Organization Releases Plan for Health Reform Replacement
On Monday, the American Enterprise Institute released a 59-page blueprint that its author says would serve as a replacement for the Affordable Care Act if opponents succeed in repealing the law. The paper promotes a market-based overhaul of health care entitlement programs and changes to health insurance regulations. Under the plan, Medicare would be converted into a premium-support system and Medicaid would be transformed into a block-grant system.
