Odds ‘n Sods:

The Old Guard of the Republican Party seems to have lost its bearings when debating the “replacement” for Obamacare. Over the course of the past three elections, the electorate has handed them a clear mandate to repeal Obamacare, yet they are still dithering around with “improvements”, “compromises”, and “alternatives”. What most people really want is the extinction of socialized medicine. Yet, the RINOs continue to fiddle around like a clueless backyard mechanic referring to an out-of-date shop manual. The worst of it all is that the Republican “replacement” includes provisions that would force private insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. Well, catch a clue, Mr. Ryan: That isn’t rational private insurance. Rather, that is just a government-forced socialist handout for which the cost burden will be born by everyday people like you and me. Please contact your congresscritters and demand that government get out of the health insurance business. Remind them that government inflates the cost and ruins nearly everything it touches. – JWR
