What I want to know...

is, what is the REPUBLICAN healthcare plan? For weeks and months, all I've heard is their criticism of the Democratic plans. "They are socialistic." "They cost too much." "They are going to pull the plug on Grandma", and so on. Now, I want to hear what their plan is to fix healthcare in this country.

What do they say about universal coverage? Do they think every American should be able to afford going to a doctor if they get sick?

What do they say about portability? If you lose or leave your job, do they believe you should be able to take your coverage with you to your next job?

What about costs? Are they satisfied with 10% increases or more every year in health insurance costs? How do they plan to bring it down other than by "tort reform"? Those lawyers support Democrats, don't you know?

What about pre-existing conditions? Do they have a plan where someone with a pre-existing condition cannot be denied coverage by insurance companies? Also, do they have a plan where they are not priced out of the market?

What about a public option? How do they plan on creating competition? Do they think letting insurance companies compete across state lines will open up competition? Are they willing to open insurance companies up to trust and monopoly violations? Are they willing to put regulations on big insurance companies?

I want to hear the media challenge them just the way they have challenged the Democrats. I'm going to enjoy that - especially since the GOP had 8 YEARS to come up with a plan, and did NOTHING.
