Did they? All the plans I had covered it, but I had to pay the same copays as I would have for any other prescriptions.

Sarah Kliff has an interesting article - [Obamacare “repeal and delay” won’t work](http://www.vox.com/2016/11/17/13665184/obamacare-repeal-delay) - up on Vox.

And a comparison of various [replacements](http://www.vox.com/2016/11/17/13626438/obamacare-replacement-plans-comparison) for Obamacare.

Those are awesome articles. Kliff is the best health care writer in journalism.

From what I can see, most of the GOP health plans floating around are reasonable replacements for ACA. Cruz’s is probably the last suitable, Hatch’s probably the best.

Another of my favorite sites for Healthcare Reform issues is the [Kaiser Family Foundation](http://kff.org/health-reform/).
