How is it, if someone really wants to work with somone, they make the assumption, no they state as fact that they are going to disagree with the people prior to ever reading a word of what they had to say.
Obama knew he would disagree with the documents because NOTHING IN THE DOCUMENT WAS NEW, IT HAD ALL BEEN SENT TO HIM OVER THE PAST YEAR and his administration ignored it.

You know, I will have to go look it up, and it probably won't take long, but I have heard of at least two GOP proposals described by House members detailing a health care bill which does exactly what many on here think would work.

In a nutshell - high deductible HSA's, basic coverage, affordable catastrophic coverage with options for employer or governmental additions to HSA's in accordance with need.

THIS I believe would work very well, drive down costs and be affordable without dismantling everything in favor of governmental control.

Of course, the widely held notion is the myth that the Republicans have no plan of their own. They absolutely do, they do not hold back on them, but the press doesn't want to cooperate. And the Dems sure don't want to portray them as anything but "obstructionist" (translation: stopping us from rolling over you).
