GOP health-care reform cost: $61 billion, cut deficit $68 billion
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... Yarmuth neglects to mention one thing about the costs. Prices may drop — may— relative to what they would be without federal intervention, but the federal intervention costs a lot of money, too. We’ll all be paying for that in taxes and fees assessed to insurers, providers, and innovaters in the pharmaceutical and medical-device industries. We just won’t see those costs directly . It’s a shell game that Yarmuth and the Democrats are playing. Susan Ferecchio has more at the Washington Examiner : The CBO put the price tag for the GOP plan at $61 billion, a fraction of ...
CBO Score on Rep Alternative for Health Care Reform
Maggie's Farm —
... is striking. Lowered federal deficit, lowered premiums, more freedom of choice, less government intrusion into medicine and peoples’ personal lives, support for health care and savings innovations (including cutting the huge costs of “defensive medicine” by having tort reform – which the tort lawyer funded Democrats conveniently left out), and increased and easier coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.

The GOP Health Insurance Proposal
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
... In many ways, it's helpful and clarifying. The biggest news, it seems to me, is that the CBO judges medical malpractice reform to be capable of saving $41 billion over ten years - not exactly a fiscal life-saver but a measurable idea to control costs a little better. I see no reason why it should not be in the final bill. The bill also claims to prevent insurance company discrimination against pre-existing conditions, and sets up high-risk insurance pools. The result would be around a 3 percent reduction in premiums for most people in big company plans. It will cut close to $70 ...
Change You REALLY Can Believe In
what if? —
... So the Republican health plan would reduce health premiums and cut the deficit.
Compare and contrast to what the Democrats want to do in their almost 2,000 page bill. Then decide: which kind of change do you really wish to believe in? ...

... . Mrs. Pelosi wants to spend 1.2 Trillion, and since Obama is just the campaign guy, he doesn’t really care what she does as long as she passes something with a D behind it, that he can claim…if he decides it’s safe to. So, expect Obama to come out again sometime today to re-stuff the straw man that the GOP has no plans of their own ...

Why So Late?
Clayton Cramer's BLOG —
... I saw on Fox News last night that the Republicans in Congress finally put out a health care reform proposal. Why did it take them this long? It is apparently only about 200 pages long (and only in comparison to the continually growing Democratic bill could this be considered a virtue), and the Congressional Budget Office's "scoring" suggests that it might be the right starting point. From the November 5, 2009 Washington Examiner: ...

So, if you spend $12,000 out of pocket every year for insurance on the individual market, the House bill could bring that burden down to a measly $11,040, and would do nothing to prevent you from going bankrupt if and when your policy gets canceled or you hit your annual or lifetime benefits cap.
Here's how the conservative Washington Examiner described it: "CBO: Republican health plan would reduce premiums, cut deficit."
