It’s called the nuclear option for a reason! Once done, can’t get that Genie back into a bottle. When the Dems get back in office, and they will, they will pass all of their liberal retard issues, and the conservatives won’t be able to stop them. I would rather have partial disfunction, than total mayhem. Divided government ensures that only the issues most politicians (our representatives) agree on pass. It is a necessary check on extremism that I would not want to give up for political expediency today. The long term and permeant harm far outweighs the temporary good.
Having most 250% to 350% of FPL PPACA households pay premiums twice to three times as much as they should might well be the hill the Republican Party and the USA die on.
When they have DUI checkpoints in my area, they do it at intersections. If you drive thru the checkpoint, they wave you through. If you turn at the intersection, a motorcycle cop follows you, until they have probable cause to pull you over.

For health care, bring on market force:
1. Break most hospitals into two highly competitive entities
2. Convert other hospitals into real estate leasing entities with competing surgical suites and nursing wings
3. Separate out drug coverage so hospital systems can run care coverage systems and cut out insurance company overhead and meddlers.
4. Create interstate drug plans that don’t have to cover every drug. To qualify for exchange listing and federal subsidies, they would have to most (~80% or more) in all important types (large volume recombinant, small volume recombinant, breakthroughs under patent, etc.). Group and exchange plans to offer vouchers at plan set amounts for out-of-formulary drugs.
5. These drug plans would be all the formulary drugs the doctors (and AI) prescribe with co-pays equal to manufacturing cost
6. Have drug patents limited by government sourced product revenue and overall domestic government health care spending and not by time [so drug companies have an incentive to minimize government health care funding]
7. Require Kirchoff patent collapse to a single entity upon FDA marketing approval of a covered entity
8. reform medical education, breaking down medicine and dentistry into simpler chunks and start it in the first year of college
9. replace most primary doctoring with AI
(human doctor would confirm AI diagnosis, prescribe radiation imaging/treatment, and voucher/government co-pay drugs)
The democrats are so blinded by their irrational hatred of Trump, I don’t think they will ever concede. I really think they would rather see America fail, than to allow Trump a win.
