“I am not for Newt. But, the GOP should offer an alternative health care plan that simply includes TORT reform and inter-state health plan competition.”
I agree with you. What the GOP fails to recognize is that pulling the plug on Obamacare fails to solve the problem, which will recur when insurance premiums escalate at double-digit rates in the next year.
Tort reform, increased competition are helpful, but the real problem is that we still have medicare/medicaid that requires private insurance to cover their shortfall - which becomes more acute every year - driving up the cost of insurance for folks that want to do for themselves.
In the end, if the GOP does nothing, we’ll eventually have universal socialized medicine through the gradual expansion of existing socialist medicare/medicaid.
