Yesterday's elections prove that American's (at least in NJ and Va.) agree with this.

Pelosi's Bill abolishes CHOICE and I think this horrifies people. At the end of the day, the Obama administration is trying to cram a bill down the citizens throats. People do NOT want this!!

I dont understand why we cant do more of the republican plan that is less gov and less cost in this time of debt we are in. If its not enough of doesnt work we can do more later.

Why build a massive ocean when we might only need a lake

you know why- because politicians could care less about the health insurance coverage of Americans. But they do care about power and control Which is what mainly the Democrats want over Americans in the case of health insurance choices. You know how Liberals like Nancy and Harry think- they know best!

Maybe because despite the talk every time we elect a Republican they build the government and spend, spend, spend?

Yeah and thats why they lost so many seats.

lol You think the republican plan is big gov like the democrat plan is?

Now whats the harm with building slowly and trying things and adding to it till it works.

Allow individuals and small businesses to pool together and acquire health insurance at lower prices, the same way large corporations and labor unions do;

Why cant we try that 1st?

Or this

Let individuals and families purchase health insurance across state lines;

Ha Ha Ha -- That is so funny!!!

The Republicans' plan. . .

• Does NOT forbid insurance companies from refusing to cover people with pre-existing conditions.
• REMOVES restrictions on insurance companies by making them IMMUNE from STATE LAWS that currently govern them.
• Does NOT provide a tax credit to help individuals actually afford to BUY insurance, even though Republicans have CALLED FOR IT!
• Does NOT say how much it will COST.
• Does NOT say how many more Americans will be able to afford coverage or will actually BE covered under this "plan".

The plan is nothing more than cheap talk. WHEN has any modern administration reduced the size of government and/or cut spending?

Look at the conservative idol Ronnie RayGun. WHAT was his grand plan? To spend more than the enemy! Real fiscal responsibility there, eh?

You really believe this huh? Do you also believe Alice in Wonderland is a real story?

The reason that NJ and VA voters voted for the GOP candidate in governor's races was two-fold: 1. Local issues; 2. Concern about the direction the economy is taking. Voters have a right to be concerned about the economy. Our economy went off the rails last autumn and getting back on track is going to take more than a few months.

To translate this vote into a referendum against Obama's healthcare plan is plain delusional. What is even more delusional is to believe the the GOP plan which relies on the "good old free market" to magically fix the health insurance problem through health insurance exchanges, tort reform (only 1% of all health care expenditures if you eliminated the whole system), and some other snake oil will accomplish anything.

Its the GOP that ought to go back to the drawing boards with their "sell out" health reform plan.
