We are going to have so many Wisconsin's if this stays....The cost, if anyone has even taken the time to check instead of playing the political game) is so prohibitive as to be crazy. This should never have gotten this far...and you folks who want to play politics ought to think about COSTS to do all of this.
The politics of it, as taught to us by Obama, is by hook or crook get this stuff done...health care bill, take the work rule out of welfare, etc and then when someone wants to right that ship, you call them insensitive or inhumane as a matter of fact. This country cannot afford this...not sure how old you folks are but if you are young enough to be around when the bill comes in, you will rue the day. States cannot afford this, and lest you think that it is only Republicans, think again and do some research. This is a cost that will bring most states to their knees and services will be cut to such a degree......always nice to do things,BUT you have to pay for them.
This never should have happened and Obama who had to ...well, we all know what he did to get this passed, even though he had complete control of both house and senate...he is the one to blame.

Bucco, Why would 49 states suddenly decide to set up health care systems which have the positive features of ACA? Your suggestion simply begs the question. Didn't happen in over 200 years, wouldn't happen in another 200. Before the ACA was passed and reaffirmed by the Court, EVERYONE agreed the states were not interested in putting in the effort to set up a decent health care system. Just imagine Texas doing it. The state with the most uninsured. Impossible! Your argument is just as just as much an impossibility today as it has always been.
I have read your many comments about ACA. You have been rather focused on criticizing many of it's features and your general solution is to repeal the entire law. However, despite repeated requests I have yet to read your specifying even a single element of the law which you can DEMONSTRATE needs to be changed, and for which you can offer a constructive revision.
Anyone can SAY that stuff is wrong, unaffordable or unconstitutional. But I'm waiting for you or ANYONE else to show exactly WHAT the problems are, WHY they are, and HOW to fix them, including removing them if there is no alternative.
This is what bothers me most about the current Republican platform. There is only negative talk, not constructive, FEASIBLE suggestions. OK, maybe the candidates can't be constructive because they might lose political points.
But what's stopping you?
