Stop trying to save his a$$ Ben. Republican input was rejected from the get go and rejected again when we tried to delay. All supporters from both sides of the aisle need to suck it up because the Tea Party was right on the money from day one.
And keep on nuking it.
Note to Ben Stein:
Do not make promises that are impossible to keep and than lay off the resulting customer dissatisfaction on the Republicans. Obama and the Democrats in power are the ones that promised they could add 30 million new insured to the rolls, expand the list of covered events to "universal coverage", improve quality of care, and decrease patient costs to below current levels. They crafted the most complex piece of legislation ever considered and rammed it through congress without realizing that the stated goals are mutually exclusive and therefore impossible to satisfy.
Putting it in simple terms, there is no "fix" that can possibly save Obamacare.

We do not want our fingerprints on this corpse.
Your plan sounds even better. Should be heavy reliance on HSAs which would allow doctors to become more competitive and profitable at the same time.
He has always been described as a "conservative" for publicity purposes, but scratch Ben Stein and he bleeds social liberalism.
Among other factoids, he was born in DC, went to the most liberal/leftist university on this planet, Columbia, became a poverty lawyer, he proclaimed publicly and famously that the "mortgage crisis will blow over".... he's lived in the Golden State of fruits and nuts for ages, with homes in Beverly Hills and Malibu.
If one is a conservative, what's not to love with a resume like that?

That what they attempted with Medicare Part D.

I USED TO love this guy.
About five years ago I started to hate him.
He’s dead to me, now.
I suspect what he means is the have to have something resembling a plan to put in its place to attract swing voters and independents. If it looks partisan or personal or tit-for-tat they won’t get that support. The headline doesn’t quite reflect what he says. It’s more about having a policy to deal with health care versus not having one, than about “fixing” or “saving” Obamacare.
Regardless what activist justices want everybody think about the constitutionality of unconstitutional Obamacare, here is Judge Andrew Napolitano clarifying that the states have never delegated to the federal government, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate public healthcare.
