To Answer The Proposal

“No matter how disastrously some policy has turned out, anyone who criticizes it can expect to hear: "But what would you replace it with?" When you put out a fire, what do you replace it with”
Thomas Sowell

Intentional misunderstanding of question.
A policy is created to address a valid issue.
Policy is not synonymous with a fire.
A disastrous policy is using gasoline to put out fire. The replacement is water.

To address the question,
It would behoove all of us to ensure that everyone in this nation is healthy and can make informed decisions.
We have to decide what 'healthy' entails and how we have to decide how we can guarantee that.
The same goes for informed decision making.

The government has proven that it is ill informed about all of the above.
The alternative is for the people to decide what they need.
The alternative is empowerment and community
