"Ryan repeatedly refused to offer specific details about what the Republican’s 'freedom from Obamacare' insurance plan would entail ..." Gee, you can't offer specifics when you don't have any!

COMMENTS:
*  Why are Republican alternatives to ACA secret?  Because there are none?  Oh, yeah.  I get it. 
*  Look let's look at everything correctly, Fox is a certified racist outlet, their audience is 90% white and 80% whites over 60 that is not a news outlet, that is a KKK meeting place.
*  Shouldn't he just proudly insist that he has no plan, since government shouldn't be involved in healthcare in the first place? The lack of a plan is the whole point of their ideology. The free market, not legislators, should do all the planning, and the health care consumer should happily do the buying. And the government, when it does anything at all, shouldn't do any more than build tanks and bombs.
*  Does it strike anyone as unusual that FOX NEWS is the all of a sudden asking hardball questions of the GOP candidates?  I think they don’t want to be seen as endorsing any of these clowns since they’re pretty sure they all will lose.  Maybe for the first time they’ve decided to become real journalists?  Naw… they’ve got some kind of sneaky plan working here for sure.
*  They have absolutely no solution..they know it, the American people know it...they're stalling. If they had any type of plan they thought would work, they would have plastered it all over the news. They have no resolution because they don't care about the majority of Americans..just the rich. I despise this fool and all his co-horts...useless and worthless...
*   Republicans have had a healthcare alternative for years, it's "Just Don't Get Sick". The current law we have is basically what righties wanted in the 90's but since Obama is behind it all of a sudden they are against it. Republicans suffer from "BlackTrack, the act of changing one's mind because Obama agreed with you". Also see, "Pulling a OneHatey" or "Kenyan Boomerang".

Paul Ryan can’t even convince Fox News that Republicans have a viable Obamacare alternative

GOP will absolutely, positively, offer an insurance alternative should the Supreme Court shoot down Obamacare

By Scott Eric Kaufman, June 15, 2015

On “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace demanded details from Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan about the Republicans’ secret plan for replacing Obamacare should the Supreme Court invalidate it, but the former vice presidential candidate refused to offer any.

Ryan said that should the Supreme Court deem the federal subsidies unconstitutional and leave six million people uninsured, the GOP has “a solution that addresses this law. We’ll have a solution for the people caught in this law, so that they’re not caught in the lurch.”

His offer of providing people both insurance and “freedom from Obamacare” was extraordinarily vague, though, so much so that Wallace became visibly annoyed. “For all the complaints,” he said, “we’re five years into Obamacare and Republicans have still not come up with a coherent plan that will ensure that all of those millions of people will get coverage.”

Ryan repeatedly refused to offer specific details about what the Republican’s “freedom from Obamacare” insurance plan would entail, offering instead political platitudes. “We will have an answer,” he said, sounding less like a politician and more like a kid at summer camp trying to convince his bunkmates of the existence of his Canadian girlfriend. “We will have a solution.”

Ryan said his party would provide the public with details of this plan once it had a chance to “customize” it after the Supreme Court invalidates Obamacare.
