Please tell me what parts of the Health Care Reform Act are included in the Republican Pledge for America. That's one of the best ones..."repeal and replace"

Ken, Americans want the entire bill repealed - sentiment probably favors some sort of enactment of the restriction that insurance cos cannot drop a client when they develop a serious medical condition. That is afterall the reason someone buys health insurance in the first place; so, that particular restriction makes sense. But, it's the only part of the so-called 'reform act' that does make sense. The bill was far too drastic a measure in order to provide health coverage for O's 30M voter base. Special clinics could easily be provided for that purpose. It would not cost nearly as much, and would leave the over 250M Americans content w/their current best health svcs in the world. With the Gov-run version, bureaucracts would inevitably cause it to deteriorate to a mediocre health provider system.
