Re: "Here are just two recent ones" How many (I understand that various GOP representatives and Senators have written perhaps 50 or so 'health plans' of varying degrees of comprehensiveness...) of them though could attract even 15 or more votes? And how many have been budget scored? (Why not boil their best ideas down to say... five or six 'plans' and try to advance some of 'em? A 'plan' with just two or three backers may not be seen as serious.)

That's ALL CRAP!!! Tax deductions and tax credits are supposed to SOLVE the problem......LOL What if a guy makes $30k a year and has 4 kids? He's already NOT paying any taxes, so what are tax deductions and credits going to do for HIM? What if that SAME guy is making $80k a year? Is he supposed to spend hours and hours and probably hire somebody to figure out WHICH insurance policy he should get? Will EITHER of these guys be covered if a member of their family gets a Serious, Chronic, or Terminal disease? I want to hear Coburn and Price say that they going to GIVE UP their Government Insurance and let everybody else know what insurance they will get "instead" along with the COSTS and COVERAGE they'll have.
