Breitbart.com<\/a> reported yesterday on an alternative healthcare proposal the Republicans in the House of Representatives are drafting.  The draft is 230 pages long, as opposed to the 1900 pages in the Democrat proposal.  A spokeswoman for Minority Leader John Boehner,<\/a> R-Ohio, said that changes were still being made to the bill, but the hope is that the bill will be introduced  by the end of this week as an alternative to the Democrat proposal.  <\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“…<\/span>the Republican plan increases incentives for people to use health savings accounts,<\/a>
\ncaps non-economic jury awards in medical malpractice cases at $250,000,
\nprovides various incentives to states with the aim of driving down
\npremium costs and allows health insurance<\/a> to be sold across state lines. <\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These proposals are designed to reduce the cost of health insurance for all Americans without raising taxes.  <\/p>\n

The article reminds us that:<\/p>\n

“Across the Capitol,<\/a> senators are waiting to see the final language and price tag on a health bill that Majority Leader Harry Reid<\/a>
\nand a few other top officials wrote in secret. It’s not clear when
\nthose details will be available and Reid, D-Nev., may not be able to
\nbegin debate on the issue until the week before Thanksgiving.” <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Generally speaking it is possible to reform healthcare insurance in America without the government taking it over.  I believe that is what needs to be done.  It seems as if the Republican proposal is much closer to that than the Democrat proposal.
