But yeah, mostly the RW/Repubs just want to 'replace' it with a free market kind of system that isnt a system, but an industry. Systems are organized and planned ways to deal with a problem. Industries tend to exploit problems for profit. In the case of medical care, that means exploiting pain and suffering in ways that expand profits for mostly Wall Street investors.

In short, they want to go back to the prior status, on steroids.

Well you would think they would at least fake it to some degree Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2014 #6

It's only an elephant in the room if their mindless masses think that far ahead. randome Jun 2014 #9
