HEALTHSCARE DEFLATE

    I can't believe that after the Affordable Healthcare Act was passed, then upheld on challenge by The Supreme Court, and Obama was re-elected running on the fact of this accomplishment, Republicans are still talking about repealing Obamacare. First of all, as the "Christian" party shouldn't they be happy that many more people will have access to healthcare? You know, all that "love thy neighbor" and "do unto others"... junk? Being as predictable as they are I feel I can go ahead and speak for them. I imagine they would say something like "Well, we would like that too, but this isn't the way to do it"  and then add the tried and true "we need to slow this down and study it carefully" and my favorite; "We need to repeal and replace Obamacare."  Knowing of course it would stop just with repealing and somehow never get around to the replacing. Surprise!

    What I say to that is; "Too damn bad!" It's not like this is something new.  unaffordable healthcare has been a known problem for at least sixty years, and they've refused to do anything about it. They have blocked, slowed, or sent it to committee to die a slow death every time it has come up. They have had decades to come up with their own plan to get coverage for the poor but have refused to do anything at all.

    So they have absolutely no right to complain when the people got tired of waiting and elected some one with a backbone who wasn't afraid so shove universal care down their obstructionist throats. They had their chance to do something, anything, and they blew it. So too little too late repugnantcans!

    They declare it won't work without trying it, or anything else for that matter. Here's a novel idea, since it has been passed, partially implemented, and upheld by the courts, How about we give it a chance and see what happens? I'm sure it isn't perfect but lets give it a year and see how it performs. Then at the end of a year we review it.  We keep what is working, and change what isn't working as well, then give it another year or two- and review it again, keeping even more of it while continuing to fix the rest. maybe in a few years we will have a really good plan. Almost anything would be better than the nothing you have offered.
