Let’s look at the issues and where 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush stands. For more information, check Jeb2016.com. Today we will look at his detailed proposals for repealing and replacing ObamaCare (link here).

From Governor Bush and the website:

The Conservative Plan for 21st Century Health

ObamaCare is a government takeover of more than one-sixth of the American economy, and it epitomizes why Americans are so fed up with Washington. To win on repeal, conservatives must unite  around a vision of health care for the future – one that enables transformational innovation. Governor Bush’s plan would repeal ObamaCare and accomplish three things:

1. Promote innovation

Winchester Star: Mark Warner a ‘reflexive liberal’

By Lynn R. Mitchell

The Winchester Star wants to know whom is Mark Warner trying to kid by professing to be a “radical centrist” in their Thursday editorial (see Our View: A Reminder — There is a Senate race in Virginia):

Five years ago this week — Wednesday, to be exact — the newly minted Mr. Warner faced a rather contentious crowd of nearly 2,000 people at a “town hall” gathering in Fredericksburg. The issue du jour: health care.

Mark Warner said he wouldn’t vote to take away your health care plan. He did.

By Lynn R. Mitchell

“I’m not going to support a health care reform plan that’s going to take away health care that you’ve got right now or a health care plan you like.”
–– Senator Mark Warner (2009)
