Are you guys getting mad? Republican SMASH!! haha
Even though I was reluctant to look at your link after being called a "delusional jackass", I skimmed over the Forbes article. Forbes, btw, is a magazine written with a heavy republican bias, since it is mostly about supporting big business and creating a plutocracy. Talk about buying into bullpl***.....
Let me take this "idea" as an example of why they don't really have ideas, a direct link off of the article you submitted:

Now skim down to the "Key Points" section of the article.
"Give every american the resources and right to purchase healthcare in a free market"
In other words, get everyone back on the system we had before, and how exactly are we going to give every american the 'resources' to do this? Are the rich going to give money to poor people who can't afford heath insurance? Oh.....I forgot....that's socialism!
"End tax code discrimination against those who cannot get insurance through their employer by giving a flat tax break to every american"
This makes me want to lol. Tax code discrimination? Those poor, discriminated against rich people. 'OH NOES! They have to pay more taxes than the rest of us so they can't afford to give their employers insurance'
ummmm...let me just say...BULL F*UCKING pl*ps!!!! They pay LESS of a tax rate than the rest of us. Some corporations pay no taxes at all due to write-offs. Their f*ucking GREED is the only reason we needed healthcare reform in the first place.
"Encourage individuals to take control and become smart about health insurance"
Yeah, because that's what corporate america wants you to do, 'get smart and take control'. Another eye-rolling statement. You actually call this an idea?! LOL
"Eliminate the current cost shift in the healthcare market that drives up costs for everyone"
You mean regulations? Are they actually suggesting that we go against the will of the almighty free market and put regulations in place that would eliminate the costs that are a result of a competitive economy? Wow....sounds like a democrat talking.
"Ensure piece of mind about affordable, high-quality health insurance for all Americans"
Yeah, because they really did a good job of it so far. That goes for ANY idea that EITHER side has had about healthcare reform. Here's an idea, why don't we give the same healthcare to everyone, that we give to every prisoner in the country, for free?
No, we can't do that. Because this is what republicans in DC really want:
Work like a slave your whole life.
Don't ask questions.
Don't question rich people and company owners. They are BETTER THAN YOU.
Buy things, including health insurance. Have you seen our pamphlet?
If you can't afford to get insurance, get ANOTHER job, lazy ass!
If you get sick and you still can't afford your healthcare costs, just die!
If you aren't a productive member of society (slave) then you aren't worth anything anyway.
"We will take care of you when you are a fetus and when you get rich later in life, but any other time in-between you are on your own! Have a nice day! And Remember kids, Obama is the Anti-Christ!"
