Go on, keep lying to yourselves that Repeal is a great political move.

In case you haven't noticed, America just elected a candidate who made nothing but unorthodox political moves.

You want the government to pay for healthcare via medicaid, subsidies, single payer, etc.?

Either broaden the tax base so that the 47% get some real skin in the game or cut my other taxes. That's the compromise. You get what you want and I get what I want.

What we have now is not sustainable and it is 100% the fault of the democrats, who rammed this trash down the throats of a public who didn't want it. Has anyone heard a democrat in the past year propose any cuts to any existing part of the federal government in order to fund "free" healthcare? If it's so important, why can't we do away with a percentage of food stamps, ag subsidies, military spending, and end the EITC?

It's always "pay more." 33% of your income to taxes, another 15% to outrageous health insurance premiums, 17% for rent or mortgage if you are lucky, 10% for retirement. This is not to mention the cost of children, education, vehicles, etc.

The pie is already sliced too thinly to start asking middle America to also pay for health insurance for 30 million other people too.
