I agree with you. This is a simple misdirection ploy in an attempt to regain their initiative by quieting the opposition. We MUST NOT be had by them.
Dump ALL the current Dem “plans”.
TORT REFORM NOW.
Other things can be done more slowly- one by one in small easily intelligible bills.
Actually, the GOP option is based on tort reform, the dropping of interstate barriers to insurance purchasing, and the encouragement of individual purchases through tax credits. Unfortunately, they’re getting no coverage for it and don’t really seem to be pushing very hard.
In any case, with all the money that trial lawyers have given to Barry and the gang (something like 80%+ of their political contributions), I don’t think there’s much chance of this. But I’d like to see more GOPers fight for it.
