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 whole "filibuster-proof" concept was a lot more valid... Legolas - 18/01/2010 04:44:51 PM 406 Views
I have seen this argument elsewhere and I am not sure it makes sense random thoughts - 18/01/2010 05:28:57 PM 390 Views
