And did the GOP, holding power from 1994 to 2006 with complacent Democrats, even make an attempt?
Yes, and they have said it for years--but you and all your liberal friends never listened.
1. Insurance companies being able to cross state lines--bringing in more competition, thereby lowering premiums.
2 . Small business being able to group together to get the same lower rates as large corporations get, thereby making it affordable to cover employees that work for small business.
3. Tort reform
Sure sounds a hell of a lot better than what's going on today--doesn't it--
They offered many alternatives, but alas it was always the Democrats shooting them down. I don't want hear it.

YepÂ…what was that rather famous quote? Oh yeahÂ… "We don't need the damned republicans" as the door shut to the meetings.
The dems have made their beds. Now lie in them until 2014.
seriously? they intentionally shot blanks....

For 2 decades Randall....don't you think that was long enough to talk it over and work somethin' out?seriously? they intentionally shot blanks....They offered many alternatives, but alas it was always the Democrats shooting them down. I don't want hear it.
BSÂ…..but let's assume for one moment that what you say is trueÂ…wouldn't talking it over and over and over and over until they could have reached a workable consensus been preferable to "passing the bill to find out what is in it"!?!?
I would guess that if the idiot Pelosi and the thug Reid had it to do over again - consensus would have been reachedÂ…..
Randall, I don't disagree with you on wishing that BOTH sides could have worked something out in congress....but both houses of Congress have lost all ability to work together and get anything respectable done...honestly, we should just send them all to the corner of the class and take away their pay....
Horsehockey.
But what if it was? Look at what the Dems have done to themselves in the past monthÂ…they will most assuredly lose the House (again) and they WILL lose the Senate.
A man plotting suicide could not have done a better job of blowing his own brains out than what the Dems have (laughingly) done. As a staunch conservative, I saw this very thing happening when this "law" was passed without one republican vote. I have said many times on this very board that "Obarrycare would never see the light of day" and - lo and behold - it won't. Not in it's present form.
Republicans will stand around the Christmas Tree this year (NOT a "holiday tree") and celebrate the very best Christmas that they have ever had. The death of the Democrat rule in Washington. Hell, I'll hold a glass high for them as well!
Thank you Baby Jesus!!!
