Repeal Obamacare and leave it at that.
RE: Repeal Obamacare and leave it at that.
What happens to those who have enrolled via the Exchanges?
Repeal YES! Feds have no role, no ability to run a national health system. None.
IF any more taxpayer spending is needed, health care is a state and local matter ... NOT federal.
Let the states handle it, they’re closer and usually better at running service type programs anyway (just look at VA!)
Replace Obamacare at the fed level? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Repeal it and move on to other necessary repairs to the Obama regime’s Destruction Derby.
Bad idea...the Rats would go ballistic with horror stories 24/7 for the next 4 years.
Repeal it and reintroduce a law that would contain 1 or 2 of ObamaCare's lesser features but *without* the mandates or fines.
The exchanges are going away sooner or later. Why not sooner?
Agreed!
I suspect the end product may be close to that.
There will also be legislation allowing insurance companies to compete anywhere they like in the nation.
It’s about time they did that.
So much better to implement another expensive and ineffective government program?
Repeal it and reintroduce a law that would contain 1 or 2 of ObamaCare's lesser features but *without* the mandates or fines.
How will that prevent horror stories?
Won't accomplish anything. It's been tried by individual states in the past and there is no incentive for insurance companies to sell and no incentive for customers to buy.
Yes there is.
Insurance companies are always looking for more business, and consumers are always looking for lower prices.
This will help.
the bigger point is that the entire insurance market would crash. Fortunately, Trump/Price have better ideas
Insurance companies first and foremost want to make money. And consumers want to control their costs. If an insurance company does not currently sell policies in my state then they don't have a network of doctors, hospitals, and providers to control their costs. If I buy their policy then I'm going to pay a higher co-pay, a higher percentage of the bill, and a higher deductible than with a company that has a network established that I can use. So the insurance company has no idea if they can make money off me. And I sure don't want to pay more out of pocket. Looks like a lose/lose situation to me.
Works for me. Repeal and then wind up never replacing b/c no consensus can be reached. Gridlock can be good!
Repealing itself? Only 4 of 24 Obamacare exchanges still open
There are only four exchanges still operating
nope
Sorry, that’s not entirely how it works.
Repeal Jan 20, 2017. Replace it in Sept. 2018. Let the term limited governors come up with the new one. They can then each run for one of the Senate seats the Rats are defending.
Then by all means please enlighten me.
