Alternatives to Obamacare

You hear that the Republicans have no ideas to offer for a replacement of Obamacare.  Who do you hear say that?  Why the Democrats, of course.  However, it must be noted that all through the time Obamacare was being drafted without allowing Republicans in the room, Republicans were floating ideas and presenting proposed bills for voting on the floor of both houses.  To no avail.  It must also be noted that Harry Reid, majority leader and dictator of the Senate, would not allow a single Republican bill or amendment be brought to the Senate floor for consideration or for a vote.  He later claimed that the Republicans had no ideas and nothing to offer.  For anyone willing to give the Republicans a break they have alternatives and as the author of this piece says "Americans should know that there are workable Republican alternatives to Obamacare. And while none of them is perfect, any one of them would be better than the law now on the books."
