Repeal this and the first sick kid that dies beause his insurance got taken away is going to be the death knell for any republcian running for office.
thats right.

then the population will get sicker and health care costs will skyrocker and large numbers of workers will be kicked off the current systems of health care, all at the same time that the boomer bulge suddenly floods the system with care needs.

then, next time, as things get worse, if we start to sufficiently scare the politicians, and replace enough incumbents, and purge the bureacracies, we may get a decent single payer system like the civilized countries.

paid for by stopping being the worlds corporate policemen and mercenaries. we will take the costs of decent health care out of the bloated defense budget, close down the imperial bases, and start rebuilding an economy based on our own real wealth.
