GOP Health Plan: The Status Quo

While Democrats have offered the American people a health insurance plan that fixes our ailing health insurance system and doesn't contribute to the deficit, Republicans have stuck with the status quo. Senators Jack Reed, Debbie Stabenow and Robert Menendez joined Jim Guest of the Consumers Union today to discuss the urgent need for health insurance reform. The Democrats' plan for reform has recently gained outside support from current and former Republican leaders across the country -- including Bill Frist, Bob Dole and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. "The Republican plan is to say no and maintain the status quo," said Senator Stabenow. "While they are jeering from the sidelines, instead of working with us, Democrats are focused on making health care stable and affordable for all Americans."
