[QUOTE="soonersfan, post: 1426600, member: 9063"] Actually more than one alternative solution was presented. The one with the most support was only 800 pages instead of 2,500 or whatever the final number was on Obamacare. It didn't get a lot of play in the media because it kind of contradicted the whole "party of no" slogan they had adopted. Republicans were shut out of the whole process so suggesting alternatives was kind of a waste of their time. Obama told us these negotiations would be held on CSPAN for all to observe. Instead, the only negotiating was between democrats to determine who was going to get the sweetest deal. The whole process should be a reminder as to why it is never good for either party to have a large majority. It gives them the ability to do more "governing" which is simply more legislation resulting in larger government. I'd certainly like to see Obamacare repealed as I would all entitlements. However, political gridlock is probably the only way we all win. We need a government that moves slowly. Look at the crap that happens when either side has a majority and can ram legislation through.
