Hey, an anarch ... oops, I mean a Libertarian's gotta eat!

Rather than retype the posts, here's the thread on the current process from -- Hoo05Dave 06/22/2017 12:30AM

This is a point that should not slip from the front page. -- Hoepner 06/22/2017 07:56AM

(5) Republicans should be more open, but this isn't the most critical -- Hoo05Dave 06/22/2017 11:49AM

Maybe because the dems understand, or at least the smarter ones, that -- 111Balz 06/22/2017 1:51PM

Haha I will agree that I was a bit hyperbolic this morning. Didn't realize -- Hoepner 06/22/2017 12:55PM

Well, if the board wasn't married to its 1990s design, it wouldn't.** -- HowieT3 06/22/2017 10:22AM

Huh? I did not create strawman, that's in your head -- hoothat 06/22/2017 10:12AM

If Dave is going to critique repeat posting about a same topic here -- 111Balz 06/22/2017 09:02AM

Who's critiquing? I just thought he might have missed it, and felt linkin -- Hoo05Dave 06/22/2017 11:28AM

I should have added TIC - I was just joking with you ** -- 111Balz 06/22/2017 12:56PM

It does not really matter...Healthcare access will not be taken away from -- Tuckahokie 06/22/2017 08:02AM

Well I hope you are right, but every indication says you are not -- 111Balz 06/22/2017 09:04AM

Let's be honest- we're kinda stuck in the mud right with the ACA as it is -- Capital City Hoo 06/22/2017 09:56AM

All of which COULD have been fixed if not for the GOP's strictly -- 111Balz 06/22/2017 10:37AM

Yea it couldnt have anything to do with the poor design of the law -- TomKazanski 06/22/2017 11:01AM

If you understood it, you'd know. ** -- 111Balz 06/22/2017 11:21AM

The GOP has fought very hard to keep the ACA from working. -- WahooRQ 06/22/2017 10:07AM

Yep. They had 6 years to work with Obama, but politics was more -- HoosWillWin 06/22/2017 11:26AM

Manage costs -- dajoka004 06/22/2017 09:57AM

But this is untouchable because it immediately becomes "death panels" ** -- Hoepner 06/22/2017 10:38AM

I just can't see the GOP rank and file allowing that millstone to be hung -- Tuckahokie 06/22/2017 09:08AM

It will be hung there regardless because the "lose" insurance lie will -- Hoodafan 06/22/2017 09:57AM

No numbered list? Letting me down. ** -- hoothat 06/21/2017 11:53PM

They need to repeal Obamacare, period. But they are too chickenshit -- ryno hoo 06/21/2017 7:29PM

Not for you to decide Mr Govco -- Capital City Hoo 06/22/2017 08:01AM

Hey, an anarch ... oops, I mean a Libertarian's gotta eat! ** -- HowieT3 06/22/2017 08:42AM

And thats why we live in a democracy to settle this question. ** -- Hoepner 06/22/2017 07:49AM

It's sad that in the supposed greatest country on Earth we have a large -- hokie in cville 06/22/2017 07:18AM

Who is preventing anyone from basic healthcare? ** -- TomKazanski 06/22/2017 07:53AM

There are plenty of hard working people who can't afford decent healthcare. -- hokie in cville 06/22/2017 08:03AM

The current healthcare system is the one you and your ilk passed -- TomKazanski 06/22/2017 09:22AM

He doesn't have a moral compass. Don't bother. ** -- WahooRQ 06/22/2017 08:23AM

LOL- you're asking a lot there... -- Capital City Hoo 06/22/2017 08:08AM

The basic structure of the economy which means people working at the -- Hoepner 06/22/2017 07:59AM

Ahh. so in addition to repealing (& NOT replacing) O-care we need to -- southdenverhoo 06/21/2017 11:37PM

Yes ** -- FfxStationHokie 06/22/2017 07:41AM

The 162 repeal would work for him because -- Shenhoo 06/22/2017 07:31AM

Damn Canadians, British, German, Dutch, Israelis .... -- Quaker 06/21/2017 8:03PM

Why do people always compare us to Western Europe -- hoothat 06/21/2017 11:37PM

Please elaborate... -- Capital City Hoo 06/22/2017 08:57AM

I don't think any are comparable -- hoothat 06/22/2017 10:36AM

Canada too; even Mexico has a better system than we do ** -- Quaker 06/22/2017 08:33AM

It's not just Western Europe, it's much of the world. -- HoozOnTop 06/22/2017 12:57AM

I am just saying we aren't comparable -- hoothat 06/22/2017 10:06AM

Yes, there are some differences, and no, we don't need to clone -- HoozOnTop 06/22/2017 11:35AM

That's not close to what I was saying. -- hoothat 06/22/2017 5:42PM

So if we just create a single payer system, all the costs -- Hokieesith 06/21/2017 9:10PM

Well, then we cut reimbursements, once there's only one payer in town -- southdenverhoo 06/21/2017 11:40PM

If your solution is to completely collapse health care, that's a great plan -- Hoo05Dave 06/22/2017 12:47AM

There are a number of govco payment schedules already in existence which -- southdenverhoo 06/22/2017 09:28AM

Yup. ** -- psychobilly 06/21/2017 7:46PM

Ah when you are cleaning up a pile of manure its best to isolate ** -- TomKazanski 06/21/2017 5:42PM

Said the voices inside your head. -- WahooRQ 06/21/2017 7:33PM

Shit shoveler huh? That suits you ** -- HooJet 06/21/2017 7:16PM

They don't want it to succeed -- Faz d. Hoo 06/21/2017 4:53PM

I think many would like reform of the system, but there just isn't agreemen -- Hoo05Dave 06/22/2017 01:19AM

Carriers are dropping like flies, next year premiums will be up 25% across -- TomKazanski 06/22/2017 07:51AM

That's not good analysis -- Hood 06/21/2017 6:10PM

They're not capable of producing a good bill by themselves -- Faz d. Hoo 06/21/2017 11:35PM

They will certainly have talking points at the ready if it fails -- Hood 06/22/2017 12:14PM

Exactly. They are trying to just pass something so they can say they did -- WahooRQ 06/21/2017 6:40PM

obama? ** -- FfxStationHokie 06/21/2017 5:29PM

If true, then putting politics ahead of the people who elected them. Which -- HoosWillWin 06/21/2017 4:59PM

That's what politicians do. ** -- Faz d. Hoo 06/21/2017 11:36PM

My guess is that they are being so secretive, simply because -- HoosWillWin 06/21/2017 4:35PM

Dems have the ads ready regardless of what happens -- TomKazanski 06/21/2017 5:57PM
