The problem is that the US Gov has no business in the “Healthcare” business.
It would be impossible to write a good bill.
Your health is dependent on your own eating habits and “lifestyle.”

It certainly would be, under the conditions they set. But it's a problem that has to be solved, at least enough so that the nation isn't economically beyond repair because it's subsidizing bad health and overpriced solutions. If there is ever to be a way out of the mess, it's going to take some very astute thinkers. Ted Cruz is one of the few in the US Senate who has the brain power to work for a solution.
I have been smoking (tobacco) since I was 11 years old, drinking whiskey since I was 17 years old, been a ranchhand, Firefighter, a Marine (also firefights), heavy duty truck driver, dumb old plumber, and supervised 87 men in all the trades. Retired and now I am just a dumb old farmer.
Had to finally see a doctor for a hearing test (yes I got the hearing aids), the Doc decided I needed a whole sh!tpot full of tests (hadn’t seen a Doc since 1982), some of them were quite horrible.
I read the finale results and about died laughing; the report said “you are in very good physical condition for a man your age, continue your healthy life style and make an appointment for a full physical in a years time”.
OK DOC (what other response could I give)?
Still laughing about that report.
