Repeal Obamacare and replace it with these ideas!

What kind of jerk would oppose a Rosa Parks stamp, anyway?

Ok so let's stay on topic. Would you agree to this in exchange for killing Obamacare? Yes or no? It's very simple and you guys are looking into it further than what needs to be looked into as is the case with most threads on here.

You know, a lot of the stuff under your healthcare header is part of what Obamacare is and part of what will make all of those things work is the fact that everyone will be required to carry health insurance.

The fact that you have "Keep Rosa Parks stamp" on there is offensive. It implies that you can just throw a couple of blatantly race-oriented crumbs at minority groups to get them to reflexively support you. "Oh, let's keep the Rosa Parks stamp. She's one of your people, isn't she?"

It's about as patronizing and condescending as if Democrats tried to win Republicans over with national holidays for Jesus and Dale Earnhardt.

People shouldn't be required to buy insurance if they don't think it's worth it. There's some things about Obama care that I like though. I'm just explaining how I'd have it work. As for Rosa Parks, it's very simple. I thought of every liberal idea I support and posted it here so no offense should be taken. You guys are looking into this way deeper than what needs to be looked at. It's very simple would you support this in exchange for killing Obamacare? I can see how it would sound though to others.

[barfbag]

Will you STOP putting this up everywhere ... "My goodness aren't you clever and insightful" - was that what you wanted to see? OK

You're off topic. Would you agree to this in exchange for dumping Obama's 2,700 page bill? Yes or no?

No.  Now answer the question.

If I answer your question then you have to answer whether or not you'd agree to this in exchange for Obamacare. My answer is that only a meanie head would take away a Rosa Parks stamp.

[barfbag]

Taking health insurance away from tens of millions of people in exchange for a Rosa Parks stamp? You drive a hard bargain, barfbag.

You're either 11 or didn't read anything else in the thread.

[barfbag]

No. There are good elements of the proposal. They're outweighed by the WTF parts.

Australia?

You're the first person to stay on topic. Thank you!

10/10 would trade Obamacare for all this

What do you mean 10/10?

[barfbag]

Considering the vast majority of these measures are cosmetic changes, reforms already in Obamacare, or proposals that are favourable to Republicans, definitely not. Now if you suggested abolishing the debt ceiling, a trillion dollar infrastructure bill, and a UHC system akin to Germany's I might be open.

Some of them are in the bill and it's ok because I like parts of Obamacare, but the mandate and government controlled costs I don't. A lot of this has to do with other issues. Basically I thought of every issue I agree with Democrats on and put it into a bill.
