        Forget free markets. Once you accept this premise, the only question is: How can you cover the same number of people more efficiently?

        GOP healthcare fix has so many inherent challenges. Liberals will hate it--& so will liberty caucus. Plus, GOP will now "own" healthcare.

        Gov't exists to help society where it can't help itself. Can you afford a big six+ figure surgery? What if ins won't cover you?

        Un-entitlement is un-tenable only if it doesn't result in more affordable healthcare and more and better jobs to afford it.

        The rest of the world has fixed healthcare. Everyone. It's 11% of GDP vs 18%. Save us $1.2T. Bal budget & take HC off business

        Real problem is the rest of the developed world does healthcare for 11% & we do it for 17%. 6% of $20T is $1.2T. Bal budget

        If healthcare is 'forever' an entitlement, how soon will housing, food, minimum income be added to the list?
