It looks like Ezra Klein was wrong again. Yesterday he savaged the republicans for repealing Obamacare but not having a replacement. Little did he know (or maybe he wasn't paying attention) that the GOP was working to make good replacement policy (read about it here). The GOP has set up committees to actually study and find verifiable evidence of policies which would actually cause health care costs to go down and not skyrocket like they have so far under Obamacare. Some of the possible policies that they are looking at include: buying insurance across state lines, creating insurance associations to decrease costs and others.
It's kind of a shock to have Congress trying to look at market based reforms and methods of improving the market before passing laws.
Make your voices heard too. Contact your Congressmen and Senators by visiting their webpages: http://www.house.gov/ and http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
