Too many Repubics don’t want a clean repeal and as Mark Levin stated there hasn’t been a “free market” in healthcare.

Every journey starts with a single step.

The GOP voted for it in the past, and Trump should have gone both to the people and to Congress to hold them to passing what they all ran on to get elected and re-elected over the past 6 years.

And “replace”, as a free market solution, means taking away the government interventions that gummed up the market previously: the McCarron-Ferguson Act and the tax deductibility of employer-provided insurance.

Because Trump is also talking about reducing personal income tax rates, he had the perfect opportunity to do the two together: get employers out of the healthcare market and move to lower rates, with the removal of tax deductibility offsetting the hit to the treasury.

That’s what he should have done, but instead he went in the completely opposite, Obama-like direction.

Disgusting.

Exactly - we haven’t had free market healthcare in over 60 years
