GOP opposition to Democratic health care proposals, says a recent news account, exposes Republicans to the charge that they are “political obstructionists with no policy agenda of their own.“ The charge is false—the GOP has advanced several ideas, of varying degrees of merit, about how to improve the delivery of medical care. (For example, Republicans have suggested allowing buyers of health insurance to purchase policies across state lines, just as buyers can do with car and life insurance, in order to foster genuine competition in the health insurance marketplace.)
