So, the House Republicans are now claiming that they will be floating out their own healthcare reform program “really soon now”:

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives plan to offer an alternative to Democrats’ massive healthcare reform bill that would not raise taxes or require people or businesses to buy health insurance, the House Republican leader said on Sunday.

It’s not gonna happen.

Not….

Gonna….

Happen….
