How long can republicans keep up the charade?

[Mr. Shaman]

When they some toothless tort reform included, then they will cave.

Tort reform would only save around 0.5%.

Ah, yes....Tort Reform!

Ya' know the White Wingers are gettin' desperate, when they resort to exhuming THAT dead-horse.

How long do you think congressional republicans can keep up the charade that they might actually support the "right" healthcare reform bill?

It's pretty clear that they don't want any healthcare reform legislation. And I don't criticize them on that since I'm not sure I want it either. But for political reasons they're unwilling to just come right out and say they don't want it. And so they've been keeping this charade going that seems to get more and more transparent with every passing day.

So, how long can they keep it up?

I think you are wrong. I truly believe that most people, including myself, would like to see some health care reform. The way we go about it is important. It should be something we can afford to do as a nation. What the government is throwing at us right now is very bad stuff and will destroy the country financially and give too much control to the government. We need to approach Health Care Reform in a different way.

Nixon had a much more expensive health care plane then Oboma , covered a lot more , but a dem Kennedy would not endorsed it and killed it because it made the repigs look good....

....But, you forgot to post (proof o') the details......right??

Same thing the GOP said in the 90's. President Obama and the Dems in Congress ended up lifting heavily from the GOP's 90's Healthcare bill but it turns out the GOP in the 90's were a bunch of socialists who wanted to kill grandma.

Why is there such a resistence to opening coverage purchase across state lines? Has anyone heard a good answer? I don't understand why this isn't a quick and easy way to lower costs and improve coverage to more Americans through good ol' fashioned competition.

Spoiler Alert:

Dear GOP members,

Allowing purchasing across state lines (race to the bottom) and tort reform alone are not going to solve the healthcare problem in this crisis. Get better or at least more ideas.

Sincerely,

Reality

(Seriously, it's been just about two years this has been discussed and these are the only two consistent ideas I hear from the right on healthcare. Though I see no mention of pre-existing conditions most of the time either.)

I'm pretty sure the American people now realize that the only "reform" that Republicans want to see in the insurance industry, is more deregulation.

....As if the indu$try NEEDS any (more) help from Republicans....
