Well put.
The republicans offered up this plan with concessions to dem demands and then were shut out.
No concessions now.
You're right, Repub leaders have proposed these reforms, and were rebuffed. I think they need to sell it, though. I'm a news junkie and rarely hear about market based reforms. They need to put it in a simple package and sell that package to the public. Speak it at every tea party, every TV interview, every article. The public should be as familiar with the term "health savings account" as they are with "public option".
I agree about no concessions. Every single Dem idea makes the problem worse.
