What’s Your Plan?

I woke up this morning and turned on HLN to watch Robin Meade (since I cancelled cable, I only get my Robin fix when I’m on trips ) and they were talking about the Health Care Debate.

This point should have occurred to me sooner and it’s probably occurred to others already, but I recall Democrats responding to Republican criticism with the question, “Well, what’s your plan?”

The idea here is that “everyone” knows that health care in the US is broken and “everyone” knows that the US government needs to step in and do something about it.

On that second point is exactly where I disagree.  I do believe the health care market in the US is deformed, but it’s deformed due to government intervention.  So, obviously, the only action the government should take is to stop doing everything it’s already doing.

But the question “What’s your plan?” presupposes the statist mindset.  And you think the Democrats are the bad guys in this story, just look at the Republicans scurrying around to come up with an alternative.

Republicans are losing the health care fight.
