Republicans need to offer a free market alternative to Obamacare NOW -- not a patchwork of "fixes" but a whole free market based plan, BEFORE the 2014 elections.
Is that to be After we tell the DummyRATS we Told YOU SO, and stop LOAO?
As congress currently is constituted they will pass a bail out for the insurance companies to be followed shortly by a mandate that doctor’s be conscripted for the good of the country and then forced to work where told by the government
2014 will simply end this scandel of a law via the midterms.
In order for a free-market solution to work, Medicare has to be repealed.
"Obamacare" is a severely dysfunctional attempt to escape from the collapse of the budgeting process and the inevitable destruction of the financial system, both caused by Medicare.
This is why Republicans in Congress (most of them) secretly support "Obamacare", and why they will not do anything that has a chance of success to undermine or eliminate it.
As long as Members of Congress are selected by voting, Medicare cannot be repealed. And as long as Medicare in its present form exists, the nation is doomed.
What to do when O’Care “unravels?” Open some CHAMPAGNE!!!
I believe a group of GOP ALREADY have a free market proposal for healthcare....it’s just that the press doesn’t want you to hear about it.
“Republicans need to offer a free market alternative to Obamacare NOW.”
Your comment assumes the gop wing of the uniparty wants to end deathcare. Nothing could be further from the truth.
“Overwhelming the system” could have unintended consequences never anticipated by Richard Cloward and Francis Piven.
Of course if they actually solve the problem both parties would lose the ability to demagogue the issue every two years...
What historic change are they talking about? CommieCare IS change. if it unravels, then nothing changed.
Government provided health plans should be the same for politicians and civilians.
BFL
And pray that you are not ill when it does boil over.
If the Republicans come up with a good idea the Democrats will, with the help of a slavish press, make the idea their own and run against the Republicans with it. If the Republicans are to come up with an option it should be fully formed, named and soon. Come Spring and leaking of the 2015 insurance rates and employer based policy problems the Red State Democrats will be desperate.
No....they don't.
What they need to do is repeal the POS, return regulation to the states, reinstate the High Risk Pools, reinstate the HSAs, and allow portability and purchasing across state lines...just like other types of insurance.
I was preaching most of this to my dad tonight. I do think that less regulation should be allowed to solve the problems. Let Risk takers evaluate and set prices on the risks and rewards.
Ummmmm. my reaction should be to LMAO, and rub the failure in every democrats nose in it for the next 30-40 years, or at least till I die???
Since it is up to the republicans, hello single payer 2016.
Some weeks ago didn't Ted Cruz say he would be releasing an alternative to Obamacare? I would assume that would be a good starting point.
