Repub "answer"- most embarrassing political moment since Adm Stockdale wondered why he was on stage
Nothing has ever prevented any Republican from holding a press conference and passing out their own plan.

They don't do it because they don't have one or one that would withstand even the slightest scrutiny. They DON'T WANT any reform period. They look like arrogant,implacable, entrenched BASTARDS who do not give one shit about the plight of the uninsured, the underinsured, the medically bankrupt or the growing unemployed about to lose their insurance OR the small business people they always try to pretend they love so much.

I wish they would release their PLAN and I hope it will have the same kind of great diagrams that their budget plan did:

A box with "American People" in it pointing to a box that says "lower taxes" with a box pointing to "healthcare" pointing to a box that says "All Better".

1. Oh, they have a plan.
Trouble is, it's only one page long and good only for holding up as a prop.

The inside pages are blank except for the two words:

"DIE ALREADY"

2. Their "plan" is free market idealism
They want less regulation, so that we can all freely make our own deals with the insurance companies! Yeah, right.

3. Do you know where there is a copy of their plan?
We've had next to no regulation which is why health insurance is at a crisis point NOW, for the people, not the companies. They have been making money hand over fist due to their hopefully soon to be found fraudulent practices (You go, Jerry Brown!).

But I note, that their OWN answer did not plug their own plan. They must be embarrassed by it

8. I found
choosing the "Strom Thurmond Room" to broadcast from an interesting choice.

Maybe I'm reading too much into everything these days, but all their actions lately seem like a shout-out to white supremacists.

9. I know where it is ...
It's hidden away with President Bartlett's secret plan to fight inflation.

Josh: You're going to be reading a bit today about your secret plan to fight inflation.
Bartlet: I have a secret plan to fight inflation?
Josh: No.
Bartlet: Why am I going to be reading that I do?
Josh: It was suggested in the press room that you do.
Bartlet: By who?
Josh: By me.
Bartlet: You told the press I have a secret plan to fight inflation?
Josh: No, I did not. Let me be absolutely clear, I did not do that. Except, yes, I did that.
