GOP Offers Alternative to Obama Health Plan: First Aid Kits in Every Company Cafeteria

Health PlanWASHINGTON – Republicans offered an alternative to President Obama’s plan to expand health care coverage to all Americans. Rep. Charles Boustany of Louisiana explained that unlike the Obama plan, which would require employers to provide coverage, the GOP plan would require every employer with twenty-five or more employees to have a first aid kit in the company cafeteria.

Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., said that the President’s “supposed health care fix is a health care failure and a disaster for the American people.”  The GOP alternative, in contrast, will offer affordable and effective health care for all employees.

“Our plan offers bandages, headache pills and cures for stomach aches,” Judd explained.  “Our plan will render medical treatments more accessible than ever. No more waiting to get in to see your physician. Now, just open the first aid kit and reach for the cure.”
