Even if Obamacare's ultimate failure were inevitable, Republicans can't sit on their hands and watch it die in slow motion. Far too many people will be hurt, which is unacceptable.

There are going to be winners and losers with any plan. With Obamacare the winners were those with pre-existing conditions and lower income people who became eligible for Medicaid. The losers were those who bought health-care insurance on their own and saw their premiums sky-rocket, people who saw their hours cut be companies not wanting to meet the minimum hour requirement for providing insurance. Under Trumpcare the winners will be those who can buy lower cost premiums that meet their needs and people whose employers no longer need to provide insurance and therefore don't need to cut hours. The losers will be those with pre-existing conditions and those who will be dropped from Medicaid when that gets cut. People are going to get hurt one way or the other, so if Limbaugh's goal is to not hurt anyone then he's going to be disappointed no matter what happens.

Why is every female required to carry maternity coverage? Many of us are way beyond needing such coverage!!!

A person should be able to pick their coverage ala-carte and only pay for what they need.

It would have been an insult to me to have been on my father’s insurance until I turned 26-—a total insult. I was on my own.
