So, is this the new Republican repeal and replace plan…
Make the states replace ACA?

Michigan Rep. Justin Amash got an earful from his constituents in a town meeting Tuesday, a standing-room-only affair in which dozens were turned away when the room reached capacity.

What drew such large numbers to a routine town hall meeting?
Judging by the about 250 packing the auditorium, it was to aggressively question the Michigan Republican about his stance on issues ranging from the repeal of the Affordable Care Act to climate change to immigration. […]

“Do you or do you not support the immediate repeal of the Affordable Care Act with or without a replacement?” one attendee asked.

When Amash answered, saying he expects the burden of replacing the federal law upon repeal to fall to individual state governments, the crowd erupted with dissent.

The congressman calmed the crowd, saying his support for federal repeal would be contingent on states first providing plans for replacement.

“You can have a repeal that is triggered by state replacement,” he said. “In other words, you pass legislation to repeal. As states replace the legislation, then the repeal is triggered in that state. That is what I’m talking about.”
