Either propose an alternative, or please do not say a word.

Rubbish!

When somebody keeps hitting you with a bigger hammer, the important thing is to force them to stop. It does not need to be any more complicated than that.

"Obamacare" must be immediately and completely repealed.

If you really want follow-on measures you could also repeal the Drug Re-importation Acts and the price-fixing that they enable. Prescription medicines that are made in America and retail for $300 per unit here are exported and can be purchased in Europe and Asia for $20-$60 per unit. And many such items are non-prescription over there. But you are not allowed to bring them back into this country. That's a racket that must be stopped.

Existing Anti-Trust laws apply to the entire Health Care Industry. They must be enforced. And executives who violate those laws must be jailed.

Pricing for medical procedures must be posted before service and must be the same price for everybody. That is actually what existing "Consumer Protection" laws require. Let's enforce them.

Insurance companies commonly get 50% or greater discounts on billing, simply by stalling the providers for payment. Such discounts are not available to patients who pay cash. This is insane - and also illegal discriminatory pricing.

Well I disagree.

I understand I am in the minority on this issue. I thank the site operator for not banishing me, for saying so. I completely agree with everything the GOP stands for, and I am extremely supportive of every single issue which Donald Trump has stood for.

Except this one. I think we need to simply provide care, to everyone.

The dems had the right idea on this. It is not a good system, but we had none.

None.

Again I understand I am stating a minority opinion here on FR, and I appreciate the site owner’s not zotting me so far, for saying my opinion.

He does not agree with me. I will shut up now, and not risk what that means. I have said my opinion. I will now not say more.

But we have done NOTHING.
