    I suggest you read a bit about this sham of a health care bill before making further comments.

    I have.

    I dont think many people, i am guessing you as well, understand all the tax that Obamacare added.

    The new GOP plan removes much of that.

    But carry on.

    Its liberalism 101. They are "accepting" and "caring" for all, as long as you think the way that they do

    Sounds more like conservatism to me, minus the caring and accepting part.

    Well said HWR. I don't see this addressing healthcare any more than Obamacare did. It just changes who is feeding at the trough.

    Before any true healthcare reform can be made several serious questions need to be answered.
    1) Does everyone have a right to access healthcare or a right to the same healthcare?
    2) What should be covered by insurance and how far should it go?
    3) Do those who insure and treat us have a right to demand we take care of ourselves if we get treatment for things like obesity, smoking disease and other self inflicted conditions? Should others pay for your stupidity or weakness?
    4) What is the role of government?
    5) Should open competition for all healthcare be encouraged?
    I have ideas on much of this but until these and other questions such as them are honestly addressed we're just arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Well, allow me

    Great questions, unfortunately my answers don't matter even if they are correct. You are also correct that this is all still just a cash grab. Healthcare wasn't as broken as some like to think it was before this shit happened and it damn sure could have been fixed a lot differently, damn sure more efficient and a lot less cumbersome. Now that the gubment has their hand in the pie they aren't going to turn loose.

    So removing the state lines you guys think doesn't majorly change things? Lol

    HSA expansion is amazing thing.


    Again I will say obama care added TAXES. THIS PLAN REMOVES THEM. Obama taxed the rich to begin with.

    The fundamental problem is that there is no agreed upon, or even stated goal.

    Health care is like a balloon. If you squeeze it "here" it expands "there." Without a stated goal we are never going to get there.
