GOP To Stick With No Alternative Health Care Bill

Imagine that. The Republican Party says it won't submit an alternative to Democratic health care reform. They would rather call the president a Nazi socialist illegal alien than actually do their job.

Roy Blunt (R-MO):

“Our bill is never going to get to the floor, so why confuse the focus? We clearly have principles; we could have language, but why start diverting attention from this really bad piece of work they’ve got to whatever we’re offering right now?”

That's because you don't have a bill Mr. Blunt. What you have is a cult full of conspiracy theories and a paranoia that crusty old white men are being victimized.

*Update:

Greg Sargent is reporting Blunt has clarified his statement. Now says GOP might offer alternative bill. Says they are waiting to see how Democrats will proceed first. Also refers to GOP's four-page bullet point outline as their "plan." Of course a bullet point outline that doesn't contain one single cost projection is neither a "plan" nor a bill. They would rather stick with their conspiracy theories apparently.
