Abolish, but DO NOT REPLACE Obamacare!

To replace, fix, or otherwise modify the Obama Socialized Health Insurance Tax, is to convince us Conservative voters that you sorry Senate Republican politicians have learned NOTHING from the disaster of the US Federal Government trying to Nationalize an industry.

The line in the sand has been drawn, Senators Cruz and Lee, step across it and you two will be just like all of the other sorry cave-in RINOs: nothing other than Democrat’s Republicans.

No, that's not what's going on here. I believe Cruz is alluding to replacing it with common-sense, free-market solutions. We've all been exposed to Obamacare now in all of its naked, ugly glory, and the public realizes that it's a socialist disaster. It's time to allow the free-market to rule.

Hold on now. Perhaps you should just wait and see what’s up before you go assuming anything. Cruz talked about letting companies compete across state lines,,,doesn’t sound very socialized to me. He may mean ‘replace’ as in ‘provide an alternative to’...Do you really think Cruz is going to push socialized anything?

Marked for future reference.

The first time that Ted Cruz has been labeled a potential RINO.

Having watched two presidential cycles roll out on FR, I have a strong hunch that it won't be the last.

Repeal and replace—with free enterprise. Opening up the insurance markets nationwide is a good first step.

You still need an alternative, otherwise we're back to square 1 with the libs pushing "we've got to do something!" line.

An alternative plan doesn't have to be a big-government program, though, and what Cruz is proposing is going back to the status quo ante and from there, relaxing some of the previously existing federal regulations that has hindered the free market, such as the prohibition on policies offered across state lines.
