"Well, we have to have [pharmacy benefit manager] reform, we have to look at the ways that we have a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse in the healthcare system. We have to let the marketplace work. There's no transparency or competition. You look at some things like, for example, the Oklahoma City Surgery Center and what they're doing. That's really innovation in healthcare, more remote, having nurses be able to treat patients in a different way. The whole system can be looked at very holistically,"
"I'm not defending Obamacare or the subsidies on that, but it has been 15 years. I know you've only been in the Senate you're new to Washington, relatively new, but some people may say, well, there's been 15 years since Obamacare passed. We haven't seen a Republican plan to replace it,"
Sen. Bernie Moreno told CNN that Republicans have a plan to replace Obamacare centered on pharmacy benefit manager reform, reducing waste, fraud and abuse, and allowing the marketplace to work with more transparency and competition. Moreno pointed to innovations like the Oklahoma City Surgery Center and more remote care and nurse-led treatment as examples. He claimed Republicans would need three to four months to produce a comprehensive plan. Democrats are demanding an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies in exchange for seven votes to pass a funding bill amid the government shutdown.
