Go back to the way it was, except with your ability to buy from any state you wanted. Some allow total underwriting.

So...no more obtaining insurance with a pre-existing condition or carrying children on parents policy until 26? What do you say to the people losing their coverage? Let's face it, one thing that cost Obamacare popularity was all the stories about people losing their coverage because of it. Now it's going to happen all over again.

Require providers to post procedure costs so you could get the best deal.

You can already get that online.

Total portability from state to state, Health savings accounts with a roll-over from year to year allowing high-deductibles.

Again, already available.

High Risk Pools for the uninsurable.

One pool of people most likely to cost the insurance companies the most money? Who would be able to afford the premiums for that?

Wrong, that's what the HRPs are for. Guaranteed Issue is what makes it so expensive.

carrying children on parents policy until 26?

That's up to the individual states.

Go buy insurance on the private market, it'll be much less expensive. More people lost insurance than obtained it, mostly on medical welfare now (Medicaid).

Let's face it, one thing that cost Obamacare popularity was all the stories about people losing their coverage because of it.

That's because ObolaCare made their policies illegal, now they'd be legal again.

Now it's going to happen all over again.

No, the reverse would happen.

I doubt it, but if so, that would be a good thing. So how much is a lung transplant in your area?

Total portability from state to state...Again, already available.

I don't think so.

One pool of people most likely to cost the insurance companies the most money? Who would be able to afford the premiums for that?

Before the ACA, a majority of states had them, and with much lower premiums. Only a small percentage of the insureds were in them, and they are partially subsidized by the insurers.

If you don't understand the free-market principles of health insurance...why are you debating this?

If you're so in love with guaranteed issue and outrageous premiums, I'm sure one of the RAT states will have an overpriced policy for you...New Jersey for example.
