The Republicans are finally putting forth a health care bill of their own. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation, it would not do very much to fix any problems. John Boener said it would insure "millions more Americans" and I suppose that's true. It would insure about three million more of the non-elderly. It would insure 0% more of the elderly. It would lower premiums a fraction for some people and not lower them for most. It reduces government spending and therefore the deficit a little, but not as much as the Democratic plan, which would also help most people.
So, bottom line: Republicans do not want to fix health care. Most Americans (including most Republicans) do. So G.O.P. leaders came up with a plan that doesn't change much and they figure they can pass it off as real reform. But I guess they can at least say, "What do you mean we don't have a plan?" Once again, being owned by the health care industry is a pre-existing condition.
