Obama Care needs to go and something needs to fill the void - they had already imposed so many regulations and so much control over the industry to take away competitiveness that set the stage for Obama Care to get shoved down our throats.

Why do we need to fill the void? If Obamacare goes away then so do the regulations and the controls it imposed. And once it is repealed then no alternate solution should be imposed.

If the goal is for everyone to have healthcare then that isn't going to be done without a one-payer solution, and in the long run that would be disastrous. Any toe-dipping into a government solution, any program designed to kind of/sort of cover everyone is only going to make the situation worse. Ted Cruz has the right idea - repeal, period. Any other solution is no solution at all.

The regulation of healthcare before obamacare was monsterous. Mandates on what each state considered minimum in policies, price fixing, elimination of competition by the blues in many states... I could go on and on.

Would be nice to see a competitive marketplace with many options for levels of insurance needs. This would also start dropping the fixed and abnormally high costs of medical care and procedures.

Have you heard his policies or are you just reacting to the fact that is was divulged that he has them?

He talked about it on an interview a short while back - no Nation will let folks die in the streets due to lack of health care. The poor have to have some way for treatment (not with as large a menu as those who can afford to pay for insurance) and we need to take care of our veterans - it's obnoxious that we need "charities" like Wounded Warrior or Paralyzed Vets to help make end meet for them and get them the care they deserve.

He has his head in reality and would open it up to let the market do what the market does when you remove Federal obstacles to the process.

Knee-jerk reactions w/o getting the full info are going to kill us - we become the lo-info voters we sneer at on the Left.
