The Hill reports in a significant development, GOP candidates have embraced a concept that was unthinkable a year ago: fixing President Obama’s landmark law. Others, meanwhile, have offered replacement healthcare plans.Senate Republican hopefuls in the House, including Reps.

Some in Republican circles want the law to flop miserably, which would increase the chances of an eventual repeal.Kingston, running in a crowded primary for Georgia’s open Senate seat, last week came under fire from conservatives for suggesting the strategy to let the law fail is not “responsible.”Kingston on Wednesday clarified to The Hill that he meant Republicans should try to “accelerate its demise,” rather than sit back and watch it collapse.“By saying that’s not a responsible thing to do, I meant to say, if it’s teetering, you have to push it over the cliff,” he said, adding that his fix is in fact meant to dismantle the law.More here
