Judd Gregg and the Republicans have an alternative to Obama's welfare socialist big government healthcare schemes. The Republican's answer ... more socialism of course!
In the very same op-ed entitled "health reform possible without growing government" written by Senator Gregg, he also states:
"For those who may not be able to afford this [healthcare] plan, you will have assistance getting coverage."
How is this not big government? Is Gregg stupid or does he just think we are? Another disturbing statement in the op-ed includes Gregg's statement that "every American will be required to purchase meaningful health insurance." Ah, so not only is this plan promising to provide healthcare for everyone for less money just like Obama's plan but the Republican plan forces everyone to buy health insurance just like Obama's plan!
Gregg goes on to taught his ideas on how to cut costs through preventive medicine. No need to worry about the fact that several studies (and common sense) suggest that preventive medicine and electronic medical records do not save money.
It would be really fantastic if the Republicans would begin to support free markets and liberty in practice rather than just in rhetoric. This plan by Gregg is truly insulting to anyone with a brain.
