Which do you want?

The current harangue over repealing and replacing Obamacare brings to mind the sign that hung in the auto repair shop in my hometown:
YOU CAN HAVE GOOD.
YOU CAN HAVE CHEAP.
YOU CAN HAVE FAST.
BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE
ALL THREE.
Who knew healthcare could be so complicated?
Anyone who had more than a sound-byte understanding of healthcare issues.

Healthcare IS complicated. I'm not aware of anyone saying otherwise.
The issue is how much government involvement should there be? The issue is how much government involvement does the U S Constitution allow from central planners?
What we don't need are hypocrites on either side. You know, like the wack job known as Pelosi. When libs wanted to force socialized medicine (phase1) upon us, the mantra was 'you need to pass it to know what's in it'. Now that their goofy, unConstitutional law is being changed/removed, the mantra is 'you need to know what's in it before we can vote on it'. Why was it that expanding gov't control of daily life was easy, quick, party-line, but repeal/replace is so complicated? Why is it that when socialism is implemented/forced upon the masses, it's quick, easy, in the dark. But when anyone wants to give power back to the people and the states, where it BELONGS, it's suddenly complicated, slow, and MUST be fully vetted and in the public eye. When libs/socialists/demons want something passed, they either get the votes to implement their goofy schemes, or they use the packed courts to force their illegal schemes upon the masses.
The challenge with the Republican plan is it doesn't go far enough. The plan should be to repeal completely, then see IF there is federal intervention required. Of course there will be many people who CHOOSE not to buy an insurance plan that doesn't meet their needs. It's called freedom of choice and free enterprise. I can buy the policy that fits MY needs instead of the goofy schemes of central planners. Why can't I buy health insurance across state lines? Cuz central planners don't want me to. Why can't small businesses band together to form a buying group with more leverage and ability to get lower premiums? Cuz central planners don't want me to.
If ANYONE still doubts how truly bad socialized medicine is, which Obamacancer IS, all you have to do is look at how bad the VA Health system (doesn't) work! It's failing. What's the central planner solution? None. What they do is spend more money on it. Oh, and most important, as with all central planner schemes, they promote those who failed the system. And they cover up those who failed the system. Cuz they MUST support their own. It's what central planners across the globe do. Why would anyone think our central planners are any different than central planners from any other country? Hildaliar, her entire staff, and the husband, as well as Chuckie, senile Harry, and the Pelosi critter, have proven that they are as dishonest, slimy, scheming as any central planner. If it fits THEIR agenda, nothing else, including truth, matters.

The issue these days is, can you get someone else to pay your bill?
