Try this link about whose idea it was, Republicans Spurn Once-Favored Health Mandate : NPR
A commitee hardly constitutes The Great Republican Idea,
Pauly, a conservative health economist at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, says it wasn't just his idea. Back in the late 1980s — when Democrats were pushing not just a requirement for employers to provide insurance, but also the possibility of a government-sponsored single-payer system — "a group of economists and health policy people, market-oriented, sat down and said, 'Let's see if we can come up with a health reform proposal that would preserve a role for markets but would also achieve universal coverage.' "
In case you were wondering where your talking point came from.
Just wondering why you keep going on with the same thing over and over..........
