Republicans seek own policy cure to replace Obamacare - Yahoo News

The thing I don't get about covering the uninsured:
The Democrats have claimed there were around 30 million people without insurance coverage (note that does not mean health care, just insurance coverage; that argument remains for another time). So they went about remaking the entire health insurance and health care industry. This has resulted in BILLIONS of dollars in cost to taxpayers and the insured alike.

But would it not have been simpler and cheaper for the government to simply indemnify - cover - the health care for those 30 million, say, even to the tune of $2M per? That caps the cost at around 60 million. And the insured definitely could have kept your plan, period.

There was so much more afoot with the Democrats; there always is.

What did the GOP say? They think government should be out of it entirely. Sounds good to me!
