I listened to the healthcare summit held Tuesday February 25th to see if the Republicans would honestly participate in the discussion. President Obama asked that the Republicans to identify the parts of his proposal they could support and which parts they could not support. The Republicans were more interested in complaining about how they were left out of the process of writing the House of Representative and Senate bills and that the bills should be scraped.
None of the Republicans identified what parts of the Presidents proposal they could accept. They only talked about the parts they could not support such as pre-existing conditions, defining essential health benefits requirements, and that the bills should be scraped. A few of the Republicans did define requirements they could support such as reducing Medicare fraud and streamlining process of submitting claims for both grovernment and private insurance.
