that is more affordable and accessible to all.”
The American Health Care Act dismantles Obamacare’s onerous mandates and taxes (including Rep. Noem’s Health Insurance Tax repeal), expands and enhances the use of Health Savings Accounts, and offers individuals and families a monthly refundable tax credit to help purchase health insurance, among other things. Additionally, the proposal continues protections for those with pre-existing conditions, allows young people to stay on their parents’ health insurance until 26, and maintains the policy of no lifetime caps.

The House Ways and Means Committee, of which Rep. Noem is a member, and the House Energy and Commerce Committee have jurisdiction over the legislation. The committees are expected to meet later this week to formally consider the bills.

Blllaaaahhhhhaaaarrrghhhhhahasnotetc.—- google—Republicans revolt against new health care plan
Funny, the part of your post before the hyphen makes more sense than what followed.
google—Republicans revolt against new health care plan———— Do you not understand something that simple? Do it and see what comes up———–assuming you can understand that.
I have seen the graphs comparing the Obamacare subsidies with the “replacement” tax credits proposed by House Republicans.
I have two family members that I know buy their own insurance. As I read it, the Republican effort would reduce the subsidy of the individual making $30,000 by about $6000. It would give a $4000 tax credit to the one making $90,000.
Sounds about right.
Kristi Noem is an intellectual powerhouse and we have been blessed to have her demonstrate her innovative solutions and leadership while serving as our sole South Dakota US Representative. As our next Governor she will continue to lead our great state!
“No matter how disastrously some policy has turned out, anyone who criticizes it can expect to hear: “But what would you replace it with?” When you put out a fire, what do you replace it with? ” – Thomas Sowell
Repeal Obamacare. Its a disaster. Its a fire that is burning down the house. Republicans are being timid. Grasp the gingerly and its thorns prick you, grasp the thistle firmly and its defenses crumble.
I just wish they had spent the intervening years between passage of the Obamination that is ObummerCare and now to get a plan together; it seems stupid that they didn’t.
“No matter how disastrously some policy has turned out, anyone who criticizes it can expect to hear: “But what would you replace it with?” When you put out a fire, what do you replace it with? ” – Thomas Sowel”————– Damn right. Duuhhhh? Who is now opposing this “great” plan they hid away in the basement?
New poll—78% are happy with their health care plan….
Kristi is lieng through her teeth when she calls this farce a repeal. I won’t be voting for this fraud for Governor.
It is a repeal. You might not like what they’re replacing it with but it repeals the mandates and taxes from ACA.
You must have your own definition of repeal. To the average American voter, repeal means to entirely do away with. This legislation isn’t repeal and replace, it’s revise and rename.
Seriously, after six years in office, does anyone really believe Kristi is conservative? In almost any other state she’d have run as a centrist Democrat.
That’s such a ridiculous comment. What states are you talking about? In a lot of states Kristi would be a right wing nut. In SD, she’s a mainstream conservative.
Noem would likely be the most conservative Governor we’ve had in generations. Daugaard, Rounds, Janklow, Mickelson- none of them have been conservatives. Some of have been pretty good governors but I certainly wouldn’t say any of them are more conservative than Kristi.
Let’s be honest, Kristi’s a centrist with feminist leanings.
The fact that prior governors were also RINOs doesn’t make Kristi a conservative.
Being the tallest midget doesn’t make one a giant.
Apologies for multiple posts from different accounts. Didn’t realize my laptop and cellphone had different pseudonyms.
I say repeal in FULL, then less federal involvement in medical care. More free money the higher costs go up. Look at the cost of higher education. Buy across state line like car insurance. Help patients not big companies. Have costs so people can see what they are paying for.
What about the unintended consequences of this 30% increase for the people who lapse their insurance, through no fault of their own by job loss, and they have to chose between insurance or groceries, et cetera? How is a 30% increase going to help them get covered again?.
