The GOP Health "Plan"

The GOP Health "Plan"
07.15.09 - 9:44 PM

To bolster their arguments against Democratic health reform plans, Republicans came up with a brightly colored, utterly confusing chart purporting to show that its way complicated to give people health coverage. Responding in kind, Democratic staffers are circulating this chart showing just how the four-page, smoke-and-mirrors GOP plan "works."

House Minority Leader John Boehner: "During a deep economic recession, it is criminal malpractice for Democrats to push a government takeover of health care and a new small business tax that will destroy more American jobs."

Is Boehner going to cry again? I wish he would - because this is too funny in it's childish presentation. It would fit if he shed some tears, perhaps throw a tantrum or two would help his cause. This is a serious issue, and it should be treated that way. The Republicans have made a mockery of it all.

1. There's little doubt that the healthcare system is complex

(or any reform/overhaul thereof).

But it's significant to make clear the point that at least Obama and the Dems HAVE a freaking plan..........unlike the "Party of No" Repukes!!!

2. Oh, the repukes have a plan -

From By Brian Beutler over at TPM:

~Snip~

You can read that four-page plan here if you'd like. But if you'd like me to save you the time, here's a hint: it would achieve universal health care and bend the cost curve downward through a familiar Republican grab bag of tax credits and magic.

It's like their plan to fix the economy.....lot's of hot air and very little substance.
