These sob stories sound like problems with their greedy lovely insurance companies and not ACA

Edit: LMAO you people still don't have single payer healthcare.

Yeah once you give large companies years to rake in huge profits they get very good at influencing laws related to their own industry. It makes fixing Healthcare rough, because our politicians are largely not altruistic and the lobbyists offer a lot of money

ACA was a decent compromise but without going fully single payer it was bound to have issues, and it didn't help that many red states preferred to gently caress over their poor people rather than get on board with the voluntary parts of the ACA in the hopes that this would 'prove' what a disaster it was

Who could have guessed Healthcare could be so complicated?! Lol

Assuming they're mature adults with careers and dual income $35,000 a year isn't exactly rolling in it.

President Donald Trump on Monday warned that Republicans “are putting themselves in a very bad position” by repealing and replacing Obamacare, even as he endorsed the GOP plan to do just that.

Trump blasted Obamacare on Monday morning, telling so-called “victims” of former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act that “a lot of people in the Senate and a lot of people in the House are committed to repealing and replacing this disastrous law with a health care plan that lowers cost, expands choice and ensures access for everyone.”

CNBC posted:

President-elect Trump on Wednesday said a "repeal-and-replace" plan for Obamacare would be submitted as soon as the Senate approves his nominee, Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., for secretary of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department.

"It will be essentially simultaneously," Trump said. "The same day or the same week ... could be the same hour."

Price's confirmation hearing in the Senate is scheduled for Jan. 18.

Genuinely, I'm lost. What's going on with Obamacare? Is someone saying do it and someone else saying don't do it? Is someone replacing it with something similar? Like I have zero idea anymore wtf is going on in your country with regards to healthcare, I just know that whatever it is, its lol.

trump wants to replace Obamacare, AKA the ACA with...whatever they proposed last week
but now the republicans in his own party don't like this new bill either
so we're no closer to a solution than we were before and trump confused the issue even further with a dumbass off the cuff comment about 'heh we should allow it to fail just to PROVE how right we were amirite'

He's doing a fake left, go right I think. He said he'd repeal it Day one, then realizing people won't like his plan, changed to say it should stay and fail. For reasons

He's switching sides like he always does. When the bill fails to pass he'll be all "I told them it was a bad bill and needed more work. SAD!"

Well the republicans are trying to jam a really, really lovely replacement through that is going to lower coverage and increase costs, as a budget item (can pass with a simple majority, won't be filibustered). I don't really get why, but apparently, creating a new health care bill that chages policy, which they need to do in order to get anything good in there like cross border competition, would be subject to filibuster by democrats (while tacking-on to budget won't be). So It seems like its not even possible to get a better replacement for Obamacare OR anything the prez promised.

lol?
