Then we can sift the the smoking wreckage and build up a NEW EXCEPTIONAL SOCIETY out of ashes and burnt ground.

Or we could do the sensible thing and agree that health is a wise general welfare thing and all work together to make it better? Maybe accept that paying taxes is a good thing, and mindlessly reducing taxes is a boneheaded race to dystopia?

I never said I wanted the Republican Congress to blow it up. I said I wanted them to do nothing. Let's see where this version goes, who knows, maybe it will become a great success? ROTFMOL

Health is a wise and desired thing, but it should not be a national entitlement. It should be run by the individual states, and maybe partially underwritten by the Fed. That is as far as I would be willing to fund. I mean, hell, planned parenthood is being funded by the fed, I suppose that some kind of men's health network could be funded also.
