Respectfully, I disagree. The GOP should articulate a set of principles and a legislative agenda, to include tort reform, tax reform, expansion of HSAs, competitiveness and innovation in the health insurance industry, and returning decision-making and responsibility to the patient and doctor.

The thorny issue will remain, however, what to do about those people who need health care but can’t afford it.

well if said people don’t have all the latest gadgets that I can’t afford and couldn’t afford before I went to work for an employer who provided insurance I’d say find a way to help them. (I couldn’t afford those gadgets cause my priority was providing health insurance and paying medical bills for my family, I unfortunately have a disabled child so was locked into said insurance policy because of her, the state plan was el crapo, limits choices in hearing aides an such, which is why we stayed with that company while many of our neighbors were changing to control their premiums, funny thing is most of those neighbors came back to the same company a few years later)

Choice is most important I think. But those who truely can’t afford health care will be the ones without the cells, new tvs, latest video games, cable and the latest in video games, not to mention they probably won’t have NIKES, and name brand jeans, all of which I’ve seen on so called poor.
