Chris Cilizza shows GOP the way on healthcare [View all]

About the delay of the vote, Cilizza says:

"If there was a simple or elegant solution available to Republicans on health care, they would have already taken it! The reason health care is so difficult to change is because there are no good or easy answers. You can't simultaneously insure everyone, get rid of the individual mandate, lower premiums, lower deductibles and cut the deficit. It just doesn't add up -- or come close to adding up."


Oh but there is, Chris. Single Payer does all of that, and more. It is both elegant and simple. it insures everyone, without a mandate, it lowers premiums and deductibles and cuts the deficit. Maybe the GOP should go that way, don't you think?
