The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148) is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.

What so hard about that?

Because all of the foundations of employer provided health care was destroyed and can't simply be wished back into existence.

The original intent was to force everyone to buy insurance similar to every driver forced to buy auto insurance. This is generally a good thing as no one wants to pay for someone else's free ride.

The problems arose because politicians had to load it with carrots and sticks to get it passed and to ensure that all of the deadbeats who wouldn't or couldn't pay would be covered by subsidies.

But because we have imported the third world into our country and half of the millenials are incapable of working, the citizens working had to forgo their good insurance to ensure crappy coverage for all.

Obama and the Democrats lowering the bar instead of helping those below.

It doesn’t take wishes. It takes doing. What’s so hard about doing it? It was far more difficult to impose ACA than it will be to return to the status quo ante. All that’s lacking is will. Republicans do not want to repeal ACA. THAT is the problem.

Right...’cuz the Free Market will *NEVER* rush to fill in the void (rolls eyes).

Nobody is going to sit on their laurels and lose possible market share.

And the involuntary servitude is moral...how?!

Bill #1 (above)
Bill #2 Approve sales across State lines, persons get the same tax benefits as employers, eliminate the ER provisions (or make it ‘life threatening’ only they cannot turn away), HSAs, a la carte plans (make insurance INSURANCE again)

...THEN see in a year/two what else can be done to better (not CONTROL).
