The GOP have finally revealed their own health care plan, which, in short, is a tweaked version of the McCain health care plan- which offers roughly $5,000 in tax rebates for families to purchase coverage, even though the average cost to cover a family is $12,000.
Hmm, something just isn’t adding up here….can this really amount to affordable coverage for all? I think not.
The Republican plan, titled “The Patients Choice Act” can be seen and further summarized in this Huffington Post article:
… the plan will be introduced by U.S. Senators Tom Coburn, (R-OK) and Richard Burr (R-NC) and U.S. Representatives Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Devin Nunes (R-CA) at 11 a.m[Wednesday, 5/20]. The focus of the proposal — an advanced copy of which was obtained by the Huffington Post — is to push for a “guaranteed choice of coverage” in the private market through federal-state partnerships know as State Health Insurance Exchanges.
