Ad Praises Obamacare Replacement Which Doesn't Exist

January 14, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

A GOP-affiliated group is spending more than $1.4 million to run digital and television advertisements that laud a Republican plan to replace the Affordable Care Act — despite the fact that the party has yet to present any such plan, Roll Call reports.

The ads have been launched by the American Action Network, a conservative advocacy group linked to House GOP leadership. These materials say the unidentified plan will create a health insurance system that has “more choices,” “better care,” and “lower costs” than the ACA. The ads began running Thursday and Friday in districts of vulnerable Republicans, GOP leaders, and “rank-and-file” Republicans from very conservative states.

Paraphrasing field of dreams here.
One would think that supposedly good businessmen who are trying to "Make America Great" would have a more realistic understanding on how business works. This is magical thinking at its finest. Heath care, or health insurance is not a new product roll-out.

They'd best pick up the pace, because there will be a long long line upon arrival.
