I have yet to see a reasonable, workable plan offered by the Republicans. 90% of what they "offer" is "it aint gonna work, let's slow down". That isn't a plan, it's foot dragging and fear of change.
The last big change in Health Care the Republicans offered was to substantially increase the drug plan for Medicare. That plan did not have any kind of tax or cost cutting or saving's associated with it. It ALL went straight to the deficit, 100%. At least Obama HAS a plan to cover the cost, that alone put's him ahead of the Repubs!

I just can't understand what is going through your brain.
It was Regan that sign into law to ELIMINATE PATIENT DUMPING.
It was Michelle Obama ( A LAWYER) , while working for UC hospital that implemented a protocol to divert patients from the UC ER room to other local hospitals, POSSIBLY with the INTENTION OF DIVERTING UN-INSURED PATIENTS TO OTHER HOSPITALS DESPITE THE ANTI-DUMPING LAW ALREADY IN EFFECT. LAWYERS ARE GOOD AT MANIPULATING THE LAW, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A LOOPHOLE, TO THEIR ADVANTAGE, TO CIRCUMVENT A LAW THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN TO PREVENT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. IN MY ENTIRE CAREER, I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS A SINGLE CASE / PATIENT WHERE I THOUGHT THERE WAS ANY PATIENT DUMPING ISSUES. HOWEVER, I NEVER WORKED IN THE U.C. HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
Does this make any sense to you?
Do you believe the earth is flat or round ?
