There are a few things we should keep. Covering pre-existing conditions and standardized forms come to mind.

Pre existing conditions....yes, but doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have to pay more for those pre existing conditions.

Ditch "pre-existing conditions." They aren't insurance!!! They're like buying a big home insurance policy AFTER the twister hits. Instead let insurance companies charge a reasonably higher fee for someone who hasn't maintained coverage (other than brief breaks consistent with shifting plans) and/or allow them to limit coverage for recent problems for some period of time. Children born to covered parents start out covered. Under ObamaCare EVERYONE was supposed to have coverage. Those who were paying the penalty instead can be presumed NOT to currently have any pre-existing condition that's worth whining about, or they would have taken Obama's offer to be covered. Make high deductible catastrophic coverage for the healthy young affordable, yet price in having at least that covers the possibility of becoming an expensive insuree in the future so having that minimalist coverage protects you from future "pre-existing condition" issues.

Ditch the Medicaid expansions. 2/3 of those newly covered under ObummerCare were in the Medicaid expansions and reportedly 2/3 of THEM had been eligible for Medicaid beforehand, just hadn't signed up. Relatively few people will be cut off and studies have shown Medicaid does NOT save lives or improve people's health, it just makes them less nervous. Those people are losing little or no REAL value, as compared to the many who've lost their doctors, their insurance and/or seen their health expenses sky rocket in the name of offering pittances to Obama voters. If some states want to offer more Medicaid AT THEIR OWN COST and tax their own voters for it they certainly may. Don't make the rest of us subsidize them. We're sick and tired of it.
