In a world of scarce resources, a slightly higher mortality rate is an acceptable price to pay for certain goals

Except that he's wrong. A higher mortality rate is associated with death panel thinking. Make no mistake, government health care is part of the euthanasia movement.

There were endless stories about people whose lives were endangered by the fact that they were losing their coverage and losing their doctors, and not one Democrat gave two hoots about it.

They want their way, regardless of who dies, regardless of the endless numbers of people losing their coverage.

To hear them accuse Republicans of the very thing they are guilty of is... typical.

"If Obamacare perishes — and I hope it does — conservatives should be ready to coalesce around a concrete replacement plan"

What did Americans do before there was health care insurance.

Uh, news flash mr. strain. The mortality rate world wide remains at 100%. I will not give another dollar in contributions until something is done about this travesty. :>}

Better they die a natural death than be executed to balance the budget.

The only thing the government should cover is catastrophic medical care costs - which would funded by all taxpayers.

People should be able to take care of non-urgent medical care themselves.

The point is not to cover everything but to keep people from going broke if they get extremely ill. Both conservatives and liberals can get behind such a proposal.

Obamacare tries to do too much, is too expensive and simply unworkable.

Yes, we’re going to have some kind of single payer system. But it won’t be expansive as the Left wants because what can government do best and what should government leave well enough alone?

That’s a debate the country needs to have.

The replacement plan should be to get Government ouf of healthcare unless they're funding a cure.
Open up the nation to bid for their plan across state lines and the prices will fall.

As it goes now, healthcare is impossible for MOST Americans. The prices have skyrocketed.
This concept is killing the economy, stagnating our economy, killing our jobs.

Obamacare should have millions of people extremely pissed off when the bill comes.
And those who are not PO'd support socialist agendas and do not deserve to be Americans.

This author’s argument is precisely the fly-paper that the promoters of this steaming pile piece of legislation wanted. Get their foot in the door, cancel millions of policies, jack the rates through the roof, and then start in with the wailing and gnashing of teeth if it get’s repealed. No wonder they call it the Washington Compost.

If these are the stakes, many liberals argue, then ending Obamacare is immoral.

He said liberals and immoral in the same sentence. What a joker!

Obamacare is already killing people when their hospitals close from the Medicare cuts that come with it.

How many have died because they lost medical coverage because of Obamacare, or now have delayed or deficient treatment?
