After the ObamaCare collapse, what's next?

Closing down the Federal Department of “Education” would be a good next step on the road to Liberty.

[Little Ray]

Departments of Education, HUD, HHS, Homeland Security...

All those and more need to go away...
And if you are not a Federal Marshal or FBI, you shouldn’t have an (official) gun. (The BATFE is a tax agency. They don’t need guns, just accountants.)

ObamaCare will collapse. That already seems obvious.

And all of DC knows it ( don't ask ) and wise minds are looking for a solution...

[MrB]

What’s frustrating is that

WE KEEP TELLING THEM WHAT THE PLAN IS

and they act like they either can’t hear it or
that it isn’t really a plan.

The plan is:
> interstate insurance market
> tax deductible individual premiums
> tax deductible HSAs
> tort reform

It’s been tried in Texas, and it works.

They already have a solution - "single payer".

What they're looking for is a way to package it so that they can sell it as something else.

Articles of impeachment should follow, but won’t. Well, maybe we can get rid of Holder.

[SandRat]

geat rid of the EPA as well.

[Red Badger]

Even Democrats who voted for it are crying "fix it" and looking for someone to blame other than themselves.

"We've got to pass the bill to see what's in it." "If you like your healthcare plan you can keep it." "You can keep your doctor." "This will not affect those people who have insurance." "16 million people will now have insurance that did not have it before."

[TexasCajun]

Soo many to choose, but I'll take Obama's lie about not letting Iran have nukes.

Obama is no friend of Israel, period!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Gut the EPA while we still have something that vaguely resembles an economy.

I get a little frustrated with Rush and conservatives simply tearing at OCare and predicting its fall via death spiral. Then what? We need an answer ready to go.

There is a historic window of opportunity here, but nobody is discussing it: come up with 1000 creative ideas to do health care better, from insuring to treating to training doctors, de-regulating segments of the industry.

Now is the time to de-centralize, compete, innovate, bypass traditions and bureaucracies, and definitely leave government and lawyers out of it. Rush ought to take his vast wealth and develop an alternative model using the brightest and most agile conservative minds available, then advance it into the market.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Think “caged animal”.

[1rudeboy]

Here's a start.

[Old Sarge]

And all of DC knows it ( don't ask ) and wise minds are looking for a solution an escape hatch...

There, fixed.

RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.

[what's up]

A loyal reader of this space asked me recently, "You guys have lots of criticism of the President and ObamaCare, but where are your solutions?" A fair question.

A fair question but it shows a lot of ignorance.

Conservatives have been screaming for TORT reform, shopping across state lines and HSA's for years and years.

Finally people might start listening...but only because they had to get burned first.

Here is one obvious solution: allow health insurers to offer insurance policies across state lines on a regional basis. That way, people get a far larger choice of health insurance plans to choose from, and real competition means lower premium prices overall.
