ACA Repeal/Replace: Progressives Face Moral Dilemma

Again... Why the hell do we even need useless middlemen , health care INSURANCE companies?  Let's just drop the eligibility age of Medicare to 0 from 65. Just juse a VAT tax to fund it.  The payroll tax for Medicare would go away along with all of those health insurance premiums.  It's just stupid to tie health care to employment.

Quote:And your claim to being "not well  disposed" to Obamacare is questionable since there's every indication you prefer it to what came before.

As a matter of fact, yes.  Obamacare at least had taxes on some health insurance plans.

I'd also want everyone to have the exact same health plan.  Congress, public employees, VA folks, bureaucrats, etc.
No more favorites, man.
