So ONE Heritage paper made some suggestion, and now we can say Republicans have supported single payer? That’s a ridiculous argument. In all the think tanks out there, I’m sure all kinds of crazy suggestions have been made, but that doesn’t make it logical to say, “The Republican Party believed... XYZ.” Can someone say the Republican Party “has supported the legalization of marijuana.” because one governor did. (Gary Johnson) Can you say, “the Republican Pary supported abolishing the death penalty,” because Governor Ryan put a moratorium on it?

You need to stick to the task of bringing down the quality quotient of FR with yeti sightings and such. After all, we need to compete with The Star and you do well at those kinds of ploys. Bashing Trump and those who admire him for his forthrightness, not so much.

I believe that some of the leadership did want and some probably still want a single-payor system of some kind.

If the Republican Party wanted to do something about Obamacare they have had ample opportunity to do, even if they would go down in flames. But they really haven't.

All Budgets originate in the House, the House could have defunded it at any time and of course the Senate could have gone along and there would have been a Veto, but it would have been on the record.

I just saw on Meet the Press a poll from Iowa where the favorable rating for the Republican Congress is 25%, no surprise. Both parties are totally Corrupt and if and when the vote ever comes for a single- payor systems a great many Republicans will go along and vote for it.
