The Obamacare repeal has 17% public approval.  At least 14 million people will lose their insurance.  Rates will go up for everyone except the very rich, especially the elderly, and people with pre-existing conditions. It will cost more.
AARP, doctors, hospitals, and patient advocates are all against it.
.. and this is how Republicans "fix" a problem...

In what way is this working for the people?...

It's like repairing potholes with dynamite...

Fortunately, it doesn't look like it'll get past the Senate.

I think the genie is out of the bottle and not going back in....
Pre-exsisting condition is still a medical condition, and isn't that the crux of medicine......
I think some sort of healthcare will result from Obamacare, a good thing.
I like personal responsibility tax, live fat and lazy, smoke, etc, you pay more.

On Fox News, Charles Krauthammer predicts America will have single-payer health care within 7 years

Jog,.. pre HMO you had Blue Cross Blue Shield,... which was then government subsidized...

"Prior to 1986, organizations administering BCBS were tax exempt under 501(c)(4) as social welfare plans. However, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 revoked the exemption, because the plans sold commercial-type insurance. They became 501(m) organizations, subject to federal taxation, but entitled to "special tax benefits""-wiki

So, I'm "Subsidized " by criminals when they Don't break in and Steal what's mine?

If you're convinced that because BCBS was , uhh, subsidized, and that made it worse than wholly controlled by the goobs health care, please explain.

Once a Fkking gin, the HMO scheme limited access AND created a Whole New career field of Medical Coders. A College degree required to sit and enter numbers next to diagnoses, and they are well paid. A completely parasitic burden on the system.
The Unintended Consequences, not unforeseeable consequences, were a Real increase in costs of care.
Do we remember the social engineers mantra?

Problem, Reaction, Solution.
The Crisis was Created in order to get people to Want the government, (Yes , Martha, the same people who caused the problem.  ) to Fix it. And, like the education system they announced was broken and then went to work on, they are gonna FIX the health care system to death.
If they say it's good for us, but not for them, and you're goofy enough to support it, then good for you.
America swims in debt as they spend more. But somehow, the goobs who LITERALLY can't account for Billions of dollars, that's who you people want running things.
Geniuses..
