I don’t know what is wrong with the Republican’s up on Capital Hill… They release information on the healthcare plan they plan to replace Obama Care with, which is only part of the changes that are planned to make the healthcare system more affordable and accessible for everyone and then act surprised when the CBO comes back with figures that the Liberals are beating them over the head with.
The new healthcare law would, in the CBO’s estimation, have 24 million people loosing their health care plans. Who up in Washington is going to have balls enough to bring forth the fact that almost all of those who are going to loose their ObamaCare subsidized healthcare will most likely be able to buy a policy that fits their needs on the open market for the same or less cost than they are paying now. The rest of the 24 million are people who have an overpriced useless policy because it was crammed down their throats and they would rather not have one.
The Republicans have the opportunity to reestablish a competitive market in the Health Care Industry… something that I’m sure scares the healthcare industry to death. Allowing insurance companies to sell insurance across state lines and dropping the mandated insurance coverages, allowing the consumer to pick and choose which coverages they want and leaving off those that they won’t ever need, will go a long way to making insurance companies more competitive in an open and free market.
It’s the Republican’s chance to prove to the rest of the bleeding liberals that the ideas they have been harping about for a couple of decades now will actually work. I pray that they don’t blow it by letting the bleeding heart liberals win the battle that is being waged in the media to demonize anything the Republicans do.
