Health Law Repeal-And-Replace Plans Create A GOP 'Dilemma'

The Washington Post reports on how the Republican presidential candidates are wrestling with their messages. Meanwhile, John Kasich plans to keep one key portion of the health law, and Marco Rubio talks about health care during his Iowa soapbox speech.

For Republican leaders, one loaded phrase represents the difference between the party they are and the party they wish to be: 鈥渞epeal and replace.鈥 Since 2010, Republicans have pledged to repeal and replace President Obama鈥檚 Affordable Care Act 鈥 promising a legislative backflip that would please conservatives who despise the law鈥檚 every word and moderates who want to keep some of its benefits. (Fahrenthold and Johnson, 8/18)

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, has a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act, but there's one part of the controversial health care law that he'd keep. "You shouldn't be able to lose your health care because of a pre-existing condition," Kasich told CBS News Chief White House Correspondent Major Garrett. "That's really, really critical." (8/18)

[Florida Sen. Marco] Rubio said America must fully utilize its energy resources 鈥 and repeal and replace Obamacare with a health care law that allows every American to buy health insurance, with pre-tax money, from companies from any state. (Ryan, 8/18)
