After Rep. Roy Blunt, leader of the supposed House GOP Health Care Solutions Group, suggested Thursday that Republicans won't offer a health care plan of their own, Minority Leader John Boehner insisted one was still in the works.

Of course, the Republican plan as in 1993 is to stop health care reform at all costs to prevent an enduring Democratic majority. Bill Kristol, who told Republicans 16 years ago that there was "no crisis" justifying health care reform then, now simply calls on his party to "kill it." With spinmeisters Frank Luntz and Alex Castellanos supplying the talking points that a supposed "government takeover of health care" is "too much, too fast, too soon," obstructionists like Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe boasted his party would "stall" President Obama's health care initiative to ensure a "huge gain" in the 2010 election. In a nutshell, the GOP is proposing to extend the status quo for a nation gripped by a collapsing health care system.

Here, then, is the Republican 10-Point Plan for Health Care:

1. I can condense it to 3 or 4 points:

1. Take an aspirin
2. Rub some dirt on it
3. Ask your mother for a band-aid
4. If it hurts when you do that, stop doing that

I mean, if they could present a budget with no numbers why need any medical advice/opinion in a health care plan? :shrug:

4. Republican Healthcare reform.

Quit whining we have the best healthcare in the world.

Tell lies about the Democratic plan.

Cut Capital Gains Taxes.

2. What?

No mention of tax cuts for the rich?

5. I just sent a letter to the editor inspired by this thread.

Here's the letter:


After much waiting, the GOP has released their plan for reforming healthcare. Unlike the Democratic plan, it is so simple even Sarah Palin can understand it.

Republican Healthcare reform:

Quit whining we have the best healthcare in the world.

Tell lies about the Democratic plan.

Cut capital gains taxes.
