And here comes the stupid. Republicans are planning to offer up a radical alternative to Obamacare - repealing it and replacing it with.... (wait for it)....

The same fucking thing!!!

See, Obama wants to mandate that we buy insurance and make people who don't pay more in taxes. Republicans want to encourage us to buy insurance by making people who don't pay more in taxes. Different as night and day.

GOP pushes carrot approach to insurance, over ObamaCare mandate's stick

Part of the the effort to repeal and replace the President Obama's health care law, as Republicans see it, is to find a way to entice the uninsured to buy insurance rather than force them to do so.

The existing law that the Supreme Court recently upheld relies on the proverbial stick -- the individual mandate, which requires people to buy insurance or face a fine.

Republicans argue for a carrot approach, to help more people voluntarily buy insurance, including by offering broader tax incentives.

The Republicans don't seem to have a position on much this time around.

They sound the same as the Liberal Party here and their position on the carbon tax - the Liberals agree with it, they just agree with the current Prime Minister pushing it through. They wish to repeal it and have their own tax, and simply call it something different.

Not very original, these politicians, are they?

This is why we can't have nice things.

It really is. Both parties are bought and paid for by the same money. Is it any surprise they push the same policies?
