Is it 20,000 pages yet? What else is tacked onto it that has no relation to the title?
And how exactly do you plan to pay for those "grants," Boehner?
And, what's to prevent those "grants" from going to shore up otherwise failing state-level health care fascism, e.g., "Romneycare" in Massachusetts?
As far as I am concerned, this is more tomfoolery from the Stupid Party establishment. They have seen what is going on in NY's 23rd District, and they are running scared for their own political lives.
If Rep. Bonehead really wanted to be "innovative," he would get the Feds out of health care entirely!
DON'T TREAD ON ME!
Maybe they can get Dede and Newt to sell it for ‘em.
Sort of late isn’t it?
The best thing to do is nothing.
Anything the government does is a total screw up so if the Republicans offer nothing we’d be significantly better off, no one would have to post anything on-line to read, it would save paper, save tax payers money, we’d get to keep our own insurance and keep our own doctors.
Doing nothing makes sense...
Add in some tort reform at the Stat level and what the competition drive down the prices.
It sounds good, but one has to ask why such a bill was not wheeled out months ago when all of this started.

Exactly
There are already healthcare bills done from our side... what’s wrong with those?
Is there going to come a point in time where the Republicans will realize that we do not want their brand of Health Care or the Democrats? We just want them to get the heck out of our way and let us solve these problems in the private sector. Just remove the barriers.

Read this (scroll down on the constitution re: regulation):
Note the title... evidenced by reactions on this thread.
We have five bills here at the site being read over... as well as teams on the Deathcare bill.
Sure, that's what we'd prefer. But it's not gonna happen -- not with this Congress, nor this administration.
Boehner's proposal is strictly pro forma. Now, when the left shrieks and the independents ask, the GOP House "had a plan".
And, God knows, it's a better one than Pelosi's...
He is quite the idiot. What about allowing purchase of health insurance across statelines? How bout expanding the use of medical savings accounts and catastrophic health insurance (which is banned in NY)? How bout upping co-pays and decreasing premiums?
It's not gonna happen cause Boehner and the RINO Party establishment are too scared to stand up for real freedom for once! Instead, they will either stand aside and stay quiet as those who aren't scared are pilloried...or join in the beat down themselves!
