LOL. That’s such a specious argument. One aide a long time ago suggested they should. Prove it was anything beyond that. And just to be clear, are you saying a single payer system is good?
No, I am diametrically opposed to that. But it is true the Heritage Foundation or one them, came out with just such a proposal in the late 1990’s and the Republican Party really was not against it.
Maybe that explains why the leadership keeps dragging their feet about doing anything on Obamacare, they and Democrats eventually want a single-payor system regardless of what we the voters want.
