GOP is and has been lying, will never even vote for health REFORM

Asked by ABC News about a package of insurance market reforms that have been endorsed not only by President Obama but also by the insurance industry, Sen. Jon Kyl came out against all three proposals.

In particular, the Arizona Republican signaled that he opposes requiring insurance companies nationwide to provide coverage without regard to pre-existing conditions; requiring them to charge everyone the same rate regardless of health status; and requiring all Americans to carry health insurance.

In other words, "we want reform as long as nothing changes and the status quo prevails".

Not only don't they want universal health coverage, they don't even want to to reform the current broken system.

It's clear that if the Democrats want any kind of reform, never mind a public option, they'll have to regroup and go it alone. Why they continue to let the Republicans even be relevant in this debate is beyond me. Which part of "overwhelming mandate" don't they get?
