Sorry JG. That ship has already left the dock ... more than 50 years ago. In July 1965, under the leadership of President Lyndon Johnson, Congress enacted Medicare to provide health insurance to people age 65 and older, regardless of income or medical history.
Also, our service men and women handed over their healthcare to central government long before that. Don't hear many complaints about either one.
Question: If you had a home in need of repair, would you tear it down and rebuild (AKA, repeal and replace), or try to fix it? You know that if you tore it down and rebuilt, you would have no place to live for a couple of years, right? But of course you would have options, such as renting, live with relatives, etc. But without healthcare for a couple of years during rebuild, you would have no option but to move to Canada or someplace. Sound like a plan?
