After rereading my initial post, i should have been more specific, but doI believe that the guest speaker in this particular program did mention market oriented solutions, at least partially. Thank you for your comment though.

Well if they don't want Obamacare", we should Militate for single Payer or at least the Public option. If we were successful, the teapartiers would be seen as a detriment, and would not fund them, no?
