HR 3400: That "Non-Existent" Republican Alternative

Throughout August and September, we heard Democrats crying how Republicans have no alternative to their raping of the health care system of America. In a "Fact-Check" Card issued to officials and made avaiable to followers, the claim was made, Republicans "have refused to release a plan to the public."

Introduced on July 30, 2009, prior to recess, was HR 3400 - Small Business Health Fairness Act of 2009, introduced by Representative Tom Price R-GA

Will Democrats, who claim to be "reaching out" for bi-partisanship, negotiate with this bill? Or, will they cling to their total takeover proposed by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama?
