Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) said he was shocked to see Republicans rushing to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement for the law ready to take immediate effect.
In an appearance Sunday on CNNs State of the Union," the former Republican presidential candidate said he understood there's a big fight about repeal and replace, but was surprised Congressional Republicans had only prepared in advance to carry out the repeal.
There is a lot of discussion going on right now in the House and Senate right now as to how to do that. I'm frankly shocked that they don't have a plan, that they haven't really prepared for this, he said. I know it is not going to be an easy thing to do, but they should have put a little bit more work into it, than now, here in the interim, trying to figure out a plan forward.
Specifically, Santorum said, he was surprised Republicans hadnt planned to reverse the huge expansion of Medicaid enrollment authorized by the Affordable Care Act, which he said was responsible for health care coverage for millions of Americans.

I'm from PA, he's worn out his welcome many years ago.
We tossed his ass to the curb after years of shit representation and him stealing money from the taxpayers for his children's cyber school tuition while they were living in another state.
Why anyone continues to give this embezzling, hateful fraud the time of day.... wait... that's the new political standard now. Silly me.
