A principled "small government" alternative would be ... nothing. Their view is that the federal government should have no role in providing health insurance.

- cthalupa 1y agoSure, but that's not actually the position of the GOP or their constituents, or even the pre-ACA situation. The amount of people that actually want the government to have no role in providing health insurance or health care in this country is vanishingly small.
- array_key_first 1y agoWhich is a very nice view, until the federal government has to start getting involved anyway because someone has to scrape the rotting corpses off the streets. Ultimately the health and life of the citizens is one of the most foundational concerns of any nation. You literally can't just ignore it. You have to face it, whether you want to or not.
