. . . football, subject to dickering over cost, or political rationing, or even any sort of political dogma is nothing more than a testament to how meaningfully screwed up we are as a country.

We have the best healthcare technology.  We have the best healthcare practitioners.  We have the best healthcare training system.  We have the best ability to deliver healthcare.

We should just make it available.  We should just DO healthcare for all Americans, as best we can.  Make it priority #1.  It makes sense.

THEN, get to the other stuff.  THEN figure out how much money is leftover and what to do with it.

WHETHER someone can have access to the best healthcare America has to offer should NOT BE A QUESTION for any American.  There is simply no good or legitimate argument to the contrary.  That's why, at this moment, the GOP looks like a bunch of evil fools, and it is fair to suspect and impose just about any evil motive you can think of upon this effort to repeal Obamacare.

Simple.
