Donald Trump’s campaign promise to repeal and replace Obamacare helped him garner the support of Republicans in Washington, D.C., who have repeatedly vowed to shut down President Barack Obama’s major health care overhaul ever since it passed in 2010 without a single Republican vote.

    Maybe now the GOP will do their job and fix it. The ACA was originally their idea, conceived at the Heritage Foundation, their own conservative think tank.

    ‘The ACA (ObamaCare) reduces federal deficits $1.5 T+’-CBO. BHO44 delivered HC to U.S. record 90% HC insured, while ‘the ACA decreases expected Medicare costs $1 T+’-CBO. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a70b3291560cf9c3cd21dbca66ca8cb79296f82e2ada833802891663f71dd093.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4dc007c5cb78c242340d17ebc90e93e98ba0308f25eb2e188add1fe66cb481e3.jpg

    Do not listen to anyone in the gop, the bubble beltway crowd or anyone who thinks they know what is going to happen…The only thing we need to know about GOP is, They are going to take apart all that is good, all that works for we the people, all that protects us from the very people who will be demolishing our sometimes functioning government, all for the benefit of the few…That IS THE TRUTH of it…this was their promise…this is what they campaigned on…

    Stupid repukes totally deserve a hard, tough lesson when their GOP assholes in Congress and Maggot Trump successfully repeal Obamacare…unfortunately, non-repukes will suffer as well.

    So, in this terribly argumentative country, 74% of Republicans agree that Obamacare is a good thing… and that counts as “Divided.” It’s weird how the English language has morphed over the years.

    Too many RINOs see the writing on the wall, a lot of GOP huffing and puffing but their train will never leave the station

    Government is about half the health insurance market with Medicare, Medicaid and the VA. This is why the health insurance market is not functioning like a normal market in any other industry.

    Get government out of the health insurance business as much as possible. Limit them to limited regulation and financial support for health insurance to those who need it.

    Obamacare, Medicaid, Medicare and VA hospitals should be phased out. People under these programs and those who are financially below the poverty level should be given a yearly amount that they could use to purchase health insurance.

    Keep the federal regulation stating that insurance companies have to cover pre-existing conditions as long as the person had previous insurance.
    Allow people to purchase insurance from any state. Deregulate state health insurance markets. Unhinge medical insurance from employers in the tax code.

    Getting government out and increasing competition in this way will lower health insurance costs. It cuts the bureaucracy costs, cuts the fraud costs and improves competition and quality of care.

    The ACA reduces federal deficits $2.5 T+ ! And increased HC.gov competition, saves lives at the lowest HC price increases in decades, plus U.S. record 90% HC insured today. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7778a692f97f0d511978528a1041cea2a8c690b65d66581bd3772e80f340c1b7.png
