    So McConnell trying to stop Obamacare means that the GOP is responsible for the Democrats putting the individual mandate in the bill? You're making less sense than Fresh Air.

    Well the Republican's did everything they could to sabotage the Democratic health care plan and now the Democrats will do everything they can to sabotage the Republican plan. I think we can at this point pretty much assume that neither party really gives a damn about the well being of the American people.
    Of course when I say neither party cares about the American people I am obviously excluding the well being of the wealthy who appear to control both parties.

    there are 2 choices in health care: capitalism and socialism. Republican capitalism is obviously best when you look at East /West Germany and 1000 other examples of direct comparison between capitalism and socialism .

    First of all, it shows one thing; "republicans are not sheeple that blindly follow the Republican leaders. I knew Obamacare would fail after following it from inception, reading CBO reports and finally when HHS given card Blanche on naming essential benefits.
    Then comes the 2017 Republican plan. Another bad plan written by those that don't work in the heath care profession, don't provide care or deal with private insurance companies on a daily basis. While a portion of the law is better, a portion is worse. Preventative care must be removed from basic private plans as it raises premiums for all while all don't need the coverage or will benefit from it. Making maternity an essential benefit is far to costly and raises everyone's premiums while not all insureds need it. Maternity is generally a benefit of group policies but should be an option on individual policies. Newborn care and subsequent insurance is generally an included benefit on group coverage but should be an option on individual coverage as not all insureds need it. In my opinion there should be group plans that healthy individualscan can be insured through and group plans for those with less costly preexisting conditions can purchase. And those with terminal illness or in need of costly surgery or ongoing medical care can apply for through the federal and or state government at low and or subsidized premiums, these are the uninsurable people?

    You missed the point which is that there are only two choices one is socialism the other is capitalism you need to decide which you think is best and why. Do you have any idea which is best?
