Cruz unveils ObamaCare alternative: We see what Cruz is doing here, and it is smart politically, but there is really only one alternative to government control of the health care system. And that is a system in which there is no government control.

Just keep in mind that Obamacare isn't about health, or care. It's about power, government power, pure and simple. Until that fact is accepted by all, there's no possibility of a reasonable discussion.
The Republicans have an opportunity to control the political landscape for a generation or more if they have solid, workable plans ready to replace Obamacare should the SCOTUS gut this Big Government turd. With a real safety net available to those losing their Obamacare insurance, Justices Kennedy and Roberts should be more than willing to hand the Kenyan a loss this time around.
We have the obligation to pressure our Senators and Representatives into finding real solutions that work for the average American. They need to be bombarded with letters, calls, and emails everyday until Obamacare suffers a much needed death....
The administration has No backup plan by design. they want to have Obamacare destroyed so they can have another "Crisis" and all the usual morons can go on TV and talk about how the Republicans Destroyed Obamacare and millions are now going to die in the next few days.
Just watch, they have been playing this same stupid game for six years, and they don't give a shit about anyone's health care, all they care about is power and control and they will lie, cheat and steal their way to get it back.
This will be a crisis that lasts right up till the 2016 election, between the low intelligence/large forehead Oabambots and illegal alien voters they will try and keep control.
You're right, there is no backup plan, but that's because when this fails, it gives them the excuse to foist single payer on us.
Here's another example of government overreach and control of our lives. I got a letter in the mail from the bank today telling me that I would be receiving a new credit card in the mail soon, it's a new Smart Chip Credit Card. Well, I don't want this smart chip, and I called the bank to tell them not to send it because I don't want it. I was informed that I have no choice, so I told the phone drone that I will just smash the chip when I get the card, to which she replied that the card won't work without it. Now, you and I know this is bullshit, because you have no way to read a smart chip when you make an online purchase. I continued my rant asking why they won't listen to their customer's requests, and she told me that this is a ......... wait for it .............. GOVERNMENT MANDATED ITEM!!! My last comment before hanging up was "I should have known Obama was behind this, he just wants to make it easier for ISIS to steal our identities!"
The bank police are going to come for you.... :)
As politics this is acceptable, but the only policy which will work is to repeal the Leviathan in its entirety, then pass new legislation to allow interstate sale of health insurance. Of course, the odds are the RINOs and Dems would combine forces to lard any new legislation with new handouts and mandates, so we are probably screwed.
This sounds like a solid plan. Would like to see what is in it before it passes though.
