The fact that the RINOs/Apologists at National Review are all in for Walker, should be a sign for everyone.

Stadium Scott still has the federal government involved in healthcare.

Replace obamacare? Why? Was it ever the intent of our Founding Fathers for the federal government to be in the medical business, steal money from the citizens in the form of taxes and use it to shove unwanted things down the same taxpayers throats?

This should be left for the states to decide. If California wants socialized medicine, then great. If some central state wants no part of it, then great too! The feds just need to keep out of it.

FU Scott Walker!

Can you tell us what you think is wrong with Scott Walker’s healthcare proposal?

Two things I don’t see that greatly contribute to cost are missing that I think need to be addressed. Allowing people to shop insurance across state lines and tort reform, but reeling in the lawyers will never happen.

I still need to dive into it later in the week but at first glance I don’t hate but don’t love it either. I disagree with some here that we don’t need a replacement. We do because it’s not like the federal government wasn’t already knee deep in healthcare. We have to fix what was broken over 60 years. Plus, politically it is necessary to have a plan other than just repeal because the charge will be that we are ‘taking away’ people’s healthcare.

. What I don’t love so far is the introduction of new tax credits. I think it sidesteps the core issues and opens up a new endless growth in pandering. I look forward to diving in to this further to see what else he is proposing. I am willing to take some bad if there is a lot of good.

The best plan was to STAND with CRUZ in 2013. Scott and Carly and other RINO’s were attacking Cruz for Ted’s brave and correct defund move.

Scott and Carly are cuck campaign conservatives.

This is the same plan that has been in the Senate for months that was written by Coburn, Hatch and Burr. Since Coburn’s retirement, Tom Price has been advancing it.

For starters he just adopted the plan that Senators Coburn, Hatch and Burr wrote. This plan has been around since late 2013, early 2014. Since Coburn’s retirement, the plan is being advanced by Tom Price.

Trump did present the former in the first debate but was silent on the latter.

No replacements.

Repeal everything, including the onerous regulations. Then let the free market work it out.

Let’s replace federal intervention and control of health care with a different version of federal control of health care

This idiocy is part of the reason why conservatives are always losing to the nanny state

Walker’s “plan” is the GOPe “keep the oligarchy” in place edict directed from on high. National Review approved.

OK, we’re all ears. What do you propose to replace Medicaid and Medicare?

Turn it over to the states over a period of 4 years. Get the Feds out of it completely, including taxes and funding
