As for healthcare, I'd scrap Obamacare and expand Medicaid to cover the uninsured whose employer doesn't provide benefits.  Many more companies would have the courage to take the risk and cover their employees if Obamacare ceased to exist.  Singles making less than $25,000 a year and couples making less than $50,000 would qualify.  Children of uninsured parents would qualify for SCHIP until the age of 18.  You may remain on your parents' insurance until the age of 24.  How much expansion to what Medicaid actually covers is debatable. Illegal immigrants can participate in the system with a don't ask, don't tell policy.  Gays should be allowed to be on their partner's insurance too.  Now the debate comes regarding how much should Medicaid cover?  It could be expanded a great deal with higher taxes on the wealthy.  I propose a 50% federal tax bracket on those making over $217,000 annually.  Most of us will pay much less. If it saves lives then it's worth it.  We have a responsibility and it begins with dismantling Obamacare yes, but it does not end there.  Let's help each other out.
