What is the GOP healthcare plan?

Remember the BRAIN-DEAD LIAR-IN-CHIEF saying they had a better,more-affordable health care plan???
Just another of his countless lies!

McCain's vote did me no favors whatsoever.
No legislation? How about the vote to drop the penalty?
Mostly they just refuse to make any fixes to improve it.

If you can't afford health care, you die.

The GOP has offered nothing.

Because the Republicans in the administration and Congress don't want to build on anything built by previous administrations. That's the bottom line.

Paraphrased, the Constitution allows the federal government to provide for the welfare of its people. That's a pretty broad "Constitutional limit".

Yes ... That worked so well for the banking industry.

(This is also the plan for other things besides healthcare).
The biggest problem with “universal healthcare” espoused by the left is that it is a green signal for deadbeats and illegal aliens to leech off of taxpayer money.

That is not acceptable to most Republicans and conservatives, any way you look at it.

Not going to happen in America.

The money YOU pay in taxes gets used so that YOU can have health care. I would pay a little more in taxes to be able to have healthcare as apposed to paying taxes and not having anything.

So only America has deadbeats and illegal aliens? How does most of Europe manage to cover their entire populations with their "deadbeats and illegals", yet manage to cover them at half the price on average, and live longer and healthier to boot?

You're missing the point. When did it become the government's problem to make sure you have affordable health care? Let me help: never. Providing health care for you and your family is your responsibility. The entitlement mentality is rampant these days, as evidenced by your post. The assumption that you have a right to affordable healthcare has no basis in fact.

I actually have incredible coverage and it costs next to nothing. I think I pay $140 a month for the best coverage blue cross blue shield offers. as far as "ceo's" getting the best coverage, do you think that would change under a medicare for all plan? do you think that suddenly poor people with AIDS are going to get the magic johnson treatment? nope.
