The ACA refusing to “fail on its own,” even with years of GOP sabotage piled onto it.
Its failed from the beginning....the whole thing was a lie and an attempt to make healthcare ins a new welfare program to take care of all of Obama's illegal border crashers....
Then it's a damned good thing Trump replaced it with his "beautiful" plan and we all have great health care at a tiny fraction of the cost now.
Whew!
When is it the Federal Govt's job to do that?

When Roe V Wade struck down abortion bans,
this didn't require replacing those laws with better ones.
It's not federal govt job's to do that, but states need to craft their own laws.
Same with striking down bans on gay marriage, that still
leave the responsibility to State legislatures not federal govt to reform laws.
Trump promised to replace Obamacare. He said he had a "beautiful" plan. Where is it, and why are you having such an obtuse problem understanding this?
The solution is not going to come from Trump alone.
The solution will come from all parties providing for their own members
the policies and platforms they have promised.
So if Democrats want health care for all, this means Democrats fulfilling their
campaign promises and platform principles of REFORMING prisons and
criminal justice budgets to convert resources and facilities into
Teaching Hospitals, medical education training and treatment programs
in every district so there is equal and affordable access.
If Republicans keep promising to reform the VA, then their part in health
care reform can focus on Veteran benefits first, then caring for disabled
and elderly, and Catastrophic medical emergencies. And leave the daily
health care and routine medical services to people to choose whichever
"collective cooperative" plan they want to go with that respects their beliefs.
Prochoice advocates who want reproductive care for women can set up and fund those
programs with their taxes. Prolife advocates who don't want any public funds or taxes
going there can set up their own programs to fund and manage under terms they consent to as well.
The solutions will come from the people organized by State and/or by Party
because people have different beliefs about health care they refuse to compromise.
The President cannot dictate or set this up, nor can Congress.
We might be able to reach agreements on how to separate policies and funding
either by State or by Party or a combination of both, where only where all
parties AGREE on policy can that be federally funded where it doesn't
cause "taxation without representation" or "discrimination by creed."

Just because Trump doesn't have the solution
doesn't mean he isn't the key to pulling the best ideas
from all parties to FORM that solution. The Conservatives
who seem to have the best clues are Senator Rand Paul
promoting "associations" for providing health care that respects
free market choice, Sean Hannity and others pushing for
health care COOPERATIVES that reduce the monthly costs
while respecting free market choice and only relegating
"catastrophic" emergencies to the level of federal assistance,
while the Green Party progressives also push for locally
managed health services cooperatives as well.
The Democrats are as much if not more into CENSORING
the Green Progressive solutions because of this insistence on
"running health care through federal govt". This is why the
Socialistic approach clashes, because the politicians keep
pushing this "through" govt instead of developing the structures
and programs independently as locally owned cooperative networks.
If all the parties quit pushing the politics, then maybe we could
bring out the COMMON solution of "health care cooperatives"
that both left and right have been advocating, but this has
been censored because of the politics of "depending on govt."
Whether this means "depending on Democrats to get into office"
or "depending on Trump to push a solution" NEITHER is the solution!
The solution is the PEOPLE taking back control, ownership
and management of health care, and only using govt to set up the
sites in every district and licensing the medical education and practice.
But the actual terms and programs belong to the people to decide,
and then approving govt funding for what each district or state decides,
not govt deciding or dictating for us.
