1. I had the republican plan. I was not impressed

with hurry up and die so I dropped it and went with Obamacare and bought insurance.

2. Obamacare IS the Repubican healthcare plan (with some tweaks).

The Heritage Foundation dreamed it up, Romney enacted a variant in Mass, and the Republicans disavowed it when Obama picked it up.

3. Well it's ours now and not theirs. They don't want it and for now it's all we got.

Hopefully, we can do better at some point. It is helping a lot of people.

4. I'm not particularly proud of owning something Republican built.

Yeah it's better, but a shit sandwich with a packet of mustard on the side is still just a shit sandwich.

6. The Heritage Foundation's plan looks nothing like ACA.

They're not even remotely comparable.

7. But it is remarkably similar to Richard Nixon's

9. And how many decades ago was that? The country made a sharp right turn after

the break-up of the Soviet Union.

11. Yep.

We've progressed all the way to 1974.

10. And was the proposed plan under the two leading candidates.

And hell the mandated employer plan aspect of Nixon's plan keeps getting pushed back under the ACA.

8. Yeah, right. And that's why they all voted against it.

You're living in the past. It's not 1960 anymore.
