They finally offered one. But it seems they did this precisely so they could say they offered one — and not with any intent of actually trying to reduce the ranks of the uninsured. How do I know this? Because the GOP health reform plan doesn’t actually reduce the ranks of the uninsured:
The different goals and effects of the GOP bill are reflected in a preliminary analysis released Wednesday evening by the Congressional Budget Office, which put the bill’s 10-year price tag at $61 billion. That is far less than the $1 trillion estimate for the Democratic bill that House leaders plan to bring to the floor as soon as this weekend.
But the CBO analysis also concluded that under the GOP plan, 52 million nonelderly Americans would have no insurance in 2019 — even more than the 50 million in 2010. By comparison, the House Democratic bill would reduce the number of nonelderly Americans without coverage to around 18 million over the next decade.
So of course it costs less. It doesn’t actually do anything.

Any liberal moron can reduce the uninsured by mandating an unconstitutional requirement forcing people to buy insurance. The Republican bill reduces the cost allowing more people to purchase insurance if they choose. This is America, at least it used to be.
Won’t do anything?
It will do what Obama said he wanted to do back when he was running for President. It includes meaningful tort reform, among other things, that will significantly reduce the cost of health care.
This will allow more people to afford health insurance and do so without a government takeover and without forcing people to buy insurance and without gigantic new taxes.
Republicans just aren’t saying how many because 1. There is no way to tell for sure and 2. They are leaving it up to the people (as it should be).
If Democrates were honest they would not be making claims as to how many more people will be insured. They don’t know.
“It will do what Obama said he wanted to do back when he was running for President.”
Except for that part where you cover a substantial number of uncovered people.
