At some of the raucous town hall meetings this year, indignant constituents would tell their representatives that if it weren’t for ObamaCare they’d be dead. Actually, if it weren’t for modern medicine they’d be dead; ObamaCare is merely a payment system, (and a rather rickety one). The Left and their “useful idiots” at the town halls seem to be throwing up death itself as though it were some unthinkable tragedy, as though it should never happen. And if death does happen, it’s somebody else’s fault, probably a Republican.
Is it in the national interest for government to keep all of us alive for as long as it can, to ensure that each and every one of us gets to take as many breaths as is physiologically possible? Few of us live for as long as we could because few of us live the clean, prudent lives that lead to max longevity. So I can’t get exercised if some are “cheated” of a day or two of life, especially since that day or two is so exorbitantly expensive. Much of the expense of healthcare is run up in our last days on Earth, when our prospects are already pretty much dead.
If modern medicine found a cure for death, but it was so monstrously expensive that few could afford it, Democrats would be grabbing their pitchforks and caterwauling that the rich are getting to live forever while the poor are being allowed to die. Democrats would insist that the eternal life afforded by modern medicine is a “right” and that the federal government should provide it for everybody, regardless of cost.

It’s not “HEALTH CARE” reform. It’s HEALTH INSURANCE and government meddling reform!
Get the government COMPLETELY out of the insurance AND healthcare industries.
Trump should tell Congress if they cannot move something to his desk by 9/15/17, then he will refuse to sign anything and leave ACA in place though the 2018 election. I would think this is considerable leverage. Let it burn to the ground.
Any one suspect that Comey was a Trump ‘trojan horse?’
It seemed to me that he did far more damage to the democrats than he did to Trump.
Roberts is a lowlife and should be impeached.
Republicans need to repeal OC or face the rath of voters.
Preach it from the mountaintop, brother!!!
Mitch McConnell is letting health care reform die in the Senate.
Nope—Comey has been a Clinton fixer, keeping them both out of prison, for decades.
And Comey is the one who got his good pal Mueller in now as a special prosecutor to go after Trump with all his might.
The Ryan/McConnell/Pence/Priebus team is being pretty effective in trying to shorten Trump’s time in office.
I agree 100% with ya. If they can just get rid of Obamacare it would be a big relief to a lot of folks including myself. My brother who did not sign up for Obamacare was being taxed for not signing up. All the 18 shop guys were being taxed for not signing up. They all voted for Donald J. Trump. Thanks.
