Can Someone Explain The "Republican Plan For Healthcare Reform"?

[Blackhatjack]

All I hear is spend less, keep Government from taking over healthcare, and leave it up to private insurers to find and cut the costs.

That my friends is no plan.

Anyone have a link to the official Republican Plan?

[rvablue]

1. There is no link because there is no official plan. n/t

2. Obstruct, Obstruct, Obstruct... n/t

3. Don't get sick and if you get sick die quickly...that's the repug plan..

[ejpoeta]

4. well, there answer for everything is tax cuts and no regulations so I am sure you can apply that

6. Don't get sick. If you do get sick, die quickly.

7. I've heard Repub talking heads say "Repubs have a plan...."

But I have yet to find one.

[bobburgster]

Oh, you're serious!

Hell, the only plan they have is the status quo, and bitch down the democratic plan.

8. Tort reform is what they want...

Because it will reduce the amount of money Democratic trial lawyers will receive.

10. 3 step program:

1) Tort reform (people lose their rights)

2) Tax cuts for the rich (won't do anything but it's required in all Republican plans)

3) Medical Savings Accounts, part of the 'ownership society' (you're on your own if you can't save enough)

11. I found the plan online. Attached it for you.

:evilgrin:
:rofl:

[Blackhatjack]

12. Was it written in invisible ink? classified and kept secret? n/t

[demosincebirth]

13. Just like their prescription drug plan that was signed in to law by Bush. Made things worse.

[Lucy Goosey]

14. I think the idea is...

I think the general idea is that no reform is needed per se; people just have to acknowledge that, if they don't have health insurance, it's because they're lazy and they don't deserve it.

Oh, and tort reform!

15. link to gop.gov plan(s)

I think the Shadegg one linked is one I've seen often

[Blackhatjack]

22. None of these amount to a Republican Plan for Healthcare Reform...

Just like saying 'tort reform' is healthcare reform is NOT A PLAN.

20. I thought Grayson explained it pretty well.

1. Don't get sick.
2. If you do get sick, die quickly.

[TygrBright]

21. Grayson summed it up nicely: Don't get sick. If you do get sick, die quickly.

That's it, in a nutshell.

helpfully,
