Dump Obamacare—Open all Markets—have Government help with simple policies for ten years for THE WORKING POOR ONLY! Then, let it die out—or replaced with a pay system. MUST BE SIMPLE! No matter that they do the Democraps will make it look like Republics want to Get Old People—They want all poor people to just die—heartless Captalistic Nazis—all Republicans. After things get sorted out—it will go back to the way it was in 2007.
>Once the GOP admits that government has a central role in the health insurance market, they have lost.
You mean. “As the GOP admits it believes govt has a central role...”. They’ve done nothing, while they have had the ability to do so, to do ANYTHING pro-Constitution.
I’m not talking the 6-lip-service bills prior, else, they would have dusted one off and re-submitted this time.
They pulled out a bill that in *NO WAY* could have been put together in 6-mo time (this, IMO, was the ‘at the ready’ Romneycare bill from way back when).
Funny how even after 40yrs. of being ‘hood-winked’, back-stabbed and flat out lied to, there are those here that are still ‘amazed’ and flabbergasted. Plantation living isn’t just for the DEMs...

Insurance is a business. If the purveyors of insurance are dishonest, then the consumer needs to be cautious in dealing with them, same as any other business.
It’s always been that way in a free society.

That isnt an answer. You guys are simply telling people that they are just going to have to get screwed.....”but dont take out your anger on us...please!!?”.
Like I said, the right had better come up wit ha plan to move people off of OCare as painlessly as possible because platitudes and a “have a nice day” isnt going to cut it.

Amazing that the DEMs can ‘fall on their swords’ to get something passed, knowing the (R)NC\GOP won’t do a G*-DAMN thing to do the opposite, let alone roll-back.
Painlessly? Did D.C. seem to care for the ones raped and pillaged for their MANDATE (some Land of the Free) and gun-to-the-head-’subsidy’ providing?? F* painless.
Be glad if they supplied a bird-flipped-supplied, “Have a nice day.” should the (R) give a rats-ass about We the People and the Constitution for once.
Our lives/property is not theirs to give, mandate nor control.
The Republicans had one 2 years ago.
A handful of hyper-regulated quasi-monopolies can hardly be confused with free enterprise. They've colluded with government for decades to keep the barriers to entry high for potential new competitors.
Yeah, that’s cute.....but my original point still stands.
The Dems were retards and paid for it. But if we want people off of this thing, we had better not compound insult to injury. Doesn’t matter how much anyone here may not like it.
What do you mean take it out on “us”?
“Us” who? Certainly not me.
It’s not my fault.
And I’m not Darth Vader, so there is no malice when I say “I find your lack of faith [in free market solutions] disturbing”
