Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says they’ll delay changes until they come up with an alternative.

The Kentucky Republican insisted that some 20 million Americans who have health care through the six-year-old law will not lose coverage, though the likely upheaval in the insurance industry suggests many could.

Asked about the Senate’s timetable to scrap the law, McConnell said: “We’re going to move to it after we go back in the first week in January.”

But during a speech in his hometown of Louisville, the senator cautioned patience from the law’s critics as Republicans create an alternative.

“You can’t just snap your fingers and go from where we are today to where we’re headed,” McConnell told a crowd at the Kentucky Farm Bureau’s annual meeting. “This has to be done carefully. It has to be done in a phased-in way over a period of time.”

    Still concentrating on repeal with no ideas about what to put in its place? I guess millions will go back six years to the days of no health insurance at all. That’s what they call republican progress.

      The United State is the ONLY Country in the Entire World that has Capitalist Medical Care. And,it is the Highest Cost Medical Care in the Entire World. Also, It is FAR from being the Best.

    The Retardicans WILL Immediately Repeal the ACA JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. They are Power Crazy and Totally Obsessed. They will replace it with ” NOTHING ” Because THEY Don’t Give a Damn about The People. It is only Their Power and CONTROL that THEY Care about.

    And folks will die. Of course repubs only think about themselves and have no empathy. They don’t care at all.

    Maybe Mitch McConnell should drop dead, leaving one less welfare queen sucking off the American teat of socialized medicine. I know it isn’t nice to wish death on anyone but, next to Cheney, McConnell is a huge waste of human DNA.
