You know it’s campaign season when the mainstream media begins recycling stories about how Republicans have no healthcare plan. Witness a recent Axios piece titled, “Republican campaigns are silent on health care.”
These stories are part theater, part partisan cudgel. Republicans have long had patient-centered solutions that will make healthcare affordable like they do in every other part of the economy. The Axios piece even lists several such reforms offered by GOP hopefuls.
Yet these stories also have a grain of truth. After taking years of political bashing for trying to fix the healthcare system, many Republicans seem to lack confidence in addressing health reform.
