Where can I find the Republican Healthcare Plan?

I can only find summarization bullet point ideas, but not a plan?

Where's that plan they were holding up to Obama when he made his joint session speech?

Didn't it turn out that plan was actually a plan to have a plan some day?

I thought Congressman Alan Grayson outlined the GOP plan last month in Congress. Didn't he? If I recall, he had charts and everything

The Republican plan is not a plan per se, but a plan to allow market forces to work in health care once again. That will be the only way to reign in costs. People don't see the actual cost of their healthcare so they have no incentive to look for the "best price". Health care providers know insurers are basically stuck paying whatever they charge so providers have no incentive to become more efficient/lower costs. It ends up being a lose/lose situation. The way to really screw things up is to leave the system we have now in place and try to force price controls-that will backfire and have other negative consequences.

This argument is a dog that wont hunt.

First, we get lathered up that we gotta pass something, anything, that "no bill" is more horrible than ebola. Yet, well, we've kinda made it this far without one so maybe getting it right is worth the time and effort.

Secondly, that a republican doesnt have a 1500 page behometh to hold up thats labeled "PLAN" is NOT an argument in favor of Obama's plan. Otherwise, please realize what you are saying, that the Obama plan isnt necessarily good....but is the only one we have.....NICE!

Maybe we can ask Santa Claus to bring us one.


It's more likely to work than getting one from the party of "no".

The GOP health plan can be found in hefty increases in 2010 premiums.

It does seem sometimes that the Republican plan is to simply shout 'Socialism!' at every Democratic proposal.

'Socialism' is used as a trump card just like 9/11 was sometimes used as a trump card by the Bush administration.
