If breaking down barriers from purchasing insurance from another state helps that, then I am more than happy to see that passed. I'm also cool with reasonable tort reform as a way to bring down costs. Doctors are passing those astronomical malpractice insurance rates on to us. Let's try to bring costs like that down.

But, I also have to exist in reality. Obamacare is here to stay and there is no amount of ideological posturing that can change that fact. Fixing it is the only viable alternative. So, let's focus on what we can do to make it work for everyone as best as it possibly can.


Yeah, I kind of figured you weren't a libertarian anymore.
