You're on a mighty high horse over PECs in this thread for someone who doesn't support that law, given what it does to PECs in this country.

i told you earlier. i'm not a Republican

i don't believe that goverment should be involved in health care and it should be private contracts between consumers, providers, and sometimes voluntarily-chosen middle men (likely insurance companies). so that means i can hate the ACA and the abortion of a bill the GOP is trying to pass

my non-extreme policy solution is this: take all federal funding of health care (so all NIH grants, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, etc spending), cut about 25% of it and create a national insurance program. all you have to do is opt in and you have coverage. also that funding cannot influence any private choice or funding (so if a Dr decides to take that public insurance he is not mandated to anything else, or if he doesn't accept it, vice versa). the federal insurance budget is set with 1% annual increases and that amount cannot be changed for 100 years
