Here's McFadden's take on health care:

Q: How would you address ObamaCare?

A: I have great concerns about the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Even Democratic senators have said it's going to be a train wreck. I am as frustrated with the Republican Party in that we have not come forward with a solution, an alternative solution to health care. It's not enough just to say no to ObamaCare. We need to provide an alternative. And we will, and we're working on that.

So in July 2013 he said that an alternative would be forthcoming. Has he clarified since then?

If the "alternative" aims to avoid offending any voters, and to that goal leaves in place much of Obamacare, but just calls it something different, then I'm not impressed. A credible conservative must be more specific.

His and the GOP’s “alternative” will look a lot like romney...err, I mean obamacare, except with much, much higher penalties for not buying an insurance policy from their campaign contributors. They will probably add jail time to it, too.

Yeah, freedom & free markets are a much better alternative.

But any Republican alternative is going to just be a better form of 'eventual single payer'.
