I am a Republican. More in fact, Fiscal Constitutional conservative.
Now that thats out of the way.
I hate the ACA. Its overreach by what the government should be doing. No where in the constitution does it say the government is allowed to force law abiding citizens to do something. ACA does exactly that. It forces people to do things against their will. Or they will be forced to pay a fine. Alright, don't down vote me just yet.
Lets repeal the ACA. But I certainly see things that should be quickly made into law.
* Preexisting conditions cannot be denied and should be slightly elevated costs compared to the average user.
* Age 26 under the parents health care plan, fine, but damnit kid, get a job. Do something with yourself.
* Birth Control, yes and no. We should be able to opt out paying for it, especially if it goes against my religion and frankly it does, but I won't stop others from opting in and paying for it.
* Remove the boundries of the state borders. This is regulation. Not allowing companies to work and provide across state lines is ridiculous and again government overreach that could quickly drive down costs.
* Lastly, I want hospital prices published. I want to shop around.
* I am business friendly, but these are common sense laws.
I think EVERY Republican can get behind these thoughts as every other Democrat, but forcing me to pay for it, when I just want to live off the land in some small town somewhere. Complete overreach and strictly unconstitutional.
