The GOP Repeal Plan Sucks. But Is it Better Than Nothing?

First of all, the preferred free-market plan for health care policy should be no plan whatsoever. The idea that we need a federal top-down strategy to manage a huge chunk of the economy is at the very heart of the problem. We don't need a federal plan for health care. Yet Republicans have allowed liberals to frame the entire health insurance debate in these anti-market terms.

So the American Health Care Act, or AHCA, is obviously weak tea, falling far short of a promised free-market solution, much less a full "repeal" of Obamacare. It's a half-measure that endeavors to fix Obamacare with small doses of deregulation while failing to repeal its core. It's almost as if Republicans were trying to mollify their constituents and save Obamacare at the same time.

President Donald Trump tweeted something about a three-phase rollout, but the specifics of the other two parts have yet to be confirmed. Perhaps the full proposal will reflect better on Republicans. But considering the noise moderate senators have been making and Trump's own views on entitlement programs, it's unlikely to meet conservative expectations. So what can be done?

Simple.

Remind everyone and point out the facts that the Republican Party by it's refusal to do what they promised to do,  is just another side of the same Statist/'Progressive'/Socialist coin as the Democrats - and work to establish a viable Conservative party that exists outside of the Oligarchy at Mordor on the Potomac.

Otherwise, the only thing that is going to happen is the wholesale practice of insanity continuing on a grander scale with the GOP managing Big Government Socialism instead of the Democrats.
