Re: Republican Healthcare Plan

But the problem...is that there’s no plan out there that is both ideologically acceptable to conservatives and politically defensible.

Of course there is. It's called the ACA, previously known as Romneycare when it was instituted under a republican governor in Massachusetts.

Obama made the calculation that his plan had to play nice with K St. if he wanted his own party to pass it, let alone get support from the opposition. So he took a page directly from their book.

Once he took that giant step to the right, Republicans just stepped equally as far further to the right, and now they have nothing politically tenable. But they don't need anything tenable, They do just fine with fear-mongering and foaming at the mouth.

But we, on the other hand, get an insurance market largely populated with private, for-profit corporations that are seeing significant profit increases, and have a government-backed fail-safe.

Insurance corporations--which "are people too, my friend"--get a system that spreads out their risk, and if somehow things should go catastrophically badly, the US Treasury will cover the short-fall [kind of a "single-payer" system]. If that isn't the republican wet-dream of corporate welfare, I don't know what is.

I still will not be able to get access to affordable healthcare, but it's good to know that Kaiser and Humana are going to be okay. Now, I have to go back to work, Monsanto's crop insurance ain't going to pay itself, you know.

I know that dude, he gave me wood lice.

Ooh, knotty!

Wow! This is a whole new fetish to go with those that want centaur or unicorn sex. Dan is right, I can't wait to see the questions.
