Good for him! What unanimous Republican opposition and traitorous Blue Dog filibuster-threats did was weaken the proposal to the point where even its supporters acknowledge it's barely half a loaf. Don't expect Miller to take that path, though. First, he's not smart enough. Second, he's incapable of doing anything more than reading directly off G.O.P. talking points.
On the off-chance someone does show up at a Republican meeting with Miller who actually cares about something more than partisan politics, maybe they'll ask this question:
"Okay, Mr. Congressman, you don't like the Senate or the House health care plan. A lot of people don't. But as our congressman, we send you to Washington to do something more than just say 'No.'
"Everyone knows our health care system is too expensive and in terrible shape. We spend many times more, and get worse results, than any other advanced country in the world. So what, specifically, do you propose as a solution to the problem?"

Your (or somebody else's) question:
"[w]e send you to Washington to do something more than just say 'No.'
"Everyone knows our health care system is too expensive and in terrible shape. We spend many times more, and get worse results, than any other advanced country in the world. So what, specifically, do you propose as a solution to the problem?"
The problem with the question is it shows a lack of knowledge of the existence of the plan actually proposed by the Republicans, H.R. 3400, of which Rep. Miller is a co-sponsor. It's called the Empowering Patients First Act. It is written to solve the problems via the private sector instead of the socialist route preferred by the Reid, Pelosi, Obama triumvirate.
The other thing it shows is that you have the Obama talking points down to a T. They are lies, but repeated often enough, people tend to believe them.

The health care system didn't get in this condition overnight so why the rush to overhaul .
Is there any reason why the administration could not first look at ending waste and corruption before the completely try to flip the system?
Is there any reason why there were not steps implemented to make changes and address the faults before the dems decided to amputate?
Another snap throw together based on political bargaining and not truly fixing the system.
