Just spoke to a health care executive tonight about repealing the AFA. He says that there is no way congress is going to take health care away from millions who had none before.
They expect some cosmetic changes, but no real roll back. It would be political suicide.
Not what I wanted to hear, but when he started going into the details - like are you going to take pregnant women and patients being treated for cancer off the insurance roles - it started to make sense, unfortunately.
At best we are looking at a slow roll back.
Frankly, the reason why “millions” had no health care coverage before the ACA was due to left-wing policies prior to the ACA. If socialistic creep had been kept out of medicine, and it’s been going on for decades (what do you think the cause was of seniors getting their life savings drained by exorbitant hospital bills, after all), we would still have doctors looking to solicit our business.
Don’t listen to the games they play about pregnant women and cancer patients. They’ll do anything to stop a reversion to the private sector and private charity work.
Regardless the changes involved, it will take years to transition.

It’s a welfare program, IMO. You can get rid of the mandates and government marketplaces but the subsidies are here to stay. The Dems have blown a huge hole in the fedgov budget creating this entitlement.
I love how people can “get used to” having no jobs, no houses, third world blood suckers invading their schools and neighborhoods but government programs that virtually give them CRUMBS, if that—they can’t live without them.
