The candidates on health care: Republicans

I promised you Republicans last night, so Republicans you get. They're easy, most of them care not a whit, or maybe just a whit, about health care.

• Rudy Giuliani has nothing to say about health care


• John McCain has nothing to say about health care


• Mitt Romney believes in personal responsibility and extending health insurance to all Americans, not through a government program or new taxes, but through market reforms.
  


• Mike Huckabee wants the private sector to find innovative ways to bring down costs and values the states' role as laboratories for new market-based approaches


• Sam Brownback wants price transparency, electronic record-keeping, and health information privacy and hates socialized medicine


• Jim Gilmore has nothing on health care


• Tom Tancredo favors AHPs, getting rid of illegal immigrants, and letting states pay for their own poor people


• Ron Paul has nothing on health care


• Tommy Thompson believes in preventive medicine, information technology, and state-wide pools for the poor


• Duncan Hunter believes in a lot of stuff, including empowering the poor by not over-taxing anybody, but he has nothing on health care specifically
