Even back to the 1990s, there were DOZENS of proposals. There were even a lot of Democrat proposals that weren’t nearly as odious, while Clinton claimed no one else had put forth a plan. It was and is, simply a lie.
“Even back to the 1990’s, there were dozens of proposals.”
Since the GOP took control of the House, which of the alternatives has written into an actual bill and passed? Since the GOP took control of both the House and Senate how many actual replacement plans has it passed as legislation and sent to the president for signature? How many bills has the GOP House and Senate passed to correct the most glaring deficiencies in Obamacare such as the absence of a national competitive market?
The proposals and speeches are not legislation. Other than passing symbolic votes to “repeal” Obamacare the GOP has done nothing to address the burden on the American people. The truth is big corporations want to unload employee healthcare costs onto a government single payer system. The GOP is enabling the transition by offering no resistance to the Democrat long term plan to transition to single payer. GOP voters should be blaming the GOP leadership for their soaring healthcare costs and absence of free market competition in healthcare.
