Roy Blunt's health care solution: Snipe and sit
By Barb Shelly, Kansas City Star editorial page columnist

U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri chairs something called the "House GOP Health Care Solutions Group."

Today, he's in the crosshairs for declaring that the, uh, solutions group wasn't planning on putting forth any solutions. In the form of a bill, that is.

"Our bill is never going to get to the floor, so why confuse the focus?" Blunt said yesterday. "We clearly have principles; we could have language, but why start diverting attention from this really bad piece of work (the Democrats have) got to whatever we’re offering right now?"

So the "solution" is purely political. Fire away at the Democrats' plan and offer nothing of your own.
