How can the Republicans contribute to Health Care Reform now?

I am a conservitive, and vote GOP. From my prospective: Granted, the folks in the GOP have had many years to address the gnawing problem with health care reform.... They have attempted just about zip. Only after the socialists come up with the most ridiculous venue for that reform, then all of a sudden the GOP gets interested, but with no votes to do anything in their favor.... They seem to just be little voices and nothing goes their way. They had their chance, but George Bush seemed more interested in doing in Saddam, who had an assassination attempt going on against Bush Sr and that among other things clouded Bush2's mind. There has been a cluster flock in the GOP for a very long time, and the socialist liberals have a well oiled machine. The results should not be surprising.

"No Republican will vote for this"

They sure won't. Not in it's present form. Neither will Independents.

Just take note my friend. This was a very partisan effort by the Democrats. Are you seeing what direction most Independents are going now? The very ones that swing votes one way or the other? Most of them HATE this. And they will remember it next November.

The Republicans HAVE tried to contribute, numerous times, only to be shut down before they were really even heard. Many of these ideas were very common sense and approachable. But they were shot down never the less. Why? Not because they weren't good ideas, but because they have an (R) behind their name. Not considering opposing views is not very open minded at all. Liberals always talk about how open minded they are, but I haven't seen it.

At least under Reagan and Clinton, most decisions WERE very non-partisan. Hence the great success's of both presidencies.

We had checks and balances then, we have no checks and balances now. We only have a liberal theocracy that is intent on passing all of their agenda, damn everyone else.

Are you attempting as an occasion how coo coo libs are? First conflict isn't a interest or exciting ingredient to do. while it turns into needed it extremely is often too costly. conflict time expenses are seldom optionally available. it extremely is till you stick to liberal good judgment and in basic terms renounce and be ruled by employing the victor. i assume you're able to have us believe that the guy you libs call illiterate replaced into lots smarter than the intellectually better liberals that he would desire to convince all of them to pass to conflict with lies. He can no longer examine write or talk yet he can convince you. Debt and deficit are actually not a similar ingredient. Debt is the whole quantity of money owed. Deficit is money spent it extremely is extra desirable than what replaced into budgeted for a financial year. Surplus is Budgeted money that replaced into no longer spent in a financial year. It would not take a genius economist to declare shall we funds extra money than we are able to spend this year. we've got Obama who had to pass a stimulus and it replaced into such an emergency no person would have time to examine it. Nancy Pelosi pronounced if it wasn't exceeded we could lose 500,000,000 jobs a month. it extremely is an excellent type of jobs for a inhabitants of 306,323,600. would desire to there be slightly inaccuracy (lie) there? The CBO says Obama's numbers do no longer upload as much as what he receives. properly who're they to speak? Now if i want a provider say, like economic centers why could i pass to the only i understand lies and has shown in modern history they do no longer understand what they are talking approximately. you recognize like the stimulus we want in the present day that may not kick in for a pair years. it extremely is of severe result to the at present and quickly to be unemployed. shall we no longer forget another ingredient you have an inclination to lose sight of. info are what they are have been and consistently would be. you are able to no longer take a vote to well-known what exceeded off.

The majority by the Dems makes it possible to completely lock out the Reps so their input was never a necessity to get anything done. This bill is, will be, always be associated with the Dem Party if it ever gets implemented into Law which means the people who have to pay for this will never vote for a Dem again.

The Democrats have kept the Republicans out of the decision making on these bills, what do you expect?

Should they just bow down and say yes oh great one, whatever you say?

Or should they do what they were elected to do, and be in OPPOSITION to what they are planning to do? This is how government works, the idea the Republicans are just saying no is ridiculous. If they produce a bill that is not socialistic and communist in nature, maybe the Rep. will vote for it.

They've been TRYING to contribute, but Nazi Pelosi and the Dummycrats have shut them out of the process. By the way, why don't you read your constitution and ask yourself "where does it give them the power to do what is in this bill"? If you're honest with yourself the only possible answer will be "it DOESN'T give them the power". Stop trying to give away OUR freedom. If you want to forfeit yours there are plenty of countries where they'd be happy to take away your freedom. Move to one of those countries.

I am an independent, and I am outraged at this blatant socialist take over of the the health care system. Between now and 2012, I will mobilize, I will organize, I will contribute, I will lobby, I will campaign, I will make it my mission and I will move heaven and earth to unseat every Democrat running in my area from county dog catcher to Sen. Bill Nelson.

Republicans offered a counterprosal to the Democratic sponsered health care reform measure. It was primarily to work within the existing system, and offer ideas to fix that system which works for most Americans'.

As far as attracting voters, they will be ok. Polls showed that over 50% of Americans did not want the plan that Pelosi sponsored. Since the percentage of Republicans is below 50%, there must be a number of Dems and Independents that do not want this particular reform either.

The Republican "alternative" did nothing to guarantee that a person with a pre-existing condition would be able to buy health insurance.

That makes it a non-starter in my book.

You are living in fantasyland if you think that this bill that was passed by the House will be a positive improvement to our health care system.
