I watched MTP this mourning. Seems like they weren't offering any solutions. They even backed away from regulating the current insurance companies.

I recall the loony left complaining about the lack of a Republican plan. The Republicans know it doesn't stand a snowballs chance.

So the guys who paid for the bus to bring protestors to the Town Hall are suing to effectively end Social Security and Medicare. Tens of millions of seniors will be on Welfare, losing their homes to Medical Bills

Just spouting BS isn't a plan, its trying to deflect a blow.

A plan has solutions in it, they don't have a plan that regulates current private insurance companies, and thats whats needed.

There plan is to have private insurance companies take it over. Then some middle manager will decide when Grandma dies. I can see this now Grandma needs a bypass so they have to call Bob the pot head for permission. The more grandmas he kills the faster he gets promoted. Oh BTW there also going to kill off the disabled and children.
Yes, but if you paid attention to Meet the Press, the republicans clearly had a better idea of the health care plan and pretty much won the debate... Coburn did say that which I don't think reflects the Republican platform (but its nice of you to phrase it like that)... I don't agree with Coburn, I think switching from government bureaucracy to a corporate bureaucracy is just as bad... but WTH, feel free to say what you like, a lot of disinformation has been going around lately...

Hey everybody, except the loony left, believes that the town hall protesters are genuinely concerned about healthcare.

Then why are they bringing it up on national television. Why are you afraid to discuss the Republican murder of grandma.

I disagree Dick Armey never even talked about the plan. He was just disassociate his paid group of wing nut from other paid wing nuts. Coburn just talk over everyone and refused to have the debate.
