Democrats and Republicans are far apart in their approaches. Democrats' legislation would cover more than 30 million uninsured, while a House Republican plan would cover only 3 million. Members of both parties say they see a few areas for common ground, including reforming the medical malpractice system, and finding ways to allow consumers to shop for insurance plans across state lines.
Hey scott, my source for this article is from news scott, yes news.Not fox , but real news.
Wake Me When It's Over
The only thing that matters is that 65% of Americans don't want "healthcare reform".
watcher of fools
the majority of Americans need Health reform

Your statistics are way, way off. I would love to see your source. But you probably don't have one. Unless you count Jon Stewart. Stop lying.

Democrat or republican don't matter. The people have made it clear they do not want the plan currently under discussion. They have also made it clear that they do not want the current politicians in office. Perhaps it would be better to wait until after the new crop are in office before taking action. We might get a plan less filled with pork and more cost effective.

According to Harvard's Martin Feldstein, your numbers are far off. And if you are familiar with the CBO, you know the output is no better than the requested input data.
Obamacare's nasty surprise
Fewer insured, higher costs might be the result

The problem is both of their plans will not work in the long term.
Both are adding to the problem. Democrats want a complete overhaul, and the goal is universal health care.
Republicans simply want to give tax cuts and bolster Medicare and Medicaid... Government involvement in the health care business is EXACTLY the problem.
Both are simply treating the symptoms instead of curing it.

A lot of stupid responses from the pubs again:
1) The Feldstien article no longer applies since care is mandated.
2) The polls the pubs site are the result of propaganda that they feed to the media. The public overwhelming likes single payer, if that is explained to them. The polls in MA and HI also show broad approval for state run health insurance plans.
3) The Republicans are Darwinists who believe at heart only the strong should survive. Thus, there is no 'health care' problem.
Methinks?
Universal Health Care Reform or socialized medicine was passed over nine president
Clinton tried to pass a health care in the beginning of his first Administration
and Bill Clinton was shot down and UHCR never came up until Obama
The Democrats and Obama let a sure victory slip out of their hands when they made UHCR last on
a long *wish * list
The whole premise of a UHCR was also against the wishes of the majority of Americans
sorry Obama ~~ No cigar

Here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-usmvYOPfco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DKDdVXsC2I Not that it will deal with the death panels that the (un)insurance companies run of course.
I do not understand why so many Americans have fallen for lies about healthcare in the USA, abroad and also the planned reforms [1]. I mean, if the healthcare system in the USA is so good, why have no other nations taken it up? Could it be due to the following facts?
FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [2].
FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [3].
Or if the US healthcare system is run so well, why not run the fire service like the healthcare system? [4]
Maybe that is because in the USA, insurance companies push up costs, buy politicians and refuse to pay claims that people pay for [5]. (Look up Wendell Potter on YouTube to hear more if the link below is too long.)
Obama wants to make insurance cheaper, stop insurance companies from refusing health coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, and make sure they pay out when they are meant to [6], a system similar to that which works in Taiwan [7]. He debated this before he was elected [8].
Is it right that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, Cuba, Germany and so many other industrialised nations with universal healthcare?
If you think my arguments are wrong, e-mail me with proof. But if you can not, let Obama try to help America. If he fails, vote him out in 2012.

The GOP doesn't have a plan.
