Americans uninsured. i dont know what to do about this. i like -- im a little mad at the republicans, too, that after four years they have not reached a consensus on what the alternative should be. paul ryan outlined his budget today and they are repealing obamacare. im fine with that but i personally believe in individual choice, and that would be healthcare savings accounts. i think thats the answer that allows portability and incentivizes people to get checkups every year. it allows you to ta...
