(6,440 posts)Sue Lowden, a GOP senatorial candidate from Nevada who actually proposed trading livestock for medical care with a straight face (info taken from the Sparky's List email, where TT also admitted that the guy about to remove his own appendix is a self-portrait).

(30,058 posts)We would have had national health insurance. If they worked as hard on healthcare as they do on abortion this would be solved. If their answer to governing was YES rather than NO, our nation would be doing well.

(6,335 posts)Republican alternatives to Obamacare:
Have faith in God. If you get sick it was meant to be.
Have faith in the Market. If you get insuranceit was meant to be.
Be self-reliant. According to Web M.D., my appendix should be right about here!
Use the emergency room. If you give a fake nameits free!
Trade livestock for medical care. It worked for our grandparents!
Get a Job: In America, health care should be contingent upon employmentas God intended!
Marry someone with insurance. Goldman Sachs has an EXCELLENT plan!
Live in denial. Global warming is a MYTH!. Just like this lump on my neck. Right?
Change the subject. Nevermind health care---have you heard about the Bengazi scandal? It's VERY scandalous!
Support tax cuts for the wealthy. Then health care will trickle down for Everyone!
Be aspirational. I dont have health insurance nowbut if I ever get it, I dont want to lose it because of Obamacare!
Trade health care like any other commodity. You dont expect the government to guarantee you a CADILLAC do you? And who doesnt want a Cadillac?
If you get sick, die. Its easier for everyone. Except you. But you'll be dead.
Inhabit a magical realm where no one ever gets sick. My best friend is an invisible unicorn who poops rainbows.
Sell your internet startup for billions and transfer your consciousness into an indestructible robot body. Works for me. Puny mortals.
