These are the facts. Repeal without a Replacement is political suicide.

...

Yep. Pure free market ideology doesn’t work with healthcare. I just tell myself we’ll get a lot better law than what we would have had with Hillary.

I haven’t made a particular point yet in this matter, because it’s philosophically horrifying, especially if it’s true.

Simply put, in a world where Quantitative Ease creates money from thin air, entirely on a whim, how can “Free Market” have any justification? Money is the unit of measure of the Free Market. But money comes from nothingness. QE created money totally 25% of GDP over about 6 yrs recently.

How can GDP mean anything when its measure is whimsy. How can markets mean anything? How can the budget?

Bernanke destroyed a lot of moral measure with what he did. If dollars are stolen, so what?

I disagree.
Repeal, postdated to July first or December first would have no political consequences and would allow for multiple competing well thought out replacement options, rather than the totally ill considered half a$$d ideas currently proposed.

I disagree.
Repeal and Replace killed/kills Repeal.
Repeal as a stand alone bill, possibly post dated to July first or whenever, must be passed first. Otherwise the ill considered ideas currently proposed will just be ObamaLite.
