I remember, from back in the day, listening to Rush, that GOPs... the party that is the home of openness and inclusion, acceptance, tolerance, diversity... and freethinking... was doing a lot of thinking.
Republicans did propose several healthcare plans and amendments in 2010, though none passed Congress. As Democrats pushed for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Demoocrat-controlled House and Senate introduced alternative proposals and amendments that were not adopted.
Key elements of Republican proposals and amendments included:
Replacing the individual mandate: Instead of requiring all Americans to have insurance, Republican proposals focused on providing refundable tax credits to help individuals purchase insurance in the private market.
Encouraging market competition: Republicans sought to lower costs by encouraging market competition, including by allowing insurance to be sold across state lines.
Promoting Health Savings Accounts (HSAs): Another major component was the expansion and enhancement of HSAs, which allow for tax-advantaged savings for future medical expenses.
Capping damages in medical liability lawsuits: Republicans proposed medical liability reform to help control healthcare costs.
When pb points out that people were pi$$€d that the Chicagoland thug foisted a lousy health insurance scheme on helpless voters, there are things people were FOR!!!!
Remember the 010 election? Now you understand!!!!!
