They wasted time and money (our money) trying to repeal the ACA over 50 times knowing Pres Obama would veto it,
that shows how stupid they are, doing the same thing over and over and over again with the same results.
You really think they can come up with a plan that is as good as the ACA, I do not.
Be sure to follow the links (health insurance before the ACA):
The US is the “only industrialized nation that relies heavily on a for-profit medical insurance industry to provide basic health care," as Senator
Dianne Feinstein has said, and the Pulitzer Prize–winning Politifact watchdog group has confirmed.

In 2004, employer-sponsored health insurance premiums grew 11.2% to $9,950 for family coverage, and $3,695 for a single person, according to a survey by the
Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Education Trust. The survey also found that 61% of workers were receiving employer sponsored health insurance.

Five years later, Kaiser’s 2009 survey found that employer health insurance premiums were $13,375 for a family and $4,824 for a single person. About 60% of workers were receiving employer sponsored health insurance. Less than half (46%) of employees at small firms with 3 to 9 workers received coverage. As of 2008, the percentage of Americans receiving employer sponsored health insurance had declined for the eighth consecutive year, says the Kaiser Family Foundation.

From 1999 to 2009, Kaiser found that the insurance premiums had climbed 131% or 13.1% per year, and workers’ contribution toward paying that premium jumped 128% or 12.8% per year. In 1999, workers’ average contribution to the premium was $1,543, and in 2009 it was $3,515. For employers, their contribution was $4,247 in 1999 and $9,860 in 2009.

The lower a family's income is, the less likely that they can purchase health insurance, according to 2008 US Census figures. About 14.5% of households with $50,000 to $75,000 in income did not have health insurance. While 24.5% of households with $25,000 or less income went without hehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance_costs_in_the_United_Statesalth insurance.
