Obamacare would be repealed much faster if all the Congressmen weren't trying to extort "contributions" from the Health Insurance Cos.

HOW TO PROVIDE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE USING THIS ONE WEIRD TRICK

The first sentence of Congress' Obamacare repeal should read: "There shall be a free market in health insurance.”
Right there, I've solved the health insurance crisis for 90 percent of Americans. Unfortunately, no one can imagine what a free market in health care looks like because we haven't had one for nearly a century.
On NBC's "Meet the Press" this weekend, for example, Chuck Todd told Sen. Tom Cotton that his proposal to create affordable health care that would be widely available, "sounds good," but "do you understand why some people think that's an impossible promise to keep?”
(The "do you understand ...?" formulation is a condescension reserved only for conservatives, whose disagreement with liberals is taken as a sign of stupidity.)
