you are breathtakingly ignorant or just basically making stuff up pretty much par far the course for Trump supporters you are actually trying to claim that millions of people who didn't have healthcare before the ACA and now do are worse off... wow I guess that's why all these people have been flooding townhalls yelling at their reps to not kill their health insurance And of course many of these voters are Trump supporters who didn't know the ACA and Obamacare was the same thing With AHCA, premiums are estimated to INCREASE by at least 30% w/out mandate. Subsidies to DECREASE by 36%. Assistance w co-pays/deducts DECREASE by (well) 100%

There are some things I question about the current process of "Repeal and Replace." Like: Why is it so important to Republicans that Obamacare be repealed and replaced? Is that once again, politics? Isn't the objective to develop a better system?.....regardless of whether Obamacare is repealed and replaced or just fixed. Who is actually developing the legislation? Hopefully it's not the politicians. I'd like to see a thorough study made with particular emphasis on the overall health care system before an insurance system is developed. I know, I'm dreaming. It seems like a knee-jerk reaction (AHCS) to a knee-jerk system (ACA). I think the odds of a really comprehensive solution to health care in this country are pretty slim......just going to end up being another political donnybrook.
