220 versus 215, health care reform passes, next up the senate where there wil lbe a lot more foot dragging.

Apparently one republican actually cares about reforming health care.

You know... the republicans actually have their own Healthcare reform plans.  But yeah, once again thanks for not doing any research and just blindly paroting a position someone has told you.

The main difference is that republicans want to put down a lot of the stuff to state level.

Pretty much everyone wants healthcare to be done.  It's just there are different ideas of doing it.

Alternative Republican plans I've read about all seem a bit, well, Patronising as opposed to anything else tbh.

I don't know... the main differences seem to be....

 

Democrats

Extend coverage to 36 million

Reduce Premiums to the consumer.  (While rising healthcare spending at a cost of GDP at higher rates then it's rising now..)

Cost 1 Trillion.

 

Republicans

Extend coverage to only like 3 million.

Reduce Premiums

Cost 64 billion.

 

The Republican bill doesn't really extend coverage... but it seems to do a lot more with what it's spending... and has a much better chance of actually lowering GDP healthcare expenditures... which seems to be the biggest complaing people always have in these arguements. 

80% of people are already happy with their coverage... including a lot of people that are uninsured.  Only 67% are happy with the costs.

Attacking costs, and making provisions for the few not happy with their care is the right way to do it.

Not revising everything to where it's a totally different system 80% of the people may or may not be happy about and will cost us more in the short and longrun as a country.

The republican plan with some democratic ammendments would be much more sensible.
