Thanks for sorting this out for we “circus clowns”. :-)

Republicans haven't suggested a plan for health care: Republicans have actually submitted 35 plans. Sure would be nice to see a Republican leader on the Hill shouting this out everyday.

Herein lies the problem with this debate :
“...if Obama were to take that approach or even if he were to simply focus on helping the 8-10 million Americans who want health insurance but can’t afford it, ...”
“health insurance” ... but can’t afford it VERSUS health care but can’t afford it.
INSURANCE is a substitute for cash covered by someone else deciding how much your risk is worth. i.e., can they cover the risks of providing you service and not lose money on that risk. INSURANCE makes a profit on covering risks. When it comes to health care, the RISKS of covering you may be quite high, so your PREMIUMS AND DEDUCTIBLES MUST be high to make the business proposition work. So one cannot reform health care by asking insurers to accept unacceptable risks. OR, you are telling them to go out of business.
*IF* you MUST (or choose to) consume a lot of health care, or expensive aspects of health care, you indeed may not be able to afford health care. Regardless of whether you are insured or not. Sometimes you just don’t have the money for ‘care’. If you own five cars and money is tight, you might have to forgo the oil change at the right interval, or let that falling headliner repair wait. Health care is the same way. If that car breaks down and you cannot afford health care or towing, then sadly, you cannot afford car care.
As a nation we ought to be having a debate about whether or not health CARE is publicly subsidized or not; ie should SOCIETY bear the burden of collective health care. THAT is a rational debate. It is just fundamentally absurd to discuss whether or not insurance companies (risk coverers) MUST or MUST NOT provide all health care at an affordable price.

Good job Kaslin. If we had 47 million uninsured, later reduced to 30 million in bambi’s address, and a national population of 310 million isn't the uninsured less than 10%?
If this is true, why are they trying to revamp the entire healthcare delivery system of the US?
Answer; Power, money and control.
This power grab must be stopped.
