Give individuals the right to write off payment for health care. people leaving obamacare, its already crushing itself under its own weight as people jump because of high premiums, soaring costs, the doctor pool shortage. people leave the program and you leave about 3 million people who have some really serious, catastrophic problems and you can shift them to medicare and call it a day and you havent had to kick anybody off anything or dismantle obamacare. it will fumble -- it will crumble under...
