The conversation I\u2019d like to hear . . . .<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m losing my health insurance because of Obama-care. You\u2019re a Republican Congressman, what are you going to do about it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? Why not? Don\u2019t you care about people?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, I care; but Obama-care is the law of the land, passed by Democrats, implemented by Democrats, enforced by Democrats. As long as Obama-care is the law of the land, you\u2019re sunk.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t you fix Obama-care to let me keep my policy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid not. The only way to fix the problem is to junk the entire plan and start over. All of us Republicans support repealing Obama-care so you can keep your insurance but Democrats in Congress and the President agree they won\u2019t let us solve the problem. The President and all his Democrats insist that you must lose your insurance policy, pay more for a replacement policy, and probably lose your doctor, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
