According to liberals and Democrats, Republicans have no health care plan(s). But they do, although evidently the media does not cover Republican alternatives. I don't know if Republican proposals are good or bad, but I think the debate should move beyond just one on Obamacare. Even George W. Bush had a proposal on the table and it looks better (simpler) than what Obama has on the table.
It’s arguably the favorite myth of progressives, the oft-repeated claim that Republicans have no health plan. Hence, President Obama was fully justified in ignoring them and proceeding to enact a comprehensive health reform law on a strict party line vote—something completely unprecedented in American political history. Karl Rove last week did an excellent job of countering that myth in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. For those who may have missed that piece, or those who want further details and links not feasible to include within the constraints of a printed op-ed, this post is intended to fill in some blanks.
