then why don't they own up to the fact that this health care bill looks an awful lot like Romney's Massachusetts plan

A lot of them don't like Romney's plan either.

Also a plan in a state is a lot different than a federal plan. States can try different things out and see what works from the different ideas in different states, rather than imposing a one size fits all federal plan. States also don't have the constitutional issues that some of the new federal plans elements create.

Why are they unwilling to discuss a bill on its merits

They have done so at least as much as the Dems have (admittedly a low hurdle to jump over).

Clearly your agenda prevents you from acknowledging the plans clearly published by the GOP.

I suggest to you that labeling the GOP as the lunatic fringe is just another attempt at misdirection rather than discussing the clear alternatives published in opposition to Obama care.

Are you aware that Romney's plan is run by the state ? Probably not as you compare the federal plan to the one in Mass.

I prefer discussing facts and you have yet to post any.
