Here’s a true repeal on replacement for Obamacare.
This plan levels the playing field
Here’s a true repeal and replacement for Obamacare that would be fair to all:
The new, revised, improved legislation would include a one-page preface that requires: all federal employees (including members of Congress and the executive branch) to sign up for the new repeal and replace legislation that applies to the public. There would be no exceptions. Federal employees not signing up for the new repeal and replace legislation in a specified time would lose their government health insurance, would be responsible financially to purchase their own insurance, and deemed ineligible for any other employer-sponsored health insurance.
Now with adequate incentive, the details of the repeal and replace legislation could be safely left to the politicians. My guess is this would end up being a high-quality and cost-effective health-care program.
This approach follows the principles enumerated in the Declaration of Independence: ”All men are created equal” (before the law). It also follows the proverb, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”
Would this be eminently fair, honest and appropriate? Yes. Is it likely to be an enacted? No.

The plan is the plan
President Trump commenting on House Republicans’ plan to replace Obamacare: “This will be a plan where you can choose your doctor; this will be a plan where you can choose your plan. And you know what the plan is. This is the plan. We’re going to have a tremendous — I think we’re going to have a tremendous success. It’s a complicated process, but actually it’s very simple. It’s called good health care.”
Thank you, Mr. President, for clearing this up.

A day without men?
We’ve had our day without women; now we will have our day without men. Tomorrow I will not take out the garbage. I will not kill spiders. I will not open pickle jars. I will not lift bales or tote barges. Civilized society will collapse — but only for a day.
