House GOP to release full ObamaCare backup plan after court ruling

[Geee]

The Hill:

House GOP leaders are offering a glimpse into how they plan to respond to this month’s highly anticipated decision on ObamaCare.

 

The trio of House leaders plans to outline specific policy proposals sometime before the court’s ruling, but will hold off on releasing legislative language until afterwards, according to a spokesman for Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

 

“We’ll have a plan that will be public before the ruling, but given that we don’t know exactly what they’ll say, we’ll have to wait for the ruling to have text to align with the situation,” spokesperson Brendan Buck said Monday.

 

Ryan is one of three GOP chairman charged by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy with creating a fallback plan if the high court strikes down ObamaCare subsidies in King v. Burwell.

 

Ryan told reporters in March that he planned to have a bill ready — and priced by the Congressional Budget Office — by the decision. Now it looks like those details won’t be public until after the ruling.
