Dick Morris makes 4 great points regarding a post ObamaCare response but # 5 is the most important.

What we have here is a timely article dealing with a post Obamacare response. The article is of Dick Morris authorship , well worth some consideration. He prioritizes the notions of restore, defeat, defund, and repeal. Although he speaks of the need for a Republican alternative, he left off the word "replace." It is our opinion that if the GOP does not make "replace" the highest priority, what election gains we make in the coming mid-term will be lost and perhaps] gone forever. We need a well stated plan that defines "replace," one that demonstrably keeps cost increases to a minimum, perhaps tied to the rate of [real] inflation in some way. Has anyone thought to pressure a free insurance industry into dealing with the problem on its own and in conference with all independent insurance entities ? The editor and his wife spent in excess of $ 11,000 on health insurance, last year --- two thousand more than our expenditure for our home. Our combined income is fixed putting us in the precarious position of having to make healthcare choices that will save money but cost each of us in terms of our continuing health. There are millions of us in the same circumstance. ObamaCare does not solve that problem and it borders on criminal to suggest otherwise -- jds

Dick Morris writes :

Let’s begin our reaction to the passage of ObamaCare by remembering Winston Churchill’s famous formulation with which he introduced his waar memoirs:

In defeat: defiance

In war: resolution

In victory: magnanimity

In peace: good will

Now is the time for defiance! Here’s what we must do:

1. Restore the Medicare cuts mandated in this bill. Block the reduction of physicians’ fees by 21 percent scheduled to take effect this fall. Override the cuts in Medicare that require annual approval by Congress. Challenge the Democrats over each and every cut. Try to peel away enough votes to stop the cuts from driving doctors and hospitals to refuse to take Medicare patients.

2. Defeat the Democrats in the 2010 election! Start with the traitors who voted no in November and then switched to a shameful yes when it counted in March. Then go on to win the open seats in the House and Senate. And then fight to replace as many Democrats as possible. Remember: Any Democrat who voted no would have voted yes if they had needed his or her vote. The only way to repeal ObamaCare is to vote Republican.

3. Defund. Once we get the majority in both chambers, defund appropriations for the ObamaCare program. The bill passed by the Congress and signed by the president is simply an authorization measure. Funds must be appropriated for it each year by Congress. Through zero-funding these changes, we can cripple them before they take full effect.

4. Repeal. And, once we defeat Barack Obama, we need to proceed to repeal this disastrous plan before it can ruin our healthcare system. Then we must replace it with a Republican alternative that relies on the marketplace, tax incentives and individual responsibility to provide healthcare to all Americans. . . . . . . .

The Democratic victory on ObamaCare will prove the most expensive in the party’s history. It will lead to the eradication of their majority, the defeat of more than 50 of their congressmen, the switch of Senate control and Republican domination for decades. And, in the end, it will have done nothing to improve healthcare. But, fortunately, we can win the 2010 election to stop it from doing much damage.
