No Health Care Bill from GOP

Remember when congressional Republicans heaped scorn on the Democratic concept of a health care bill and promised to offer an alternate plan?

Yeah, the Party of No is also the Party of No Deliver.

GOP Rep. Roy Blunt, chair of a confusingly-named "House GOP Health Care Solutions Group" has announced that Republicans will not be offering the previously-promised alternate plan, because it would confuse things.

I'm guessing that it's less about confusion than the fact that the GOP has not been able to articulate a coherent plan that meets even half of the stated goals. That should come as no surprise. I would have been taken aback if the GOP had come forward for some fresh ideas to solve this problem, because solutions outside of cutting taxes have never been the strength of the right wing.

Wonder how long it will be until they take down this video in which they promise to deliver a plan?
