Boehner: GOP Does Have A Health Care Bill, But We Might Not Release It

The plot thickens: Turns out the GOP does have a health care bill, after all. But we may never get to see it.

I noted this morning that Roy Blunt, the chair of the House GOP Health Care Solutions Group, had seemed to suggest that Republicans would be better off politically if they didn’t release their own bill, though he later clarified this statement. Left unclear was the question of whether any such bill exists.

Now House GOP leader John Boehner has weighed in, and he has confirmed that, yes, there is such a bill — and it’s almost finished, too. As Boehner put it a little while ago: “We’re continuing to put the final touches on our bill as the Democrats are continuing to put the finishing touches on their bill.”

Neither Boehner nor his office, however, will say whether this bill will ever be released. Republicans are waiting to see what Dems do first.

A question lingers: Did Blunt know about this bill before suggesting Republicans might not release anything, or was a bill nearly completed without the knowledge of the House GOP Health Care Solutions Group’s supreme leader?

Them repubs are full of secret (read non-existent) plans.

More tax cuts for the private insurance companies, and the federal government will offer the uninsured enrollment in any number of wingnut churches offering faith healing.

Hope there is video of this and it should be played non stop next time this jerk runs for office.

It's not a game!!!!!!!!!!!

Its printed on the back of their alternative stimulus plan...

'Die, suckers' might not go over too well with the public, even if they add a 'please' as an amendment.

"West Wing: Season One" 'Celestial Navigation' Primary focus: Josh Lyman is addressing a group of university students and telling them about what it's like to work in the White House.

Side Stories:

1) Introduction to the duties of the President's bodyman.
2) Supreme Court Justice Nominee Mendoza is arrested.
3) CJ has a root canal. Josh does the press breifing for her and while 'sarcastically bantering' with the WH press pool mentions the 'President's Secret Plan to Fight Inflation' - only, it doesn't exist.

This is, obviously, the 'Republican's Secret Plan for US Healthcare Reform'.

Thankfully, the major media outlets will decline to cover this bit of childishness, so that Rep. Boehner can continue to show his ugly orange mug in public, secure in the knowledge that he's being mocked only for his shinyl vinyl dermafinish.

.... to end the Viet Nam War.
