Sorry, I have to say that I think this is a very bad move on Trump’s part. Obamacare has been in place long enough for people to have organized their lives around it, and simply dismantling it without some at least transitional plan will be a disaster for him.

We need these provisions because the implementation of Obamacare caused medical costs to rise even more than they had before. 25 years ago, I could have a doctor’s visit and test for $50. Now a physical costs $400! I kid you not. To rent an oxygen machine that costs at most $6k is $200/week. I can rent a truck for less than that.

We should not make any changes until we figure out why costs are so high and figure out how to deal with that.

Health care may not be a right, but people also don’t have the right to withhold health care so they can make an **unreasonable** amount of money.

I agree.

Bigtime. This is the ONE issue I am completely against.

What the heck?

Why?

Well said. Too bad Obamacare wasn’t withheld until they did the core work.

How many are you getting?

The ACA guarantees one per year for free.
