It is a trap, republicans would be part owners and the collapse would be the evil republicans fault!
Yes it IS a trap, but that does not mean it can’t be useful.
IMHO, the House should NOT DISCUSS “fixing” Banana-care:
(1) unless Harry Reid’s Senate FIRST passes a “fix” that is satisfactory to Republicans because:
(a) it limits fees to “tort lawyers” for any “malpractice” suit at $200 hour. Tort lawyers who bill or double-bill for more hours than they actually work will be guilty of fraud.
(b) Citizens will be allowed to shop for insurance “accross state lines”.
(c) High-deductible policies will be expressly allowed.
(d) Rational coverage choices (such as: no pregnancy coverage for males) will be expressly allowed.
AND
(2) unless President Obama states, in a nationally televised interview, that he will NOT veto the Senate’s bill to “fix” Obama-care, if that bill passes the House and reaches his desk.
Speaker Boehner can just say that the House wants some assurance that the President “...is not STILL playing a blame-shifting game.”
