The problem with repealing it outright is that there are so many fragments of the gawd awful thing that have embedded themselves into every aspect of our lives. And one piece holds up another piece that holds up some legitimate part
of health care.

Whether a straight repeal is doable, I don’t know.

There's no need to repeal ObamaCare. It can be effectively repealed without any action by Congress through the following simple approach:

1. An insurance company should develop a medical insurance plan that meets the legal requirements of one or more states but doesn't meet any of the most onerous and expensive requirements of ObamaCare.

2. One or more states can authorize the sale of this insurance plan within their borders.

3. The Trump administration can either issue an ObamaCare waiver for that plan, or it can simply do nothing.

Once people in one or more states enjoy their new insurance plans with lower premiums and/or lower deductibles, there's no way in hell anyone in Congress -- or even a future administration -- is going to have the balls to do anything about it. And there will be an enormous wave of political pressure from people in other states to get access to their own "non-compliant" insurance plans.
