Opus 2017-095: Repeal Does not Demand Replace

I, for one, am glad the Republican health care bill was pulled.  It is not a failure of conservative principles it is a victory of liberty, debate and an open process of developing laws. 

The Ryan Republicans (RR) were trying to go Pelosi lite.  Remember how she said we needed to pass the bill so we could find out what was in it?  That is the same thing the Republicans were trying to do.  The problem for the RR’s is that Republicans are not mindless, lock-step zombies like the Democrats.  We don’t need a miniature nanny state in congress where certain anointed elites tell us what to think and how to vote.  It is good it did not pass.  It reminded the Rino’s and RR’s that there are still people who insist on thinking for themselves.  There were enough courageous congressmen to make it impossible to get the bill rubber stamped.

It is now time to go ahead and start really working on a health bill.  We need to do away with anything that smacks of socialism.  We need to allow the free market to determine what happens.  I would be in favor of a simple statement saying that the government will no longer be involved in health care after July 4, 2017.  Make it a new kind of independence day.

We need to roll with the punches.  We need to not worry about setbacks.  Trump is not perfect.  He has some serious wrong ideas but seems to be on the right track.  Congress and the word perfect only work together if you throw in the word “idiot” somewhere.

Cheer up and get back to the drawing board.  Meanwhile Drudge points at a congressman I wish I could vote for.  He simply wants to repeal Obamacare.
