The ACA changes weren't added like that. It's a rewrite.well if that's all then go for it.False. There was extensive health care regulation on providers, insurers, and employers - before the ACA.The system of health insurance that actually worked well before the ACA was not done through legislation, it was private business.???how would returning things to how they were (perfectly working) just a few years ago before the disaster ACA was forced on the workers, bring us back decades? seriously, did the passing of the ACA cause some sort of shift in time that changed history too?Replacing the ACA is fine with me.
Killing the ACA, leaving in place no health care coverage system is criminally irresponsible.
That would set us back by a good number of decades, obviously.
When you kill the ACA it doesn't mean some OTHER legislation that was killed suddenly comes back into existence.
That's not how legislation works.
Also, remember that our law, and health care in general has moved on from that, including the edges related to how health care interacts with other law that has also changed.
If we are to get a new system, it's going to have to be designed, written into law, and a transition plan will be required.
Ryan knows that.
BTW: People are very clear about how losing the features of the ACA is NOT what they want. Read the polls. Just going back to what we had before will be seen as a disaster.
nothing has to be brought back, those companies are there, they still have clients buying their product through means other than the ACA, and those companies are going to be more than willing to write a fair policy for anyone that needs or wants one.
Not sure you have a complete grasp on how these things work.
Such regulation has existed for decades - the ACA just added regulation, such as requiring insurers to offer their policies to all (regardless of age, gender, preexisting conditions, etc.)
If the ACA just ADDED regulations, then taking those ADDED regulations away would pretty much leave the industry in the same shape it was when it worked.
Remember how many pages it was? It contains the whole shot - not just changes to what previously existed. From there, there are related changes in other law - budget, for example.
More importantly, the US public wants the features the ACA brought us.
