Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse suggests the biggest flaw in the House Republican health insurance plan that failed was its lack of a clear goal.

Sasse says it is hard to figure out what core problems the House bill is trying to address. . .

Sasse, says something must be done, because he has fielded too many complaints about health insurance from Nebraskans. . .

Sasse says every Republican ran on repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act…and now they need to deliver. The House repeal bill was pulled from the floor last Friday because it didn’t have enough support to pass.
