Video: RNC Chairman Michael Steele doesn't do policy, but he sure tries hard

Remember the days when most people, even those who are politically curious, didn't know there even was an RNC Chair because this position did not come with any real power? I think that Michael Steele really makes life more interesting.

It also seems like a very rough day when when you are a Republican, and Joe Scarborough is challenging your thinking.

Think Progress examines Steele's four points, as follows:

1) Portability is a key feature of Obama’s health care plan. Anyone who enters into the new national health insurance exchange would be able to purchase insurance that stays with them, even if they switch jobs.

2) Steele says he’s for co-ops, by which he presumably means “association health plans.” AHPs wouldn’t help cover the uninsured, but would increase the costs of coverage and would allow selected small businesses to operate outside state regulations.

3) Steele’s tax proposal would mean that young and healthy workers would opt out of employer plans for cheaper coverage, meaning employers could no longer meet participation requirements to purchase insurance. The whole insurance system would slowly unravel, leaving even more people without care.

4) Steele’s proposal of tort reform addresses only 0.46 percent of total health care expenditures.

This TPM Video, or Yesterday in 100 Seconds, kind of shows Michael Steele not doing policy, and the bonus is, it's kind of gut tickling funny too. Well, maybe the gut tickling part is just me.

I will give Michael Steele one minor kudos.He is a likable face of the GOP. Funny, and from time to time, and very, very likable.
