Works for me.

The sooner Obummercare is repealed the sooner we will be on the road to Medicare for all.

I actually agree with you on this one, at least some sort of single payer comprehensive health care plan.

You think Republicans, led by a cabal of billionaire capitalists, are going to go to a more SO(C)IALIST model?

Ha, Ha, Ha............

I already covered this.

Of course the Republican plan will fail too.

What it will do however is bring about a crash in the system, thereby opening up another opportunity to press for single payer.

Thanks
What about the time span between the end of Obamacare and the start of single payer? How long does that take?

Beats the Hell out of me.

It's up to the proletariat.

However long it takes them to get tired of being fucked in the ass and revolt.

I'd say most people are generally OK with their health insurance, both before and after Obamacare (provided they're employed, which the majority is). Nothing major is gonna happen. Some tweaks, including some nods to "free market economics" and presto - Trumpcare. A lot of Sturm und Drang getting there though.

That's a pretty sophisticated philosophy you got going on there.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan made clear Thursday that he is willing to pursue a major overhaul of Medicare, including changes that could eventually put private companies in charge of the health care for tens of millions of American seniors.

Last time I checked, Trump was President-elect, not Ryan.

But you let me know if that changes, OK Finn?
