Fascinating to watch. This game has been going on ever since Sarah Palin became the VP nominee for the Republican Party in 2008. Anyone who thinks Sarah Palin is a moron is a fool. Just like Sarah Palin couldnt name a single thing she reads and got the expected reaction, so too are the Republicans in the House today playing the same game.
The Republican Plan allows insurance to be purchased over state lines.

Page 122:
‘‘(8) STATE — The term ‘State’ means the 50 States and includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands."
The Republican plan will cost $36 billion more than the democratic plan, increase the number of uninsured by 10million, protect insurance companies not people, has no provision for preexisting conditions. The list of failures goes on.
In Summary, the Republican Plan is a DISASTER and it defies logic to believe that republicans don't know it.
There are FACTS, OPINIONS and BELIEFS.
FACT: REPUBLICAN PLAN A DISASTER
MY OPINION : REPUBLICANS NOT MORONS
MY LOGICAL BELIEF: REPUBLICANS DELIBERATELY CREATE DISASTROUS PLAN FOR ALL TO READ
Every single republican who stands up and defends their plan knows they are defending and promoting a DISASTER for America. They are making arguments based on EMOTION not FACTS.
The NYTimes calls the GOP Health Plan a "
Token Stab"
Markos Moulitsas summed it up on Nov 6th
"The issue here, what the Republicans are afraid of, this is a threat to Republicans...They built an entire ideology predicated on telling people that government does not work. They are terrified of government programs that work because then people will realize that the government is not the enemy, and that they're going to work, they're gonna vote Democratic because Democrats are the party who realize that people need help, and government can sometimes offer solutions."
Even Ann Coulter Says It Is "
the End of the Republican Party" if ObamaCare Passes
The
GOP, ever since Sarah Palin, has stood for "
Grandstand, Oppose and Pretend"
The Republicans and Democrats are leading America exactly where they want to go.
Just as the Republicans and Democrats brought in social security and welfare during the Great Depression in 1935 with the Social Security Act, Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, and Medicare Advantage in 2003? so too are they going to bring in massive changes to America, and this time the
entire world.
Its
FASCINATING.
