Just for fun I will make this a public poll to see who supports it and who doesn't.
Had to vote no.

It's a idea, not a plan.

Short on details.

Don't want to be an American, get out. Nobody is stopping you from running out to the nearest country that supports communistic/socialistic ideals.

Good luck and good bye!

It's unlikely to be what I want but the details do need to be seen in the end to see if it's an improvement over Obamacare. That they shot down the idea of being able to purchase less expensive prescriptions does not bode well though.

Six years and 60+ votes and this is all the GOP has--HSAs and selling across state lines. Anyone who thinks the GOP gives a crap about ordinary Americans is too stupid to be allowed to vote.

Real Americans believe in individual liberty and freedom. They believe in the responsibility of the individual to be in charge of their own life and that means taking the good with the bad and finding solutions in the face of hardship as a responsible person would.

Go ahead, maybe pick up a book sometime on the founders, on this countries focus and its original intent.

Here is a link for you:

The Constitution Society

Read up on the ratification debates, the Federalist Papers, the Anti-Federalist Papers. See what the founders were talking about, what they meant about a free society, what they originally intended for such to be. Read up on what it means to be free, what individual liberty means, what the responsibilities of a free person are.

Time to become an American or get the hell out! This country is only fit for those who desire freedom and respect individual liberty.

Be free or get the hell out. There is no room for peasants in this country.

Here's some words for you: Medicare. Social Security.


Go review them and tell me ALL about individual liberty and freedom. These are two programs are VERY popular amongst our older population on BOTH sides of the aisle.

I see no point in reading the thing it's not like any good will come of it, just like Obamacare.

It's a peasant revolt that got Trump elected. Are you suggesting the Trump supporters leave the country after their candidate won the election?
