Conn Carroll
reports that Rep. Paul Ryan will propose a health care plan as
a replacement for Obamacare in a "major address" on
Tuesday.
Although no details are forthcoming yet, Carroll flags a line
from a recent Budget Committee
publication -- "And for all Americans, it means making
health insurance more portable and more affordable by personalizing
the tax credit for health insurance" -- that makes it sound as
though the reform proposal won't be too far from the McCain 2008
plan for scrapping the deduction for employer-provided health
insurance and replacing it with an individual health care tax
credit.
Here are a few predictions: 1. Whatever Ryan proposes will
become the GOP's baseline stance on health care; suggesting repeal
of Obamacare without having proposed a replacement will become
unconservative. 2. Ryan' proposed reform will represent a plausible
outline for reforming U.S. health care, even if some details are
awry. 3. Everyone left of David Brooks will seize on some eminently
fixable flaw in Ryan's plan, and conclude base on that alone that
Ryan is a fraud and just wants poor people to suffer.
They need to be educating the public about the disaster of
Obamacare and the slated collaspe of medicare.
The bill that no one read is so full of non-related health care
laws, regulations, and new agencies it makes it the most dangerous
and destructive piece of legislation ever passed. The public needs
to know this first and it needs to be put out in the light for all
to see. Then you can propose an alternative fix..timing is
everything.

You're absolutely right, Simon. The public does need to be
educated on the disaster that is Obamacare. But...therein lies the
problem.
IF the argument won't fit on a bumper sticker, the "public" will
just tune it out.
"Make Healthcare Affordable" is all the public knows about
Obamacare and it's all the public has time (or inclination) to
ponder. Never mind that this monstrosity of a "Health Care Plan"
will actually do the opposite.
Any attempt to un-do that will be viewed by the public as
"Republicans Help Fat-Cat Insurance Companies" or "Republicans Want
You To Die Quickly".
Unless the Republican party can win at least 60 Seats in the
Senate and win the White House (and sneak a repeal vote in the
middle of the night), Obamacare is here to stay.
Trying to explain the Stalking Horse contained within the
democrat's massive government power grab to soccer moms would be
like trying to explain quantum physics to a chimp.

Another law. It never occurs to them that when plan A is a
miserable failure and causes more harm than the original "problem"
the answer is to stop not move on to plan B.
Of course plan B has to address the original problem AND the
problems plan A caused while bringing in its own problems. This
then requires a plan C to "fix" plan B problems and plan D to "fix"
plan C problems..........repeat, repeat, repeat.
I hate politicians and their hellish monster the State.

Ryan is a genious at pscycho-analyzing the conventional wisdom
mind until it disengenuates. I look forawrd to his proposal. He
will angrivate the liberal nutbrans by proposaling a solution to
the medical health care problem in this country AND he will
banboozle the rino elitisms by refusing to take their manglepated
claptrap AND he will out-party the tea party muffin heads by saying
what they will wish they had said but they were too afraid of the
backwash to say it. Maybe this will be the final straw that gets
him to throw his cap in the ring and run for President. Is his
chance slim to little? Not a problemo. Palin-Ryan 2012. Boom.
That's the sound of your head exploiting all of you American
Specating-but-not-thinking-or-doing types. Stop spectating! Stop
being passive wangabouts! Don't just spectate! Think! Do!
Palin-Ryan 2012. Boom. Problem solved.

If Ryan proposes individual plans for everyone, it will be a
poor proposal. Individual plans are more expensive and have fewer
benefits. That will change if groups will band together such as
counties, cities, states etc., and sell across state lines.
However, laws would have to be changed in all the states regarding
benefits etc. Ryan probably needs to do more work and gain more
knowledge in this regard, because this is a complex issue. I have
worked with insurance for about 40 years and have a very good
understanding of how all of this works and should work.
