If ACA Subsidies Get Tossed What is GOP Plan "B" for Relief

Sen. Mitch "Make Barack Obama a One-term President" McConnell has Plan "B"

RNC Then Will Adopt New GOP Mascot to Fit the Times

MAIN GOP SCENARIO (besides McConnell’s plan cited above):

Tea Party Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) has a plan to provide temporary help to the millions of people who might lose health coverage if the Supreme Court sides with the King challengers and guts subsidies in three dozen federal-exchange states (the pending King v. Burwell ruling expected soon).

Johnson’s fix reportedly has 29 GOP co-sponsors, including Sen. McConnell. It is fair to assume the eventual GOP post-King contingency plan, if there is any GOP consensus plan, may look something like this:

1.  It would keep subsidies going for everybody across the country who would be adversely impacted by the Court ruling (that the GOP hopes and prays daily for) — until September of 2017.
2.  That date is similar to a few other GOP contingency plans that have been floated by Republicans, which also provide a temporary subsidy.  
3.  The idea is to buy time to develop a more comprehensive GOP replacement for Obamacare (since they obviously don’t have one at the present – cite: McConnell remarks in the chart above).  
4.  Johnson himself recently put it this way (I call it “the cat’s out of the bag) – why? That time lag Johnson proposes would allow the future of health reform to be litigated in the 2016 presidential race. Ah, ha – so it is politics as usual? I see, I see.  Why am I not surprised? Stay tuned.  

May I offer this advice from Will Rogers, Mr. McConnell? "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."
