6. Expand the treatment authority of nurse practitioners
7. End state imposed insurance mandates that drive insurance costs up.

This ain't all inclusive either. These ideas are much better than what the Democrats have put forth. These ideas above serve to create an environment for independence, self sufficiency, and dignity for the consumer and taxpayer. The Democrats only build plans that create dependence on the government, and burdens on taxpayers. One thing Democrats cannot allow is people to feel self-sufficient and independant. Hard to keep people shallow, weak, feeble, fearful, and on the government plantation that way.
Nothing new here all these alternatives have been proposed, discussed, and dismissed or ignored.

Whats being overlooked here is that there is much more to this agenda than healthcare.

Its about expanding federal goverments reach and control.

That is what has people so dismayed.
