TAKE TWO ASPIRIN AND DON'T CALL IN THE MORNING

Republicans have announced that if they win enough seats this coming November, that they will repeal the recently passed health care reform bill and come up with a plan of their own.

WTF?

If you remember, their competing plan to the one presented (and eventually passed by the Democratic majority) would cover 3 Million more people by 2019, as compared to the nearly 33 Million under the current law as it stands today. So you're to going to tell 30 Million people "sorry, but this isn't personal, it's politics?"

WOW.

It amazes that anyone would think that this is a good idea. President Bush repealed the environmental laws enacted by President Clinton. When elected, President Obama repealed the President Bush repeals of those laws (among others). So is it going to be the job of each new incoming administration to just repeal the laws and erase the work completed by the previous administration?

I'm sorry, I thought the role of government was to take care of it's citizens, but I guess I'm just being naive.
