What is wrong with just repeal only Obamacare? Why is that so hard? I thought that was the platform Republicans ran on to repeal Obamacare in 2016?

We now have a shortage of Doctors too because of it. Gee I wonder why?

I wish Rand Paul would write a bill he will support. Let’s see what it looks like.

They would rather pay insurance companies 59 Billion Dollars in direct payments. Insuerers have never resuscitated a patient, given meds, consoled a family member. They have denied care, restricted care, told doctors how little care they could give your wife, husband, son, daughter, mom or dad.. So why bail them out? #insurance is not healthcare.

RyanCare still leaves in place 99.9% of obamacare.

nothing to bring down cost of insurance or even more importantly, cost of health care itself, since both parties are totally bought out by drug and insurance companies, and healthcare and medication costs are still going to be through the roof.

nothing about competition, either in insurance or healthcare.

nothing to rein in obscene drug prices.

nothing about insurance across state borders.

nothing about insurance companies selling cheap catastrophic insurance, or any other policies they so desire, as long as legal and not fraudulent.

nothing about eliminating obamacare mandates that make insurance unaffordable.

RepublicanCare is a sick joke.

they’d be WAY better off to pass no bill at all and let kommiecare collapse in a year, and THEN they’d have a universal mandate to actually repeal and replace.

Actually Trump ran on “repeal and replace”, and promised a “great play” that would “take care of everybody”. The big problem is Obamacare did what it was supposed to do, it destroyed what millions of Americans already had through work. Simply repealing won’t turn back the clock and will leave those folks who have been victimized once already, many with pre-existing conditions, in the lurch. That’s why Trump emphasized his “great plan”. Just repealing would be a betrayal of those voters, and probably make Trump a one term president.

It’s easy to say “just repeal it” when you don’t have to deal with the consequences.

That should be “great plan”, not “great play”, though I expect you figured that out.

BTTT.

Repeal it. Enact a bill to allow insurance sales across state lines. Then move to a tax cut bill.

People saying repeal and don’t replace were not paying attention to the campaign season. Trump never said repeal without saying replace also.

Something better pass or the agenda is dead. No tax cuts, no senate next year etc. The free market has been out of healthcare for fifty years hard to see how this one bill would put Adam Smith back into it now

Just vote for a 100% state Opt-out.

Let the socalist democrats controlled states drive themselves into the ground trying to support Obamacare over the next 4 years.

Let the Republican run states with honest republican majorities Opt-out of everything, taxes, regulations, ect...

By 2020 we will own what remains of the healthcare market, bring huge economic benefit to our states, and democrats will still own the socialist disaster they have brought upon themselves in their states.

Any plan that covers pre-existing conditions and leaves state line boundaries in place will fail to bring costs down. Only if McConnellcare or Ryancare, or some bastardized hybrid passes, it'll be the chickenshi'ite Pubbies who will own the debacle, and the 'Rats will be off the hook.

The best plan would be to get the goobermint out of healthcare altogether and let the market make things cheaper, more efficient and better quality. Miraculous thing, that free market.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

What is wrong with just repeal only Obamacare?

It rather naive to ask that question incredulously.

There are obvious problems with "repeal only Obamacare", such as the fact that it would inevitably result in certain people losing their policies, and nobody is going to vote for that with a President who might sign it.

Whatever other reasons there may be, that one is more than sufficient politically to preclude a "repeal only" of Obamacare...

Let RepublicanCare FAIL to pass.

Healthcare cost/prices skyrocket.

Insurance companies abandon.

Liberal voters feel REAL PAIN.

Any plan will need to phase in the full repeal or it will never get the votes. As it is, the Repubs are doing what the do best - blowing a historic opportunity to undo a LOT of what the Dems have wrought -by kicking the can down the road and ensuring nothing gets done and the old policies stay in force.

All they really need to do is call it the first step with other steps to come as it becomes evident how things are going, and get together and make it happen. it's the "all or nothing" folks that will kill us with their "principles" and total lack of connection to reality.
