Last week President Obama asked critics of his health care reform plan what their answer was if they didn’t like his.

Well sir, I would kindly like to let you know you can find out what the answer is. That is if you and ABC can spare some time on Wednesday.
 
You can even get a preview of some of those answers in Ryan Ellis’s post on the topic over at RedState.

Expect Obama & Co to move the goalposts. Democrats used to say, "If you don't have your own plan, then don't attack ours." Now that Republicans are proposing plans they'll say, "If you can't pass your own plan, stop attacking ours."

There will be a seat reserved for President Obama. President Obama, if you truly want to exhibit bi-partisanship come meet the other side of Congress.

WHY CAN'T ALL OF US HAVE THE SAME AFFORDABLE TYPE OF HEALTH CARE THAT MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNMENT HAVE? WHY SHOULD YOUR PLAN BE BETTER THAN OURS? YOU'RE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING FOR US, RIGHT? AND WHY EXCLUDE UNIONS FROM BEING TAXED? AREN'T WE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE WORKING FOR? REACH DEEP DOWN INTO YOUR HEART AND DO THE RIGHT THING "FOR ALL THE PEOPLE, INCLUDING YOURSELVES AND THE UNIONS".

A partial answer: build free clinics. Build them with green technology such as passive solar, rainwater harvesting for gray water, recycled items, etc. Staff them with competitively paid doctors, PAs and nurses. Charge everyone $1 per office visit. Result: You would then only have to worry about universal health insurance for hospitalizations and major surgery. More results: Creating jobs in construction & medicine. More results: People who have health insurance and like their policies would not have to change. How to pay for it? Use some of that stimulus money you are planning to spend on ridiculous things for this instead of asinine studies of bovine flatulence, etc. That's my idea for health care reform.
