In my opinion all utilities and infrastructure should be run by the government and the Republicans are on the wrong side about that. And that is NOT socialism, it's the necessary job of government. I have to admit that deregulating the phone company allowed for free market innovations we might not otherwise have seen, but the airlines should not have been deregulated, and there should have been other solutions developed for the mentally ill than turning them out on the streets.
However, education and other social institutions should not be run by government because they are about freedom of thought and if you leave them up to government we'll be run by the idiot leftists. Oh wait....

Re: Newest Senate proposal
The problem Republicans are facing is that their effort to repeal the ACA was never about helping Americans get affordable health care. It has always been about politics, an effort to block Obama at every turn and remove any trace of his legacy.
Oh nonsense. I don't understand a lot about the economic side of things but what i'm hearing on conservative radio is that Obamacare financed health care for the poor at such a high premium for the middle class they couldn't afford it. The solutions being proposed are worse, however, by everybody's standards, nobody likes any of it. No idea where all this is going to end up. I haven't needed a lot of medical care fortunately but I've got Medicare plus Medicaid so I haven't had to think about what it costs. People are still paying for Obamacare though.
