The basic point of this memo is that there is no need
for a new, legislatively designed healthcare plan to replace Obamacare. All the
House and Senate need to do is repeal Obamacare, and then leave the replacement
phase to Americans and the various insurance companies.
The reports are that Republicans are afraid to repeal
Obamacare because they can’t agree on a replacement healthcare plan for
Americans, but the whole idea of repealing Obamacare is that the decisions of government
are usually bad decisions, and American citizens want government out of their
healthcare; all they want is the liberty and freedom to negotiate with an
insurance company and decide their plans for themselves. To hell with
legislators designing a new plan, it’s not needed, nor is it wanted.
The reason Americans voted for Donald Trump for
president and retained Republican majorities in the House and Senate is because
we want government out of our healthcare and out of our lives, and for
legislators to think that they have to design a replacement for Obamacare is
pure big-government thinking and folly. If we have to select from Republican
plans we’ll be as angry as when we had to select among Obama’s plans.
The only sticking point to a non-government-designed
rollover plan is coverage from the time Obamacare is repealed to the purchase
of new insurance by Americans who are free to do so, and that sticking point can
be easily fixed by leaving Obamacare, and all who are currently covered under
it, in a state of suspension following repeal, until a replacement policy is
bought by each individual.
