    RS>> Yeah, stick with the GOP plan.   
      
    RS>> "Die quickly."

    EH> misinformation. Al Grayson lost his House seat for a reason.   
      
    The real GOP plan is Die Quietly.   
      
    EH> The GOP plan is to make it possible to buy insurance across   
    EH> state lines, making it easier for people to set up personal   
    EH> medical savings accounts, tort reform to reduce frivolous   
    EH> and overpriced lawsuits, and reducing government   
    EH> interference with individual decisions.   
      
    All of which does zero good for the uninsured, who are   
    predominatly the working poor.   
      
    What good are Health Savings Accounts to those who no money to   
    put into it, and don't pay enough taxes to benefit from tax   
    credits?   
      
    You can already buy insurance across state lines. What they want   
    is to make the lowest state standards the national standard. For   
    congress to mandate all states allow insurance at the lowest   
    standard is a major usurpation of states rights.   
      
    Tort reform is just a way to save money for the insurance   
    companies. Until they will tell you how much money frivolous   
    lawsuits actually cost this country it's all a fraud. Their real   
    intention is to limit legitimate lawsuits.   
      
    Oh, and countries with national health care don't have our   
    malpractice problems, without tort reform. Most malpractice   
    suits are to cover future medical bills for the malpractice.   
    Since National Health care guarantees coverage, there is no such   
    cost burden.   
      
    The majority of Americans support national health care. Most   
    even support Obamacare, with limited reservations. Most just   
    want it tweaked, not abolished.
