Djshakes, the Obama health care plan is virtually the same as the Republican 1993 proposal. I hope that your non-partisan self can see that.
Obama Health Proposal = 1993 Republican Proposal

Kaiser Health News points out something quite interesting. The health care reform proposal that President Obama just put out is remarkably similar to the Republican alternative to Clinton’s health care reform bill from 1993. That 1993 bill was sponsored by Sen. John Chafee (R-Rhode Island) and had 19 Republican co-sponsors in the Senate and two Democratic co-sponsors and was the primary alternative offered by the Republicans to Clinton’s bill.
Check out the chart of similarities between the Chafee bill and the Obama bill. Apparently the Republicans in 1993 were a bunch of socialists bent on making reparations and rebuilding the Third Reich, complete with death panels and murdering Sarah Palin’s baby.
My non-partisan self can see that. That is why I opposed it when they proposed it. What part of government (not just democrat)control I spoke of confused you?
