So, there may still be a need to raise taxes to cover these people. But the GOP is OK with this as long as government isn't running the program. Is that about the jist of it?
i can't speak for the GOP but i'm not cool with raising taxes on anyone. They can figure out a way to cut back other wasteful spending to free up funds for this. Lets start by taking the remainder of the stimulus bill, plus the 20 billion the banks have paid back, and use that money. Thats would be more than enough to fund the co-op option.
Then cut all the political gifts and boondoggles out of HR3200, along with the pork, and they can probably come up the rest that way.
