having insurance follow you when you leave job. Most republicans support insurance reforms just not as radical as what the dems are putting out there. They don't see the insurance companies as the enemy. Also as mentioned they support tort reform, which the dems oppose because it would hurt trial lawyers.
They don't have complete agreed up on plan but then again neither did the dems until they spent most of the year hashing one out. They still don’t have one they can agree on. Minority parties don't typically put forward complete pieces of legislation.

otherwise why construct a bill which subsidizes the insurance industry as well as making it mandatory that everyone buy private insurance?
That's all this bill does apart from increasing taxes and the debt to fund that. WTF are we raising taxes and debt to increase private industry profits?
