Groan.

I agree. They are facing reality, and you have to wonder if they actually ask their constituents to rank what it is they don't like about Obamacare. And not constituents that aren't on Obamacare, but the actual users of it. I think they would find that the biggest complaint is the same one that all of us have. Cost. Why has healthcare become so expensive? Do the high deductibles make sense?

As for Paul Ryan, all I can say is that he's not liked or trusted by Trumpists. I sighed relief yesterday when Trump indicated things were going to move more slowly on that issue than had been expected.

Many are saying that Obamacare is failing on its own, so I guess that puts some pressure on to do something. Premiums are going up 67% in Minnesota, and a huge number of counties will only have one insurer to select from are a couple of things I read this week.

What do you think would be a good approach? Or do you think it should be left alone? Do you have any quarrels with your policy other than the cost? I remember back when you were upset at being forced off your previous policy.
