Obamacare is a disaster if it’s repealed, and it’s a disaster if it isn’t repealed.

The Republicans won last election largely on the promise of repealing Obamacare. I don’t know what this guy is talking about. Will there be a transition? I would think so. But the sooner the mistake is corrected the better. Just wait until the taxes for that nightmare go up and up and up — as they will every year.

I love when the enemy tells me what I should do. It means I should do something completely different.

If the repeal comes with a Commerce Clause attack on the reasons for high medical costs, then it won’t be a disaster. The market will cure high healthcare costs.

You don’t need insurance, you need access to care. It would be a blessing to have Obamacare repealed. The Commerce Clause should attack and destroy any state, county or local law that harms interstate competition in healthcare.

That means:

1. insurance can be bought across state lines.

2. medical professionals can cross state lines.

3. zoning/licensing limitations would end and allow direct competition.

4. laws limiting medical practices be owned by physicians would end.

5. allow pharmacists and RNs to proscribe and etc.

At the federal level, allow doctors to use pharmaceuticals off-schedule, allow the patient and doctor to use experimental drugs and allow all drugs/medical devices approved in the EU and Japan to be used in America pending FDA approval.

Then over time, let the FDA die.
