Good News!
Repeal Obamacare!
And then abolish Medicaid and Medicare.

You can’t just dump the ACA with no replacement and leave 20 million people flapping in the breeze. There has to be a transitional replacement in place.
It is phasing itself out.
I doubt it would be in existence in 2 years even if nothing was done to get rid of it.
Reminds me of when Dirigo Health Care was crashing and burning...
Ah yes, those were the good old days.
Yes, it’s eating itself. But unfortunately it’s taking Social Security and Medicare with it as sides.

Roughly 20 million total between the ACA between the Marketplace, Medicaid expansion, young adults staying on their parents plan, and other coverage provisions. There must be a replacement for the repeal to work.
wow that’s worse than the original website. It’s not just getting more expensive (yeah yeah they’ll say it is increasing at a slower rate than it would have...) it’s FAILING
The title is confusing co-ops and exchanges. Other exchanges are still open.
The exchanges were far from the worst part - it was the massive avalanche of requirements and then the regulations of what policies can and cannot cover, what doctors can and cannot treat, the types of policies available, favoritism for corporate structures vs. small practices, and too many other things to list...and unfortunately all of that remains regardless of the exchanges collapsing...and it is almost certainly why they are collapsing along with many other things in the system.
Crashing By Design.
Politically, they will probably have to keep the “stay on your parents’ policy until age 26. I’d rather see that remain as an option where insurers may choose that option for a competitive advantage rather than a mandate where insurers must offer it, but I suspect it will remain.
The other part of this evil law that might be politically difficult to kill is the preexisting conditions. I’d like to see that remain in some sort of high-risk pool option, if it remains at all. The rest of Obamacare though should be gone at the end of 2017. The “phase out” should be that those on Obamacare may (not must) stay on for the calendar year that starts in three weeks.
If President Trump manages to revoke and repeal the rest of Obama’s legacy and we’re stuck just with those two provisions and the crippling debt that he socialists bequeathed to our children, that’s pretty good considering. I’d still say we dodged a bullet during these eight terrible years.
The “framers” of 0bamacare knew that their project would only “work” with coercion and force.
