Rep. David Young: GOP health process was Obamacare all over again
Congressman David Young has seen this movie before — and he didn’t like it the first time.
Young, an Iowa Republican, compared the process House GOP leadership followed to replace the Affordable Care Act with the method Democrats used to enact it back in 2010.
