Once the VA healthcare system functions well and social security stays solvent, I might listen to political wisdom on their involvement on the subject.
Unfortunately the federal government only rewards failure with bigger budgets, more regulation, and less results. Whatever they touch becomes a vortex of ever increasing diameter, sucking in everything they will throw at it.
I believe this, and yet our own political mess is a problem that “needs a political solution.”
The only solution that is going to work, I believe, will be an evolution. And the American people are going to have to demand that evolution. Is Obamacare a shangri-la for those in Democrat represented areas? I deeply and darkly doubt whether that is the case. Stupidity blows back on everybody, not just on Republicans.
