This is how the ACA was created: To say it was easy it wasn't.

[Penelope]

its time the GOP quit fighting it and start to accept it and help make it better. The GOP is only after the tax cut for the wealthy.

President Obama discuss the ACA at Blair House in Washington, DC.

“Now is the time when Republicans have to go ahead and show their cards,” he said. “If in fact they have a program that would genuinely work better, and they want to call it whatever they want — they can call it Trumpcare or McConnellcare or Ryancare — if it actually works, I will be the first one to say, ‘Great; you should have told me that in 2009. I asked.’”

They are rich and save big bucks on tax, but do they really notice, I doubt it. Has it made their style of living different, no. They just hate taxes and want limited gov involvement.

Well if the GOP have their way, you best get insurance before you get a condition. It will go back tot he way it was, and it was not good.

Trump has said all along the two components of ACA he wants to preserve are pre-existing conditions and keeping children under family plans until they are 26.

The fundamental problem that Liberals ignore is the AFFORDABLE Care Act doesn't address costs. Isn't that bizarre? The ACA resulted in an enormous healthcare expansion to uncovered people. OK that's great except for one thing. At the same time millions got government subsidized health insurance, the premiums skyrocketed. That is not a sustainable formula. The ACA should have been named the 'Unaffordable Healthcare Expansion'. Trump is replacing the ACA because it is fatally flawed and will bankrupt the US if it isn't replaced.

There's only one thing that informs or influences the Koch's, drumpf's and other 1%ers -- using the poor to put more money in their own pockets.

That's what drumpf/LyinRyan notCare would do and that's why the right wants it.

RWNJs just do as they're told so, of course, they want it too.

Read the fine print, it will be up to the states. No its not bankrupting the US, just another lie from the GOP.

An applicable State authority may provide for the application of this subsection on a service-area-specific basis.



Now if this comes to pass, I guess an insurance company can only insure people in an area, and also they might just not insure, all genetic diseases , or all CVA patients. You can bet your butt , the states that have not expanded Medicaid now, like Texas, will not require insurers to insure anyone, its up to the state.

 

[Penelope]

Do you know what "if required " means, esp when the states are GOP controlled?? The GOP has never done anything good for the working poor, NEVER.
