Repeal AND Replace...no way.

How about this:

Step 1: REPEAL the horrible Obamacare, phase it out as fast as possible. If it hurts, well then it will hurt.

Step 2: Reform some archaic insurance regs and restrictions to foster and encourage free market growth and expansion and lowering of costs.
Example 1: Health Insurance across State Lines.
Example 2: Maybe require each insurance co to have some kind of safety net type catastrophic major medical coverage available to anyone who wants it-voluntarily.
Example 3: Give people the option of having "ala carte" coverage for services they wish to have and would have to pay for it themselves. Why pay for pregnancy coverage if you are a single guy or older woman without ovaries? Want to pay for your own preventive care...buy a plan without it, etc...

Step 3: Tort Reform to reduce medical malpractice insurance for hospitals and doctors due to non-legitimate lawsuits.

Step 4: Use the money we spend overseas in aid to other nations to set up an a free insurance pool for basic services and major medical for those who cannot afford private or employer insurance---the catch is that the recipients must work in community service to pay for it if they are able-bodied. Pick up trash, clean schools, take care of parks and public lands, tutor kids, infrastructure construction, etc...just ideas.

Step 5: Preach the Free Market and Personal Responsibility ideals over and over and over. Demand it. Do it.

It is time to get the government out of the health insurance business. It is time for health insurance to stop being used as a "covers everything" policy but much more like car insurance.

We can't file car insurance claims for needing new tires, wiper blades, batteries, oil changes, upholstery cleaning unless in an accident. Health Insurance needs to follow suit...unless the free market dictates that some platinum coverage plan will sell then people with the $$ can buy it if they wish.

You can repeal Obamacare, but it will have to be replaced with some kind of legislation. Hospitals lose too much money without everyone having coverage of some sort. I'm all for the capitalist system. Free market and everything. The Hippocratic oath kind of gets in the way.

Treat people who pay/have insurance. Run a credit check before services are performed. I would agree with legislation geared towards responsibility.

What about other non vital services?
TV, Phone, Car, car insurance, public transportation, lawn care, maid service, car wash

What happens if you don't pay for those things? So those are different because they aren't vital........

Water, sewage, electricity, house, rent

What happens if you don't pay your water bill?

Medical care is a service.

Problem:
- Doctors make far too much $
- The education process to become a doctor is absolutely stupid (for simple family doctor). The doctor union makes sure that it is extremely difficult to keep salaries up.
- Malpractice insurance is stupid - need a loser pay system
- Insurance companies getting in the way. The insurance company offers ZERO service yet they are HUGE businesses.
- medications are stupid expensive (a lot of this is a combination of Big Pharma working with the FDA to prevent competitive products out of the market) (FYI - medicine in Europe is going to go up, because their regulatory hurdles aren't starting to become as big of an impediment to entry as the FDA in the US)

The only difference between a Republican politician and a Democrat politician is the lies they choose to tell. The only difference between a Republican voter and a Democrat voter is the lies they choose to believe.

Obamacare was designed to be a wealth distribution scheme that takes money from people who work and pay taxes and gives it to people who pay little or no taxes with its primary function to destroy the entire healthcare system and bring on a single payer system. It was masterfully designed and now we can't get rid of it
