\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Three Senate Republicans want to repeal the new health care law and replace it with an alternative that eliminates most of the coverage mandates. It would instead offer tax breaks to help those with lower incomes obtain coverage. Congressional Republicans vowed more than three years ago to repeal and replace the health care law — but since then they’ve focused mostly on trying to repeal it without advancing a comprehensive alternative.
