Polls have been pretty clear that although Americans are very much against Obamacare, they are in favor of reforming the healthcare system.
Medicare is going bankrupt. Insurance costs keep going up. These are problems that a Republican candidate is going to have to answer. And simply saying to repeal Obamacare and replace it with nothing is a losing strategy.
And during the whole Obamacare debate, Republicans never argued against some type of reform. House Republicans even offered their own version.
And yet they donated to Obama's campaign.
Something stinks.
So basically you’re saying “free market solutions” are nothing? How about showing people it’s better for them to be in control of their own health. As long as we treat adults like children they’ll act like that. And what kind of “reforms” are people in favor of? What do polls say the government should do for (or to) us? Why do people always assume that when polls show people want “XYZ” to change, they mean they want the government to do the changing for them.

They not only offered their own version, the House passed the legislation to make Medicare a premium support plan and to bloc grant Medicaid to the states. Ryan, Coburn, and Price have all offered plans going back a number of years to the present.
