Those with long memories may recall that way back on May 19, at the VTGOP convention, Randy Brock unveiled the upcoming unveiling of his health care reform plan. Vermont Press Bureau:

Less government intervention, not more, Brock said, will allow market forces to work their cost-containment magic.

…Brock’s speech got a rousing ovation from the GOP faithful. He’ll make his case to a broader swath of the voting public when he unveils a more complete reform plan early next month.

“Early next month,” meaning early June. One month ago. So where is the completed blueprint for RandyCare? I was expecting a big foofaraw with plenty of bunting, fireworks, maybe a brass band, cheerleaders, and a passel of top Republicans playing Pips to Randy’s Gladys Knight.

Maybe they’re just putting in a whole lot of overtime. It’s got to be difficult consulting with all those top conservatives from all over the country, including Tarren Bragdon, the guy responsible for turning Maine’s health insurance system into a free-market disaster.

Maybe they’ve put off the announcement till next week, when Maine’s Tea Party Governor Paul LePage comes to Vermont to fundraise and rabble-rouse on Randy’s behalf.

Maybe the job turned out to be too difficult. Or maybe they decided that the details of a Tea Party reform plan would be so unpalatable to the Vermont electorate that it would doom Randy to a defeat of historic proportions. The good Senator has spent plenty of time slamming Governor Shumlin’s reform plan and the Supreme Court decision upholding Obamacare, but he’s been very coy about his own plan since his big pre-announcement on May 19.

Of course, considering that many Republican policy proposals are nothing more than a few lines of rhetoric, maybe what we got on May 19 is all we’re going to get. Color me disappointed, but not surprised.
