<<<< we may see the pub party platform incorporate an alternative health care approach.>>>> And that could be a good thing - emphasis on "could". Maybe they tinker with Obamacare? Even that could be good. I give credit to Obama for taking on the issue - I don't like what we got though and I don't think it will work. They said on PBS? news last night that it is possible that fewer people will have insurance when Obamacare goes into effect - Jan 1 - than before all the effort was started! Some success! ..........But my issue remains cost. Both unaffordable cost to Americans and unaffordable cost to the government.

"There are Republican policy makers think tank types who are urging their party to adopt health care alternatives to Obamacare" So what? The head of the RNC urged (R)'s to do minority outreach and pass immigration reform. Nothing is going to happen in either case. "By the 16 Presidential election though (depending on how the 14 mid-terms go) we may see the pub party platform incorporate an alternative health care approach." Those candidates will be as popular as Jon Huntsman in (R) primaries, and will have all the others celebrating.. The (R) are hopelessly regressive. Progress will be made when they all die.
