Do you even know what the Republican plan was at the time? It was the Graham Cassidy plan and it was pretty simple. It took the money from the Obamacare taxes then block granted it back to the states. It let the states choose what health care delivery system they wanted. In other words, it was federalism. You need to be smart enough to realize what might work in California might not work in Maine or vice versa. Under Graham Cassidy if a state wanted to keep Obamacare then it could keep Obamacare. Or if a state wanted a free market approach then it could have a free market approach. Or if a state wanted to try universal coverage they could try universal coverage.

What was also good about Graham Cassidy is that you would have 50 different experiments providing healthcare. We would be able to easily determine what works best and what doesn't. What is low cost and what isn't. What delivers the best care per dollar. So fricking tell me...what is so extreme about that? What is the fricking problem with that?
