Monday matters: Columnist

I decided to follow Ross Douthat from the New York Times.

Could a Republican Health Care Reform Ever Happen?

Claim:
There is no good reason to oppose health care.
The Congressional republicans oppose it, because they don't want to pay, nor do they want their voters to pay, and they find comfort in the illusion of this 'free-market' that would be brought to shambles health care was introduced.

Support:
No, because only chance is February 2017, because Obama care needs to be implemented for a few years, so that the right-of-center alternatives will no longer look "risky and disruptive".
By then Obama Care will have already proved itself and things won't be as unclear.
This may be optimistic, because problems could arise, but unlikely.

Question:
What are the proposals better than the current Obama-care?
