Patently unconstitutional.
Nowhere is the federal government authorized to meddle in the healthcare of US citizens, whether that meddling originates with the Democrats or the Republicans.
Full repeal—No less; no more!
that’s not even close to happening.
These Republicans are scumbags for telling us that they would repeal it and then going against their word.
Life is compromise... we need this win to set the stage for other wins... and to keep democrats at bay.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. Pass health care... Trump wants it... it will work.
I’m torn on this. While what is proposed is better than the garbage we have now, it’s not full repeal.
But the issue is the previous system wasn’t great either. Uninsured going to the ER for healthcare because they have to give them care isn’t good for anyone (except the freeloaders). This is becoming a Social Security like issue.
Social Security is crap too, but until we are ready to let old people who made poor decisions with their finances live the consequences of those decisions we need someone to force the idiots to save money. (forget the issue that the politicians steal that money to buy votes).
The issue is pretty much the same with healthcare. Until we are willing to let people suffer from their poor decisions to buy a brand new car and buy beer every week instead of paying for healthcare—then we need to put something in place that makes those types of people pay.
When democrats say our plan is to let people die. In reality that would be a does of good medicine for everyone. Let charity step in and help. But keep gov’t out of it. The problem is the previous system had gov’t intrusion as well by mandating ERs take everyone. We aren’t really taking a principled stand when we say just repeal Obamacare. We need to say repeal all medical care laws. Only then will the free market truly be free.
If we aren’t calling for that then we are really arguing over what do we think the best gov’t involvement will be.
