There are plenty of conservatives that have ideas for health care reform. However, you aren’t going to hear a whole lot about it unless you go somewhere besides HuffPo.
Everyone agrees that there is a crisis and we need to do something about it. We just don’t agree on what. However “our way or the highway”, which is the position of most of the Democrats in congress, is not going to elicit alot of bipartisan support for the crap they are pushing.
Frankly, I don’t want a government bureaucracy, like the ones that run the DMV, the USPS and FEMA running healthcare in this country.

These are the classic recycled arguments that are perpetuated by conservative group think, most of which fall flat at the first hurdle. Conservatism by it’s nature fears change, and the challenge is changing the mindset, not healthcare. Why not take the debate to the state level, and see if an experiment in state run health care works first? A lot less would be at stake, and it would surely be a lot easier to administer.[/quote]
True.
And to the first comment, are you aware that there is no public option, no government plan what so ever? Its why liberals are luke warm on the bill. The bill provides subsides to lower wage earners, to purchase…………….. drum roll please………………. private health insurance. There is a reason Aetna/BCBS are in love with the bill. There is no government run plan. It simply broadens the risk pool, provides premium assistance to some, outlaws recision and denial for preexisting conditions.
Liberals wish it was a government take over. It is not. This plan is the Republican response to the Clinton plan of 1994. There is nothing radical about it.
