Republicans have Obamacare replacement

[Pressing-On]

Republicans have an Obamacare replacement. Economists will love it, real people won’t.

1. Republican Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) released Thursday what is arguably the most complete Obamacare replacement plan offered by their party to date. It is a piece of legislation that, like the Affordable Care Act, aims to increase access to health care and drive down costs.

2. The replacement plan has structural similarities to Obamacare. It relies on a concept that health economist Jon Gruber describes as a 'three-legged stool' of health reform.

Not sure if this is the same plan that Dr. Ben Carson was referring to.

Sigh...I HATE weeding a garden.

hmm, ya, me too--that's why we have gone the 'permaculture' direction; no weeding. after install, no digging. no cultivation really, period. doesn't allow for every veggie or herb one may desire, of course, but vastly reduces workload.

hmm. i'm really just parroting Geoff Lawton here, but the idea is to overplant, then chop and drop to build soil, soil improves a bit each year, approx 10% of plantings remain at 5 years. He also has similar urban applications http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...%20design&sm=1

no weeding, no turning soil, no pests in any numbers. builds awesome soil.
