republican health plan

jim demint is the president of theheritage foundation which is a right-wing think tank and he's theformer south carolina senator and he just came out with the republicanalternative to obamacare now is three years to lay because we already had a debate and wecame to the conclusion it's a real all we've implemented a lot of it we'regonna official meeting in 2014 well as youmight know holt we shall repeal obamacare implementour plan

the great republican plan now all get tolearn a second but just before i do understand the history of both the heritagefoundation and jim demint so in 1989 the heritagefoundation was at the forefront %uh advocating forrequirement to purchase health coverage through a systemregulated health care market place's that of course is the very center piecefor president obama's health care reform so %uh the heritage foundation came upwith the idea originally and then push for it in fact they lobbycongressional republicans to offer

the initiative as an alternative topresident bill clinton's health proposal so theyactively pushed for an individual mandate and toget that into law allman later on when it came to governormitt romney's health care plan romney care massachusetts which is basically the same thing thethe centerpiece of it as an individual mandate they had said %uh quote it is clearlyconsistent with conservative values could they bemore crystal clear

they came up with the idea they push forin the nineteen nineties they agreed with it when mitt romney didit a when he was governor massachusetts and how much jim demint himself whilebefore he was up are the heritage foundation heendorsed mitt romney for president 2008 and whentalking about his health care plan he said quote that's something i think weshould do for the whole country i mean what aringing endorsement that is so understand men if there's a group ofpeople who is more pro obamacare

then the heritage foundation in the 90'searly 2000's for then jim demint i don't know about they weresold being in favor been a push really loved it right well now all the sudden a they don'tlove it but it's okay cuz they came up with analternative in their gonna tell you that alternative is so in a town hall in tampa florida jim demint said quote this may be thelast off-ramp to stop obamacare beforebecomes

more in mashed in our culture the law is not about getting better health carecake on a weird that you once agree with it now you're talking all this shit about it hecontinued well-insured americans quote will get better health care justgoing to the emergency room i there you have it the republicanalternative to obamacare just go to the emergency room hello nowof course that is the exact system that we had

before obama care so their genius planis just repealing don't to shit howincredible are these guys now that's the system that led to thehorrible numbers that we saw so for example forty five thousandpeople die every year because they don't have access to basic health care that was because have that system andfurthermore you know who funds that system who youthink pays for it when undocumented immigrant for examplegoes into the emergency room and a half hours after on the yet

very very sick and they desperately needmedical attention the taxpayers pay for it so you're saying no to personalresponsibility which is the individual mandate in your say yes to the taxpayers well funding it seemsvery on conservative review these guys are beyond prophetic and you know the showyou it shows you exactly what happened inthe country from a macro perspective the republicanparty has shifted

scholl or lower are you that they won'teven recognize themselves from the 1990s and meanwhile it doesn't help that the democrats havefollowed the right along so now the democratic positions wherethe republican party used to be in the 1990s this is one of the biggest problems thatwe have in our politics we to pull the spectrum all the way backto the left
