Love those conservatives.
What is there not to love them? They got the deep pockets. They gotmy sister Eileen, oops, Sarah Rah-Rah Sis-Boom Pah Palin. They got Abraham Lincon. They got Ronald reagan. They got John Boehner. They got Sousa, oops, Dilip D'Souza. They got TV Preachers, oops, Media Moguls like Rupert Murdoch. They got babes and babes in the woods, oops, in the wooden hot water bottles, oops, battles, oops, hot tubs. Hubba-Hubba, oops, Rubba-Rabbi, oops, Rubba-Bathe in, oops, with babes with bouncy boobs in wooden hot tubba. They got the Devil, oops, Lord with them. They got looks, charm and "Bam-bam-Thank-ye-Mam" style front and center Superbowl tickets, oops, Sky auditoriums. All paid for for the next Millennium, oops, forever and ever and one day. They got it made in the shade, oops, sun. They make money, "hands over fists" while the Republican sun shines in the baby blue Republican franchise called Skype, oops, sky.

I have the book and its a good read although to the best of my memory right now I did disagree with some of the alternatives as I ususally do with libertarian and conservative think tank writers.
I think the best alternative nationally is to get the federal government totally out of health care except for taking care of the miltary out in the field and out to sea.
Even those in the miltary should get a medical plan voucher when on base.
Since the federal medicare program is unconstitutional seniors and the diabled should be given a cash bonus on their monthly social security check.
The federal government would also fund high risk pools co-ops owned by the members which can not charge more for premiums than the cash bonus.
If the membership approves the co-ops will be allowed to have members who do not get a social security check but no part of their cost will be paid by the federal government other than US miltary veterns, federal employees , those with black lung and American Indians.
Federal funding with come from a tax on state governments based on the number of people in the state.
Each state will decide how to come up with the federal revenue.
Each state will also be loowed to opt out for the residence of the state but even those state governments that opt out will be required to send their per capta share to the federal government for those states that do not opt out.
I think even Florida which as the highest percentage of senior population will opt out and find a superior alternative.

You ought to read my brief (and inexpensive) book on Kindle,

"America's Highest Ground: The Constitution on Legal Tender".

By way of a brief biography: I am 63 and most recently taught physics for over a decade.
