One of the issues I can bring a very different perspective to being from Canada. First, I believe everyone should have the right to some form of healthcare, I also believe everyone should have the right to work. Given some ability to provide for themselves and their families. Quite frankly, a strong, booming economy with decent paying jobs and opportunity would make healthcare worries and stress go down significantly.
How this healthcare is offered is the big question, I believe in a multi-tier system. Unless the cost of healthcare goes down significantly and doctors decide to be philanthropists, it's going to cost money, when it comes from the government, it's sure to be overpriced, bloated and destined to fail. Service in Ontario and other provinces has taken a dive of late, long waits for tests, people dying in some cases while waiting, many areas it's impossible to find a family doctor This is the outcome of pressure on a system that cannot sustain itself.
So, Obamacare will be the death knell for socialized healthcare in America due to it's failures. The GOP and Trump has to now continue to hang this plan on the Democrats. As they will go after Trump, but really where can they stand on this? It was THEIR plan! Pelosi promoted it to death with her famous speeches, how does she have any credibility to attack the GOP when her party pushed this failed plan on American taxpayers!?
He has to update the public each month on the rate increases, the monopolies in some states. He has to make those against the repeal and replace to put their hands up and defend Obamacare. Provide their contact information for their local constituents to contact them when their premiums go up (and they will go up and up).
Ultimately, as Trump has stated, Obamacare will fail on it's own of this I have no doubt.
