The Republicans got a bit of help during this election year, from the Democrats. The Republicans would like to not spend a few BILLION more dollars that we don't have. The Democrats are seeing the electorates' writing on the wall and starting to be shy about giving hundreds-of-dollars-per-citizen HANDOUTS to people just because they were lucky (?) enough to lose their jobs.
The Yahoo/AP story is of course full of sob stories of how hard it is to be someone without a poor sucker to pay most of your health insurance premiums for you. Notably absent from this article is any mention of the fact that it is simplicity itself to open up insurance to more competition, remove coverage mandates, and see the cost of insurance fall through the floor. Also not mentioned is where the money to pay for these "benefits" would come from . . . .
