Tort reform and selling insurance across state lines. After all this time, that's still all they've got.

From the article:

McMorris Rodgers, the fourth-ranking House Republican, said the combined Republican replacement plan will probably include an expansion of health-savings accounts while allowing consumers to purchase insurance across state lines.

The plan also would probably change health-care liability rules to reduce litigation and malpractice insurance costs for doctors and hospitals, she said last month in an interview with Bloomberg News editors and reporters in New York.
