Former FL governor told TX senator to come up with an alternative

For once I agree with Mr Bush. Whether Americans like the Affordable Care Act or not, we do like the idea of cheaper healthcare. Yet no Republican has ever provided an alternative, which makes me think they bitch about ACA just on principle - cuz it's a Democrat in office pushing it.

During an interview for "This Week," former Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush encouraged Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz - who told ABC News that he would do "anything" to stop Obamacare - to come up with an alternative and show some restraint if his aim was to repeal the president's signature healthcare law.

"I think the best way to repeal Obamacare is to have an alternative; we never hear the alternative…we could do this in a much lower cost with improved quality based on our principles, free market principles…and two, show how Obamacare, flawed to its core, doesn't work," Bush said.

"So have a little bit of self-restraint. It might actually be a politically - a better approach to see the massive dysfunction," he said, after being asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl what his message would be for Cruz, who is still keen on repealing Obamacare.

Bush said the linking of government funding to the funding of Obamacare by Republicans was a tactical misstep.

"It was a mistake to focus on something that couldn't be achieved. And that's what that was. It was tactics," he said.
