22. Repeal is certainly not the answer.

This is so much better than nothing. I know. It has saved my life, and it's saving the life of my best friend who was just diagnosed with cancer. We are on the pre-existing insurance plan.

As it stands, the states can come up with their own plans as long as they meet or exceed the existing program. Vermont has passed single-payer. California has one on the table--California OneCare. This is how we will implement single payer, and it will be improved upon as we go along. Canada did not do it all at once, it happened province by province.

When you have a country with a legistlative branch so firmly against it, and corporate influence and control of our election process so firmly ingrained, there is no other way to achieve this. If you repeal it, it is gone. End of story. We will be back where we started.
