Simple solution is to simply repeal Obamacare.

Vote on replacing it later.

And leave 20 million uninsured in the process?

And just screw the poor and the sick, right?

On second thought, yeah, that sounds exactly like Republican conservatism.

You have to understand that the billionaire Koch bros. have invested heavily in the healthcare industry, and they want a return on their investment.

This is so funny, you should consider a stand-up comedian career in Vegas.

They'll just do as they've always done, go to the emergency room and not pay the bill.

If you had the choice between a sick body and a robust soul... or, a robust body but a sickly soul, which do choose?

I'm going to go with the former.

As for the topic of the thread, this was in response from Trump's threat that a no vote would mean the establishment taking any funding you received and giving it to an opponent in the next election. Now a no vote will have money to get re-elected.

Let's steer the conversation back to the OP, and the fact that Republicans are easily bought and controlled. I think Eladar deliberately threw in a stupid idea just to disract from Reps being controlled by money.

You are an idiot if you think that all politicians are not bought and controlled.

OK, not all just all establishment types.

Most Republicans and a vast majority of Democrats.

I'd agree, except for the fact that Trump promised to "drain the swamp" only to pass an executive order deregulating Wall Street...because his "friends" can't "borrow money". This means, clearly, Trump is an establishment type; this also means, by your own definition of "establishment type", that Trump is "bought and controlled".
