The goals and the rhetoric of both sides are remarkably similar: cover
the uninsured, allow people to keep the coverage they have, provide more
choices of affordable health insurance, and rein in health costs.

Norrishall asks, “Can you really summarize a trillion dollar program in 3.5 pages?” Of course not, but the Republican plan isn't a trillion dollar program! There are other republican proposals out there, S 1099 for one, but they can't get them out of the democratic-controlled finance committee. Which is not a surprise. Obama wants bipartisianship? If you believe that, I have a nice piece of ocean-front property in Arizona to sell you!

I took a look at the Republican health care plan that they came out with last month.....
The democrats have a 1200 page plan.
The Republicans plan is 3.5 pages.
Apparently the Repubicans either think that there's not much that needs to be done to improve the current health care system...or else they haven't really thought much about heath care in the last 20 years.
Don't get me wrong. It's always good to be brief...but...gee. That's even shorter than the rental agreement asks my renters to sign ....and they only pay $1600 a month.

Can you really summarize a trillion dollar program in 3.5 pages?

My guess is that they may not really want to go into details for fear they will start to piss people off. Better to just talk in generalities.

I even did a search for "Republican Health Care Plan" on wikipedia. Nothing.

Aw, c'mon, mac. You wouldn't know a "paranoid schizophrenic" from a schizotypal personality disorder case with perseverative features. Jeez, why do people think they can soak up a little Psychiatry For Dummies crap and sling those terms around as if they mean something?

And I "label" you Obamaphile dunces to see you jerk and twitch and blow boogers from your dilated nostrils, doofus. Like dynamiting fish in a cattle tank, I know, but as I get older, I gotta take my fun where I can find it.

Sure, "Medicine needs to be regulated." Politicians and bureaucrats do an absolutely shitty job of it (how else?). They were rung in by outfits like the AMA to enforce an oligopoly (look it up, mac) designed to screw patients by denying them the options that a government-unrestricted market would provide.

World War II comes along with "health insurance" as a non-wage-and-price-controlled (gotta disguise the most obvious and immediate effects of all that wartime counterfeiting the government does to pay for their "war-is-the-health-of-the-state" armaments) part of the war contractors' employee compensation packages, and we got third-party payors making that oligopoly even more lucrative for the AMA guys.

What is it about this you don't get, mac? Never had a History of Medicine course?

Nope. Obviously. You don't know doo-dah about the "thalidomide scare days" at all, do you? That, you silly boob, was a safety issue. The socialists (and I can name some of 'em, if you like) used it as an excuse to screw in efficacy standards they'd been faunching for - without success - for almost a decade.

Safety proofs, dimwit, have very, very, very little to do with proofs of efficacy. Go to the FDA Web sites. Better yet, read through 21 CFR. Or just shut your festering gob and pay attention here.

The "big buffet" came with politically supported HMO programs rammed up the nation's butt back in the '70s and '80s. Were you around then? No? I was. You wouldn't believe how the Mangled Care guys were selling their "all you can eat" buffet to the cherry-picked populations they wanted to enroll.

Look, you try to learn something and get back to me later, when you've got something resembling a clue, mac.

Okay?
