Does anyone have a link to the Republican Health care reform plan?

I don't seem to find one,just obstructionist actions against the one offered by the other side of the aisle

Update:

Take a chill pill,boys and girls,I was just looking for a meaningful link ..Jeez....

Update 2:

Looks like Sunshine has read the same stuff that I have !

    They haven't offered one. I think they sent out a one page memo with no numbers and no practical analysis. When Bush was in office, he talked about a plan called "Affordable Choices Initiative", but the GOP never did anything with it.

    This is the only memo I can find on it. It has bullet points like this:

    "Encourage states to create a Universal Access Program by establishing and/or reforming existing programs to guarantee all Americans, regardless of pre-existing conditions or past illnesses, have access to affordable coverage," but it doesn't have any plan for how that would work. Useless.

    here's one that was unveiled back in May.. though i believe many Republicans, including myself, would prefer there not be any kind of health care reform.. but rather a reform in how our federal government takes in tax dollars. cause, i'm positive that if an individual were allowed to keep more of the money they make, they could most likely afford healthcare and we wouldn't be having this conversation.. so how about focusing on the fiscal inabilities of our federal government? because THATs where the problem lies. there's already programs in place to take care of those who wouldn't benefit from less taxes taken from their paychecks (if they have a paycheck at all). how about fixing those programs? why overhaul the entire system? better yet, why overhaul the entire system with the federal government in control when they've already proven with Medicaid/Medicare (among other failed socialized programs) that they cannot provide appropriately?

    Let's see:

    Take the best health care system in the world... and then have the government run it?

    They do such a good job with the Veteran's Hospitals, don't they?

    And the costs they predicted for Medicare and Medicaid were so accurate. I'm sure the costs they're projecting for Government run Healthcare are just as accurate.

    As you can tell by the responses above, they've got nothing. The one issue they bring up is Tort Reform, conveniently forgetting that they already passed major Tort Reform in 2005.

    Why would they waste time making one when there's a 0.00000001% chance of it passing?

    Where's your health care bill?

    They don't have one. I heard that they do, but they won't release it because they say the people won't understand it. I'm not kidding about that either. My guess is that any "plan" they have to continue letting the drug and insurance companies charge anything they want.
