presented a health care plan as an alternative to the Affordable Care Act on Jan. 23 at the Capitol. (The Associated Press)Four Senate Republicans introduced a health-care plan on Monday that promises states a buffet of options for providing health insurance, including keeping their Affordable Care Act exchanges. The GOP plan would allow people to keep the plan in place today. Many of the proposals include similar elements, such as shifting the burden of administering insurance coverage to states through block-grant-style funding, and an emphasis on individual health savings accounts. Cassidy said he would prefer to fix the tax portions of the law later this year when GOP leaders plan to undertake a comprehensive overhaul of the tax code.
