How hard can it be to repeal Obamacare?

A GOP Congress passed a repeal in 2016, but of course Obama repealed the attempt. But now that they’re in charge with a Republican president, they can’t get it done?

Seriously? Just dust off and re-submit one of the old attempts, idiots!

What, worried about people losing their healthcare? Why? Just take those IRS agents hired to enforce O’care mandates, and use ’em to shut down waste, abuse and fraud.

Medicare waste-abuse-fraud in 2015 totaled over $60 billion; Medicaid was even worse in 2016, where an expected 12% of total spending would be wasted – $140 billion.

If, and it’s a big if, there really would be 22 million Americans without healthcare when a repeal of Obamacare was by some miracle passed, $200 billion recovered pays the tab.

That would be enough for EVERY one of the uninsured to have subsidized plans, with a big amount left over to give very generous incentive bonuses for effective IRS trackers.

(And if you want more, turn those trackers loose on an unpaid tax-cheat problem, which amounts to a staggering $400+ billion per year…think some of that would help out?)

Finally, let free-market principles work their magic at reducing costs and out-of-pocket payments/deductibles…get out of the way, let the most effective economic engine work.

It ain’t rocket science people.

And, hey, if they still can’t get it done, force your Congressman and staff to use the only healthcare up to recently that IS government controlled – the VA healthcare system.

Maybe then they’ll see why a government healthcare system is not a good idea.

But hey…a leadership that allows 15% ($600bn) of our total annual budget to be lost to Medicaid/Medicare and IRS waste-abuse-fraud-dodging isn’t ‘leading’…it’s abusing.

A corporate CEO would be summarily fired for such negligence.

We re-elect ’em.
