The Democrats are pushing this monstrosity of national health care to address a few problem. One is whatever the real number of uninsured people (in this country legally. Estimates of that number runs betweem 10-25K people. The other problem is preexisting conditions and the difficulty in getting insured. I would suspect many of those with preexisting fall into the uninsured category.

Usually, it is difficult to beat something with nothing. The Republicans need to have an alternative to pushing everyone into some crazy national program or some level of mandated, one size fits all, program.

It seems quite reasonable to offer a program to subsidize those with preexisting conditions and to not allow insurance companies to drop someone for getting sick. It seems to me, we could do that with a lot less expense and no requirement for some mandated level of coverage.

So, I don’t think Fortenberry’s suggestion is cause for calling him a RINO. I am very much against the Democratic proposals, but I don’t think it is unreasonable to address some of the current problems.
