Republican presidential candidates are finally starting to get specific about how they intend to replace the Affordable Care Act. Now they have to be ready with answers to a lot of hard questions.

Republicans say they want to "replace" the Affordable Care Act but generally don't say with what. Democrats say they want to "fix" it but usually don't say how.
Raising the minimum wage is not an effective tool against poverty.
