GOP plan would not help those in need

| October 31, 2009 9:00 PM

Every time I go into a local retail business, I am reminded of the GOP plan for health insurance.

It’s the can or jar sitting on the checkout counter, pleading for donations to help someone who has suffered an injury or illness to pay for their medical bills. Isn’t this kind of like the army having a bake sale to raise money for a new tank? Once again, I expect the GOP and big business, i.e., health insurance industry to prevail.
