democrats try to solve a problem.....
Too bad the tea baggers can't articulate exactly what they think is wrong. This is not socialization of medicine. It is not public funding for abortion. It is not public funding for illegal aliens. It is certainly not related in any way to the holocaust.
What have the republicans offered in answer to the problem? Anything about denying coverage for a pre-existing condition? Nope. Will they keep insurance companies from dropping me once I get sick? No. Is there anything in their plan that would insure those who cannot afford coverage today? No.
What does their plan contain? Limits on law suits. Something that already exists in my state a number of others and which has had no effect on costs. They will allow insurance companies to relocate to states which have no real controls on them and then sell insurance in my state. Nobody seems to see that the credit card companies are located in South Dakota. Did you ever wonder why?
The republicans had control for 6 years and didn't seem to think there was even a problem, now they won't even participate in a reasoned debate on the matter. Their concern is not fixing a problem, it is preventing a fix that might be credited to the democrats.
