A Republican senator claimed on Monday that the GOP will release a "comprehensive" health care plan to replace the Affordable Care Act in early December, right around the time they are expected to vote on extending the program's subsidies.
Republicans have claimed to be working on a comprehensive health care plan to replace the ACA, also known as Obamacare, for over a decade. However, the plans that have been introduced have failed to pass because of Obamacare's continued popularity.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KY) said on CNN's "The Source" with Kaitlan Collins that Republicans plan to introduce their plan to replace Obamacare in early December.
"We've been working on it for years," Marshall said.
"But is there a comprehensive plan that people could look at and decide whether or not they think it's something that Republicans should pass?" Collins asked.
Marshall said that Republicans plan to introduce the bill in early December as a "side-by-side" bill to the ACA subsidy renewal bill that Democrats are working on.
"Let's empower patients and make them consumers again," Marshall said. "Let them make the choices that they want to do."
