House GOP Chairmen joined to continue in stressing the importance of repeal and replace for ObamaCare.  Yesterday, Rep. Dave Camp (MI), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee; Rep. John Kline (MN), chairman of Education and the Workforce; Rep. Paul Ryan (WI), chairman of Budget; Rep. Lamar Smith (TX), chairman of Judciary and  Rep. Fred Upton (MI), chairman of Energy and Commerce published GOP chairmen: Repeal is first, not last, step.  The Chairmen outline "How to fix the system" and "Three paths forward" in order to cover health care costs, provisions and oversight.
