    Are you sure it has a passenger seat?

    1. I would repeal the ACA,

    3. Allow insurance companies to cross state lines to sell plans
    4. Expand medicaid to individuals AND families for those that truly need it
    5. Offer tax incentives to hospitals willing to accept payment plans and medical care financing

    Since neither one of us are getting what we want, because The ACA is Reality ... I say do what America has done for two Centuries ... make Amendments
    Quit waiting your time speaking with us on an internet forum and expand your business, then you'll have it.

    Until then, you may want to address the topic. Since you're so anxious to learn what the alternative plans are.

    That lie has been proven wrong. Nobody gets to keep their $#@!. Haven't you read the articles about people not getting to keep their $#@!?

    Getting letters in the mail from their $#@! saying they got to get new $#@!. Pay attention.

    For now, they'll keep their $#@! until either the Government decides that they don't want anyone to keep it, or until they understand that the law doesn't work.

    Until then, we have another law that the President unconstitutionally decided not to enforce past a mid-term election.

    yes, everyone should be like you and not have health insurance.

    have you applied for medicaid yet?

    oh right, your state said they'd rather have people like you without medical care.

    perhaps that's where you should direct your rage?

    The best way to control healthcare costs and quality would be:

    a) Across-the-board tort reform - eliminate excessive litigation. Will never happen, most legislators are former trial attorneys, they're bought-and-paid-for by BAR associations.

    b) Reimburse based on outcomes, not services provided - we were already heading in that direction before this ACA cluster$#@!.

    c) Dis-incentive for over-utilization - we were already heading in that direction also.
