Well, good for you on your astuteness on that company health policy. I think the AFCA can work for most people. We did, do, have a problem with the current system with the emergecy room being the resort for treatment for poor people. It is an inefficient way to deliver care and costs way too much. (If we are not going to just let people perish.) Also older pre--medicare people were being priced out of the individual markets if they didn't have access to employer coverage. Obamcare addresses those problems. I do think though that since the AFCA was sold to us under the guise of letting us keep the insurance we were happy with that there ought to be a way to in fact let that happen. Whether that's a tweak, or a major fix I don't know at this point, but it is a point that I feel needs to be addressed in order for the AFCA, and Democratic control of the Senate, to survive politically.
