Just The News: When the coronavirus crisis slows, congressional Republicans plan to unleash sweeping health care reform proposals that would draw a sharp contrast with Democrats’ Medicare-for-All and public option plans by empowering patients to find cheaper drugs and cheaper insurance while choosing the doctor and treatments they want.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., gave Just the News a broad preview of the emerging GOP plan, promising it would protect patients with pre-existing conditions, remove barriers to cheaper generic drugs and leave doctors and patients, instead of insurers or bureaucrats, in charge of treatment decisions.
“We’ve been working on a number of things that focus on two main issues: one, lowering costs, and two, putting patients in charge of the decisions, not government bureaucrats,” Scalise said during a wide-ranging interview with the John Solomon Reports podcast. read more
I wonder if PRESIDENT Trump will say, “FUCK YOU DEMOCRATS!” and go Executive Order Ninja on The CARES Act…🤔
Something to make life easier for the American people?
The Dems will fight it tooth and nail.
Good idea for them to have one out this summer during election season. People can make a choice – and the constant Dem claim that ‘Republicans don’t have a plan’ will be proven false. They will need to present a quality plan – i.e. one that Dems would never support.
The Progs will try to turn it into OBUMBLE CARE II.
HEY GUYS, I’VE BEEN OUTTA TOWN..IS JOE BIDEN STILL ALIVE??
Meanwhile, dems pushing new green deal.
Technically Benito.
This is the sort of thing that would become a campaign issue this year so they must be expecting the whole coronaphobia thing to blow over before then.
IMO.
Like the useless asshole democrats would allow something they can’t use to launder money or control to pass to help the American People.
When the virus recedes there won’t be any jobs, money or GDP because of the mishandling of this “crisis” by the mostly democrat Governors and the rest of the chicken littles in charge. Going to be a lot of people without a pot to piss in but pissed off.
I just got off the phone with a Canadian friend. The conversation was going OK until he said he was proud of how well Canadian officials are handling the situation as opposed to Trump who just makes stuff up and flies of the handle.
This friend does a weekly online radio show with a chat room. Traditionally the chat room has been a politics-free zone, but that went out the window when Trump was elected. Needless to say, we don’t check in there much these days.

“Needless to say, we don’t check in there much these days”
Radio Matt, then why did you call him?
Nanny Pelosi runs congress, not the republicans …
Cocaine Mitch is Pelosi’s bitch
Romney/Ryan are still there to scuttle any attempt to correct Obamacare
They must be confident the democraps are in disarray, with no energy or tricks up their sleeves. Sort of like charging the hill when you know the enemy is out of ammunition. Let’s hope they all retreat.
I like this new conservative version of “use the crisis to resolve the issue at hand to the advantage of the American people” vs the stale old traditional method of “use the crisis to pass laws that would never have been able to be passed had it not been for the crisis”.
It’s nothing but horseshit that republican congressmen are trying in an attempt to fool their voter base, who they think of as idiots and fools.
The republicans had their chance. They ran congress. Didn’t do a damn thing. When they can actually do something, they just fold and go along with the democrats. Every time.
I live in Indiana. I think every republican voter in Indiana is against this ‘stay at home order’ stuff. It’s a policy that democrats are for. We have a republican governor. Of course today he just issued a stay at home order for the state of Indiana.
The republican party is not going to save republicans from anything the democrats want to do. Period. It’s a complete fantasy to think otherwise.
The best thing that could happen is if the country implodes, the gov’t goes kaput, and we start over. That’s my dream.
Damn right. This could and is probably going to be a big screwing when it’s all over
Smart Asset, Thank you for the well worded comment. It’s nice to see when you are not alone. Well done.
this virus is so overblown. I’d rather risk a virus that now has a cure to shutting down the economy and handing it over to the commies
TM: we don’t check in with the chat room on his show. We do,talk from time to time.
The virus has their spending fever in high pitch, we’re in trouble as usual.
Where was this plan 2 years ago when the Republicans had everything? And do they really think they will get enough votes? If so, I know where there is a store selling cheap toilet paper and they have plenty for everyone.
Any way of knowing where Dems will be vacationing during recess? Especially out of the country?
Asking for a friend…
