Plan B for repealing ObamaCare: The GOP should hold public hearings

That’s where plan B comes in. Republicans would do exactly what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi so memorably predicted would happen once the health-care bill passed: find out what’s inside it. Mr. Boehner says his priority is full repeal. But he also knows he is in for a fight. In this fight, hearings would help Republicans accomplish several things.

First, they would help define the law’s problems for the American people.

Second, by defining the problems, Republicans would be in a better position to define and sell their more market-friendly fixes.

Third, by doing the first two, Republicans might get enough votes here and there to kick out key rungs of ObamaCare.
