Maybe we should go back to the county hospital system, if DC wants to help poor people pay for health insurance, why not simply create a straight-up entitlement program that gives them a sum of money to buy it?

I think that's what Obamacare was for.

There was no need to mandate everyone in the country enroll, regulate everything, ban new physician owned hospitals and everything else... if the point was just to get health insurance to another 10 million people.

It was all about power and control.
