#5 Zero-Care was cobbled together with tendrils going in all administrative directions. Similar to an inoperable brain tumor?

#6 Well, the one thing the Pubs have been the best at is shooting themselves in the foot while the foot was in their mouth and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

#7 They've had decades of Democrats talking about Healthcare and don't even have an alternate plan? Here is a plan:

(1) Repeal Obamacare
(2) Remove any barriers to getting insurance from other states
(3) Anyone with pre-existing conditions that cannot get healthcare can get Medicare no matter what their age.
(4) Fix it so Hospitals can shift non-emergency patients (mostly illegals) out of the emergency room and into urgent care without legal liability and allow patients without insurance to pay in cash.
(5) Streamline the bureaucracy of Medicare and audit and prosecute abuses.

From there things can be tweaked and perfected.

#8 The shock isn't that they are in a position to repeal. The shock is that, given the opportunity, they really don't want to repeal.

I'm not shocked at all. I always figured it was empty rhetoric for fundraising efforts.

The GOPe is fine with the car going over the cliff as long their hands are on the wheel.
