Read the article. They are planning to enact the repeal early in 2017.
The sunset clause determines how long people will have to transition to new policies.
Open enrollment is in progress right now, and you must enroll by December 15 to start/continue coverage on January 1, 2017.
There's no point in upending that. And, if you have insurance through your company, major changes wait until the next plan year.
However, I think that 3 years is a too long, unless all they want is to offer someone the option to continue a current policy from the exchange.
We should have plenty of time for any changes to be implemented before the next open enrollment, unless Democrats try to obstruct the process.
Good evaluation.
There has to be a grandfathering period, but 3 yrs is a bit long.
I’d guess 2 yrs from time the replacement is voted in. Probably late 2017, because there is a USSC justice to fight for and the wall legislation to fight over and lots of stuff on the plate.
Passing a termination 21 Jan with a 2-3 yr grandfather period keeps the promise and cracks the whip on getting a replacement defined.
And guys, before you stomp your feet and yell people can pay their own insurance, consider the 26 yr old construction worker with a wife and 2 kids who walks outside one day, slips on ice in his own yard and compound fractures his leg. That’s $30,000 down the tubes without insurance. This stuff isn’t solely about “getting sick”. It is also about getting hurt.
“Read the article. They are planning to enact the repeal early in 2017.

A repeal that doesn’t kick in for 3 years is worthless. And its designed to get it into the next presidential election cycle. The government needs to immediately and instantly end all of its dealings in the insurance business. The industry would blind you with the speed that it offered products.
Paupers can get government help to buy something.
