Does that mean I should stop trying to get there? Can we stop with the huge problems with hypothetical realities. Just like stupid Joe the plumber who was worried about a marginal tax bracket increase for a business he didn't even own and didn't know difference between net and gross revenue.
If Your Daddy really does brig back all these jobs nobody is going to be wanting one without healthcare, so mayb she should try to figure out a way to offer better benefits to attract better employees.

And besides this is all moot discussion anyway. Daddy had is new ACA replacement ready for day one right? Better and cheaper and covering everyone beautifully? You guys bought that lie too.
Obamacare was a lie also. So the real question is what is the answer?

I say we go back to being a Christian nation perhaps. A Christian nation would make sure it's citizens had their basic needs met like health care. A Christian nation wouldn't be spread around the world killing others for the sake of the dollar.

I find it odd how many claim the US is a Christian nation but are so bitter and hateful towards others.

I will say, as a Christian, I do find it odd how the supposed super Jesus loving rabid right are also the ones who are so ardent about letting the poor and suffering die in the streets. Quite true to the teachings of Jesus. I did enjoy the parable of the pre-existing condition from the Gospels..

So I'm sure she's angry at the right who had 6 plus years to work to fix issues with the law but sat around and grandstanded instead of governing? And I'm sure she's upset that Daddy's beautiful day 1 replacement is now pushed back to 2018 at the earliest?im sure she's angry at both sides. And again Bernie is the wrong guy to go after, in his world healthcare is not something employers have to worry about.

Could that lady pool resources with other hair salons for example, or just other small businesses and then negotiate better prices from insurers, as they would be a bigger block of customer?

Anyone suppose Jesus would advocate for a pagan state healthcare system run by a modern day ceasar?

Lol, stop pretending you are some big shot. You're just another shopkeeper that's just gum on the bottom of Trump's shoe just like the rest of us
