First: Reduction of government involvement -— medical care does not require political commissars and bureaucrats and social engineers and community watch officers ... to wit: cut out the socialism.

Second: Ban government from deciding, or affecting decisions, regarding whom you wish to see for your medical care. You get to - again - pick your doctors.

Third: Several of the states -— BEFORE OBAMACARE -— already had special exchange/pools, where people who had difficulty getting health insurance, could submit an application to the insurance companies of their own choice, and each year, the submissions, let’s say to a Health Insurance Company X, would be accepted by Company X. Thus, if you had some previous health condition that kept you out in the cold, and you bothered to re-apply, you would be accepted ... IF YOU BOTHERED TO RE-APPLY. It worked.

35 is the number I heard. If we really wanted to help the uninsured, why didn't we get the other 15 aboard or if you are BHO the other 22 ;-)? Nah that was to easy, it was all about control...
