The Republican Study Committee has come up with ten good question to ask the Democrats on health care.  For instance:

1)     During the debate on the so-called stimulus package, your estimates on future unemployment and economic recovery proved to be wildly off-base.  Why should Americans now believe you that they will not be forced out of the private coverage they enjoy, as basic economics would dictate?

2)     Despite your assertions that health care reform will save money, the reality is that plans proposed by Democrats would cost taxpayers between $1 trillion and $2 trillion.  How does this save money and how will you pay for this?

3)     If, as you claim, a government-run option is essential to maintaining honest competition in the health insurance market, why is it not also true that we need a government-run competitor in the fast food industry, neighborhood babysitting, or Major League Baseball?

Good questions all.  People across America should ask their congressmen and Senators the same questions.
