It may not be easy, but I think it will be possible to dismantle the new Obamacare....Certainly IF the people who are the supposed recipients have ZERO skin in the game. Something for free is only free if the people who donate the money, time, and/or effort want to donate any or all of those things. People can whine and cry all they want....most of them can get a job and pay for their insurance or care themselves. Or at the least, buy a low cost catastrophic care plan for large and expensive illnesses. And it may not be easy to dismantle - there will be big constituencies with a vested interest in keeping it going. ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ The Media has not dented these Democrats nor MADE them tell us, if they REALLY had American's interests at heart, WHY they didn't change the system so that it did the things below you mentioned, and made a workable system that didn't bankrupt the country. Socialism has NEVER worked in any country for a long period of time. And certainly NOT WORKED in any country as large and diverse as our 330,000,000 people are.... Deregulation, simplification of the system, removal of barriers, tort reform, getting politicians out of the way as much as possible - all this would make healthcare more competitive and transparent - and likely, more cost effective and accessible. What they did is the opposite.
