Seems to me, you folks got hired to repeal the ACA, not revise, edit, or tweak it, so...

Repeal the ACA.

Then, once the damned thing is gone, sit down and do the hard word of figuring out a sensible, minimalistic replacement.

But: first things, first...

Repeal the ACA.

I promise you: if you folks do anything other than repeal the ACA, most of you will not have jobs come next election.

So: put some steel in your spines, some brass in your testes, abandon 'repeal and replace' and repeal THEN replace (if necessary).

Now, me, as a self-employed guy livin' close to the bone, what I want from you folks is: If I, in Louisiana, find a provider in Alaska who offers what I want, at the right price, make it so I can get my insurance from that provider.

That's it, that's all...stop tryin' to give me the moon...just get outta my way so I can shoot for it myself. H. Quirk
