(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a repeal-and-replace advocate, says he wants to expand the number of people who get health insurance at a cheaper price.

“But I would do it through freedom of choice,” Paul told “Fox News Sunday.” I would do it through the marketplace, buying groups across state lines, and letting people save more money in HSAs.

“And I think the problem with Republicans now if they have insufficient confidence in what made America great. That's capitalism, freedom of choice, competition.”

We definitely know what made it bad. It’s spineless corrupt politicians!

They break everything then act like heroes when they try to fix it. They all suck!

At least one of those choices needs to be the ability to opt out of this scam without penalty.

I think Rand needs to differentiate what he means by "republicans" There are two distinct and horizontally opposed versions of "republican.

there is the republican voter (who is republican by the intended ideals) AND THEN THERES THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN ( who is republican because it was the only slot open, all the democrat voting blocks were taken).

the Republican political elites are just the same as the democrat politicians and neither elitist group has a grip on reality, or give a rats behind about what makes America Great they are just greedy gangsters, all they care about is their power and greed and how to please their lobbyist constituents, The poor masses in the streets are just useful idiots to them, healthcare is a perfect example to make that case

Senator, Paul is 100% correct and the GOP has no fortitude as they have become the opposition to MAGA.

The GOP was a waste of time and money..Trump is proving it everyday....Maybe they will wake up despite themselves..

Time for a third party...Trump can take the best of the GOP and what few are left in the rat party..

The people are what made America great. Their morality and work ethics....love of family, love of God, love of country. Their bravery...

Capitalism is just a system of monetary growth....nothing more.

I am mystified by the lack of knowledge by the vast majority of the current FReepers.

Capitalism, private property rights are what allow Moral people with a Work ethic to create wealth out of nothing

Yes indeed Well said, Sen. Paul.

Absolutely correct. Thank you, Rand. Few Republicans believe in the free market; like the Dims, they believe in Big Government and dispensing money confiscated from the citizenry in the form of taxes.

What made America great was a FREE an unencumbered low taxed citizen without GOVERNMENT interference. New ideas were created new jobs look at what happened in the 1920s when the republican president did just that,

Republicans in office are generally Democrats in R jerseys, they have no clue about what makes America great.
