Senior Republican senators will outline their plans for a conservative alternative to Obamacare this week, the Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol divulged. Although its just a basic outline, the plan would address the preexisting conditions, tax credits for the poor, and shrink the “ridiculous bureaucracy, regulations, limitations of Obamacare.”
Senators Richard Burr of North Carolina, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, and Orrin Hatch of Utah will lay out the plan tomorrow, Kristol revealed. Over the next few months, Republicans in the House and Senate will work on some “tweaks” to the plan in hopes of having legislation ready if Republicans win the Senate in November. “Then it’s up to the president if he wants to abandon Obamacare and sign on to a sensible health-care reform,” Kristol said.

The only alternative I am interested in is full repeal and allow the free market to work -

I'm so sick of the GOP being the Republican wing of the Democratic party and thinking they have to control every aspect of this society with laws, laws and more laws in order to benefit their friends - or whomever fills their pockets the fastest = the free market does a much better job of leveling things in this country.

Agreed. Unfortunately, it's hard to sell a plan which consists of "The government shall now get the he11 out of the way of free people". Far too many people want to either 1) control all of society if they can (these are powerful liberal elitists), or 2) let others take care of them (these are the low information voters who believe the powerful when they say they can take care of everyone). These 2 groups comprise enough of society that it's difficult to get people to believe that human beings can and will take care of themselves if the government gets out of the way.
