They couldn't come up with an alternative to Obama care because their heart isn't in taking care of people. It's more about making the lives of rich people better than it already is. Every decision they make is rooted in the desire to keep more of their money and make more and more no matter who gets shafted. Any plan they come up with would somehow end up with them getting and whatever corporation pays them getting a tax break. The plans would cost $5000 a month and have $8000 deductible with a clause for no pre-existing conditions because they wouldn't want to inconvenience the insurance lobby.
