    Actually debating the issue is now a trick in liberal eyes? I suppose so, since you folks closed Republicans out of all real discussion when you created that abomination called Obamacare.

    ROFL.

    How many Republican amendments were included and successfully passed during the passage of Obamacare? How many hearings? How many hours of debate?

    Try and make a decent argument next time.

    OK. How many? According to Northwestern, choices are vastly more important as a factor of heart disease risk. Let's provide a pool that pays for the 8-10% of unpreventable heart disease. Let's make those funds available for that. Not having a physical to have medical history is grounds for zero funding.

    How many Republicans voted for Obamacare? That's all the answer you need...

    Seriously, you are really bad at this.

    It's unfair to force young people to pay 3x what they should to cover high risk people.

    My view on healthcare is simple. Repeal Obamacare, because it is the most awful legislation in US history and fix as needed. The rest is nonsense to me, just liberal noise trying to defend a dying legacy of a failed president...

    That is the best part. The CBO is claiming that by 2018's end, there will be 22 million signed up, despite all evidence to the contrary. Therefore, they are saying that people who have not factually signed up, will "lose" their coverage, that they weren't buying, by the passing of this bill. (For clarity, 16 million is the figure they say will choose to stop paying for coverage, the remainder is the employer choosing to halt coverage.)

    Especially considering older people are more wealthy and therefore more able to pay the higher costs. Young people would be better served to save their money and invest it, so it can grow enough to cover future expenses.

    He ran on fixing it, not repeal.

    Specifically said repeal and replace. Nobody is really pushing repeal, they all want to keep some of it
