Agree, and I think it will retain the ability for kids (made unemployable by the Obamaeconomy) to stay on their parents insuarance and prohibit denial of coverabe based on pre-existing conditions, two of the few popular features of Obamacare. Keeping them doesn’t make a big difference and all hell would break loose if they dropped them.
People can wish and hope and cite the Constitution all they want but “replace” will happen, there is no doubt about it as a political reality. The discussion should be about what constitutes a viable alternative, because the Repubicans and Trump will absolutely “own this”.
As long as that provision is in law, we're no longer talking about "insurance". We're talking about a welfare plan. This problem was thoroughly hashed out prior to Nazi Pelousy shoving 0bamacare down our throats.
