[Link to the pdf of the bill itself: Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act]
Gotta love the title of the bill, don't ya? You know, I'm not a fan of the enacted health care reform law since I believe in true socialized medicine, as in the single-payer universal health care. That's why it is even more annoying that the Repubs continue to slam "Obamacare" as socialism. Really? Socialism? Pardon the digression, but I still don't get how some of the Mad Hatter Tea Party-ers equate Obama to Hitler. Is it the Death Panel thing again?
Anyway, back to the point, what is the Republican alternative to repealing health care reform? Status quo? They do keep saying, "Let's scrap it and start over." Start over with what? What's your proposal or even an idea? I haven't heard it. Does it cover more Americans than the current law? I don't think so. Repubs would be happy to have people who "choose" not to have any health care coverage. What is it, then? Where is it?
House GOP should stop kowtowing to the Mad Hatters and get back to business at hand. Get people jobs and back to work. Plenty of new GOP congresspeople got new jobs. It's time to return the favor to the people who elected them into office. 2012 is not that far away, and the electorate certainly has a very itchy voting finger.
