Bobby Jindal's GOP healthcare plan

Would you buy a healthcare plan from a governor of a state that ranks 48th in healthcare quality?

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's Obamacare replacement plan unveiled Wednesday doesn't exactly break new ground. Jindal, who has health care cred in conservative circles, offered up reforms long favored by the right as he signaled his strong desire to eliminate the president's health care law.

His plan is worth noting for a couple of reasons, though. Four years after the passage of the president’s health-care law, the GOP hasn’t united behind a replacement plan, but we can piece together what a Republican administration's health policy might look like based on the various plans that have emerged. Secondly, Jindal is the first likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate to offer a vision for health care, and other candidates will also have to explain what they'd do differently from Obamacare.

Here are the main features of Jindal's plan:

1. Full Obamacare repeal.

2. No more preexisting condition ban.

3. Eliminate tax preference for employer coverage.

4. Medicare premium support.

5. Cap Medicaid spending.
