I don’t care what happens as long as the ACA crashes... then we enact reforms one at a time and let the free market return.

Just curious does that include ending Medicare, Medicaid and all the other FedGov run healthcare programs? VA hospitals, WIC, TriCare?

I saw this thing on Drudge (think it's still up there) that 74% of babies born in New Mexico make use of Medicaid to do so. (No wonder it's a blue state.)

It's not all that unique though. In 24 States, 50% or More of Babies Born on Medicaid; New Mexico Leads Nation With 72%

My gut feel is that VERY VERY few people share your enthusiasm for a true Free Market in health care. If not an outright majority, a huge minority of citizens (and all illegals, I suppose) have come to rely on Government Health Care. Included in this are all the retired people, as well as people planning to retire and counting on Medicare paying for their healthcare.

The system we had prior to the creation of Obamacare, while perhaps less odious than the current one, was certainly no where near being a free market.

As long as people expect someone else to pay for all of their health care from the first dollar, we won’t be able to get a sane system.

Half of the people, give or take a few million illegal aliens and dead Chicagoans, voted for Hillary because they want to take what they perceive that the rest of us have.
