You said
“That is why do not be surprised that civil disobedence will become more of the norm.”

Agree.

It will be slow to build but it will build

[MrB]

I have one prediction, that pretty much covers it:

“It will get worse”

[vette6387]

“Start over, start fresh, allow pools and allow crossing state lines.”

And most importantly, kick the PI lawyers to the curb.

[MrB]

Interstate insurance competition
Individually tax deductible insurance premiums on catastrophic plans.
Pretax HSAs with tax free inheritable balances
Tort reform.

Healthcare system fixed.

[RipSawyer]

“Liberalism needs to be completely discredited by 2016.”

You cannot discredit it with voters who are not connected to reality. It is astounding how many have no idea how the real world works, many of them may as well go off looking for the Big Rock Candy Mountain or sit in the pumpkin patch waiting for The Great Pumpkin.

I agree, that would fix 99.9% of the problems. That’s pretty much been our answer for years and yet the dems claim we have no alternative plan. What we really need is someone with a big enough soapbox.

People will find that Obamacare’s high-deductible insurance policies just aren’t worth the exorbitant premiums — even after subsidies — and won’t buy. Faced with paying premiums of $3,000 or more a year and carrying a $4,000 annual deductible, millions just won’t see the value in buying the coverage.

Under ObamaCare, I would be out almost $10K before insurance even begins to pay a dime. It's not the delectable so much, but the almost $300/month premium for catastrophic coverage that covers everything under the sun.

Young adults, the people who are supposed to subsidize everyone else, simply wont pay the $300 premium for insurance to cover a prostate exam on the off chance they spend a week in the hospital.

[MrB]

When they say “you have no plan”,
they’re looking at what we present as actually reducing government involvement,
so therefore, it is not a policy or plan as far as they’re concerned.
You’ve heard them say “their plan is ‘you’re on your own’”.
Yes, that’s the plan. And it works when it’s tried.

They also have this ulterior motive underlying all of this,
and it’s why they just can’t fathom the conservative plan,
because it undermines that motive -

increased gov’t control and wealth redistribution.
