Getting Nothing For Something

Jo Egelhoff, of FoxPolitics.net, has a piece up complaining about Wisconsin's health care.

The problem is when she compares it to a bill in Florida regarding health care. Here's what she thinks is a swell idea (emphasis mine):
But the Florida reform, which both houses of the legislature approved unanimously, renounces Mr. Obama's favored remedy: It nudges the government out of the health-care marketplace. Insurance companies will be permitted to sell stripped-down, no-frills policies exempted from the more than 50 mandates that Florida otherwise imposes, including for acupuncture and chiropractics. The new plans will be designed to cost as little as $150 a month, or less.
Um, Ms. Egelhoff, the problem is we are already paying a lot for no coverage. More of the same is not going to help the problem.

But as Ms. Egelhoff quaintly puts it:
And from a Republican. Imagine.
