Here's why the Rethug HC 'reform' laugher should've been passed into law immediatly.

[Union Yes]

We could show America what a joke the Rethug plan is.

We'd still be left with a HC system in a state of collapse, the Rethug HC plan on display in action for all American's to see.

Once America see's another Rethug disaster in the works we can continue the push toward real HC reform.

In this case, give the Pubbies what they want. Put Boner's plan on display for all American's to see. Nothing will change. HC won't be reformed at all under Boner's plan.

Hell, call it the Republican Health Care Reform Act. So that when it is shown and proven to be a failure, the blame is already attached.

1. I don't know...

Screwing America to screw the opposition sounds a lot more like a Republican thing.

[Union Yes]

2. In almost any other instance, I'd totally agree. However..

if the Rethug plan is shown to be a complete disaster, imagine the blow to their party.

Kinda undermines their oppositin to real HC reform. If their plan is a failure it strips any credibilty that they have regarding opposition to real HC reform.

Not that I'm claiming they ever had any legit credibilty to begin with.

3. Aren't we pretty much on the Republican plan right now?

They are, after all, wholly owned subsidiaries of the insurance companies.

[Union Yes]

5. Exactly. And that's kinda the point of my OP. Rethug plan changes nothing, improves nothing..

and would almost immedialty be deemed an epic failure. A major political blow to their party and and a blow to their opposition of real HC reform.

Had the Rethug plan been signed into law last year, we could already point to it as an epic failure.

4. If Obama had proposed the Rethug plan first, they'd be unanimously against it.

[Union Yes]

6. LOL too true. I'm betting if Obama suddenly supported the Rethug plan..

they'd suddenly oppose their own plan. The GOP is such a fucking joke.

Peace

7. And the collateral damage?

---- > More dead Americans.

[Union Yes]

8. Sadly, they're dieing as we speak...

Not trying to be snarky toward you.

But what you said is happening as we speak.

If the Rethug HC 'reform' plan been signed into law last year, we could already be pointing to the epic failure that their plan would be. The Rethug plan would change nothing.

We'd still be left with a HC system nearing collapse and in major need of reform. An epic failure under their belt would be a major political blow to their party and their opposition to real HC reform.

It could give real momentum to real HC reform with a strong PO.

But time is fast a-tickin. Not sure if there is enough time before November for an idea like this to work. Last year, this would have worked. This year?

I hope this better clarifies.

Peace
