>> Health Reform: GOP Must Offer More than “No”

But the status quo is indefensible!

Political diversion. I'm very surprised if you fell for this.

The Rs have certainly not supported the status quo. But they have been totally blocked out of the situation. Not figuratively, but literally. As in not allowed in the room -- either with Obama or with Harry Reid as he made all decisions about the Senate bill (or Pelosi with the House bill).

We would have had legislation a long time ago if the Ds would have provided a seat at the table for Rs. But if anyone is the party of "No" it is the Ds. They have said "No" to allowing for any R. input into the process.

It doesn't even pass the laugh test to do health care reform without tort reform, if the goal is reduce costs. Yet, no such provision was even CONSIDERED.

Health care reform NEEDS to fail. Then, if Obama wants to take another shot, fine. But this time, EVERYONE is at the table.
