    Given the level of disagreement here on Ricochet on what “repeal” would look like, I didn’t see how the Republicans in Congress could possibly come up with a plan. (Those who thought repeal meant repeal and nothing more were already a tiny minority.)

    The plan wasn’t that hard to create from a conservative perspective. Question 1: Should government be managing health care delivery or only regulating the insurance market? Answer: Only regulating this insurance market. Question 2: Should the states continue to regulate the insurance market or would a national marketplace best serve the interests of patients and practitioners? Answer: A national market place. Question 3: Should private insurers be required to include pre-existing conditions in the pool of maladies covered or should government provide a Medicare/Medicaid pool for such adversely selected claims? Answer: Government pool (since insurance cannot be mandated for all). Question 4: Should Government pool be funded as a general obligation or a fee for service program? Answer: General obligation (since insurance cannot be mandated for all).

    Those are all good questions but as a conservative, I am dead set against your answer to Question 2.

    A national mess was created in WW2.

    Fair point, @thereticulator, and very important one because if you choose state regulation then you just repeal ACA straight up. Right now we have the worst of both worlds because of overlapping state and federal regulation. I think there is a compelling argument that consumer choice and low prices would be enhanced by a national marketplace, but I understand that if you are going to preserve state authority then you may not want to do it.
