Rep-Elect Schilling On GOP Plans For Obama Healthcare Plan: “We’re Gonna Rip It Out By Its Roots”

On Fox & Friends Tuesday morning, incoming House Republicans laid out their plans to take apart President Obama‘s landmark legislation on healthcare, with Rep-Elect Bobby Schilling of Illinois describing the plans in simple terms: “We’re gonna rip it out by its roots.”

“This is all about accountability, about a big tax bill that had a few pieces of reform attached to it,” said Schilling, who was part of a Fox & Friends panel of incoming GOP House members.

On the question of how Republicans plan to “rip it out by its roots,” Rep-Elect Chuck Fleischmann said “we’ve got to attack” the healthcare bill “from all angles. It’s bad law, it’s flawed Constitutionally,” and Fleischmann said one angle of attack would be moving to defund the “bureaucratic army that this bill would require.”
