Quick Reflection on Obamacare 2.0 and Free Markets

Last night yielded a good deal of frustration. As I continued to hear reports from house Republicans concerning Obamacare 2.0/RINOcare. For some reason they think that helping the healthcare and insurance ndustries along promotes the free market. Last I checked, the free market is defined by its lack of government intervention. It also bothers me how they keep on saying how 2.0 is the conservative solution to obamacare. I have learned that when somebody touts how conservative they are or how something else is, it probably isn't at all (i.e. John McCain 2008). If you are confident that something is  conservative, be transparent with the details and allow us to make the decision judging whether it is conservative or not. We'll see what happens with the healthcare mess the Republicans are adding to. But in case anyone was wondering, free market means lack of government intervention; not creative ways to subsidize and make purchasing "easier" for low income earners.
