A Republican Vision for Health Reform.

A day late and an Obamacare short.

We have Obamacare because the GOP did not act to address the problem when it had control of the House, Senate and White House. The GOP refused to be at the table and we got this mess because of that.

Supporting the GOP is like going to the pep rally before a football game and then showing up to cheer on an empty field on game day.

How about this? Government, get out of the medical business. Let the Free Market work. Eliminate Medicare, Medi-Caid, SS insurance, etc.

It's more like going to the pep rally, and finding out the cheerleaders are tougher than the football team....or, going to the pep rally, then finding out both teams are wearing the same uniform...

I agree on your first point. They should have acted under Bush. We weren’t at the table in 2010 because the other party had enough seats they didn’t let us at the table. The situation in 2010 is directly because our party was such an f-up when we had the House and 55 Senate votes, and squandered it.

How could they act when we only have the House? Who by the way repealed the 0bamacare 50 times. That is fifty times in case you don't know. The bills never went pass dingy Harry Reid's desk.

You have no reason to complain

Oh what are you talking about the GOP refused to be at the table? For your information Troll, they were told to shut up and these are facts

[Kaslin]

Blah, blah, blah.

[Kaslin]

Sounds good to me

[basil]

Our insurance is fine—without obammycare.

[Kaslin]

No doubt about it.

Here’s health care reform: CLOSE HHS and terminate the programs it administers.

A Republican Vision for Health Reform

Since the very meaning of the word 'Republican' is supposed to mean someone who believes in self-determination, anyone having a 'vision' contemplating the socialist concept know as national heathcare is no Republican.

The other thing that would help is to address the health care problem from the supply side. Two new medical schools for each state taking promising high school graduates and turning them in 5 years into practical doctors PD’s to create competition in primary care and ease the AMA’s stranglehold on the medical school part of the equation. Why do we need to import dr’s or even worse send our children overseas medical school. Address the doctor shortage in a real way crank them out. This will help ease the higher education bubble as well. I love the buy into medicaid idea. The state has already gotten the lowest price point from the health care providers in the medicaid HMO’s why not let the average citizen have access to that buying power.

Re: “Both teams are wearing the same uniform”

That says it perfectly!

[gunsequalfreedom]

Here is you history question? When did the GOP last control the House, Senate and the White House.

Your bonus question is what did the GOP do to a) control the border, b) lower taxes and c) address the health care issues?

And don’t call me a troll because you don’t have the ability to comprehend something.

I heard Darryl Is a say exactly the same thing in a speech right after Obama won and the DEMs took over.

[gunsequalfreedom]

I like the cheerleader version but both work. I agree, you improved it.

It's more like going to the pep rally, and finding out the cheerleaders are tougher than the football team.

Don't remind me of last season's Gator football team.
